Expressive 4K Imaging

Full-Frame Sensor

The FR7 combines a 4K full-frame sensor and compatibility with Sony E-mount lenses to produce outstandingly expressive, cinematic imagery

15+ stops of dynamic range and a base ISO of 800 that is expandable from 12,800 to 409,600 for capturing optimal video in an array of lighting conditions

Sony E-Mount

Compatibility with up to 70 Sony E-mount lenses covers a range of 12 to 1200mm, enabling you to capture the widest vistas and the closest details

Use with G Master (GM) lenses to obtain impressive resolution and pleasing bokeh
