Sony Alpha a7C II with SEL2860 Lens Kit (Silver) (SKU ILCE7CM2LS.CEC)

The Sony a7C II builds on the slim, full-frame design of the first-generation a7C and adds higher resolution, more advanced autofocus, improved in-body image stabilization, and stronger video features. It keeps the same compact, everyday carry form factor while offering performance that suits serious hybrid photo and video work.

33MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor and BIONZ XR Processor

The a7C II uses a 33MP full-frame Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor working together with a BIONZ XR processor. This combination supports 10-bit 4K recording at up to 30 fps and continuous still shooting up to 10 fps with full AF and AE, using either the mechanical or electronic shutter.

The back-illuminated sensor design increases resolution without sacrificing sensitivity. With a native ISO range of 100–51,200, expandable to 50–204,800, the camera delivers strong low-light performance, minimal noise, and a wide dynamic range.

Video Recording Capabilities

The a7C II includes a robust set of video tools for content creators and videographers:

• 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording using the XAVC S-I format for consistent, high-quality results at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.

• Full-frame 4K recording up to 30p, 4K up to 60p using a Super 35 crop, and Full HD recording up to 120p, all with full 1:1 pixel readout and no pixel binning.

• 120 fps Full HD recording supports 4x or 5x slow-motion playback when footage is delivered at 30p or 24p.

• Slow & Quick (S&Q) mode allows 4K capture at selected frame rates between 1–60 fps and Full HD between 1–120 fps, enabling in-camera slow-motion and fast-motion effects.

• S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine gamma profiles provide more than 15 stops of dynamic range and improved flexibility in post-production, including easier matching with Sony Cinema Line cameras.

• S-Cinetone gives a cinematic look with natural skin tones, soft color, and controlled highlights, based on Sony’s professional Cinema Line (including cameras like VENICE).

• Creative Looks can be applied during recording to establish a specific mood in-camera and reduce time spent on color grading.

• User LUTs and presets can be loaded and used on the LCD, EVF, or HDMI output for accurate monitoring or previewing a final look while shooting.

AI-Powered Autofocus and Image Stabilization

An AI Processing Unit significantly enhances both autofocus and stabilization performance:

• 759 phase-detection points for stills and 495 phase-detection points for video, covering about 94% of the image area.

• AI-based subject recognition and real-time tracking for more reliable performance across many shooting situations.

• A new autoexposure algorithm using Human Pose Estimation to prioritize key areas in the scene, improving overall exposure accuracy by about 20%.

• Improved auto white balance for more consistent color in difficult or mixed lighting.

Additional autofocus and assistance features include:

• Focus bracketing with up to 299 images using sequentially shifted focus points.

• AF sensitivity down to -4.0 EV for reliable focusing in very low light.

• Focus breathing compensation with supported lenses.

• Autofocus assist, focus mapping, and focus peaking that can operate while autofocus is active.

Vlog-Friendly AI-Enhanced Framing

While recording video, the AI unit can recognize and track subjects, automatically adjusting crop and composition to keep them in a prominent position within the frame. You can customize where in the frame the subject should be held and adjust tracking speed and responsiveness via the touchscreen, making solo shooting and complex camera moves easier and more intuitive.

Image Stabilization

The a7C II features a 5-axis in-body optical image stabilization system optimized at the pixel level:

• Up to 7 stops of shake compensation, correcting five types of camera movement for both stills and video.

• Refined algorithms and AI-assisted communication between the body and lens provide more stable framing even before the shutter is released.

This makes it easier to use any lens—even adapted lenses—for critical imaging without excessive blur from camera shake.

Advanced Rendering for Stills

For still photography, the a7C II offers a flexible set of tools for balancing quality and file size:

• Support for HEIF image format alongside JPEG and raw, offering high quality with more efficient storage.

• Options for Compressed and Lossless Compressed raw files, depending on your workflow and storage needs.

• AI-assisted Auto mode exposure, with special tuning for skin tones, backlit scenes, and white balance.

Creative Looks presets used in video are also available for stills and can be customized with eight adjustable parameters. For optimal viewing on compatible displays, a stills-focused Hybrid Log-Gamma mode delivers accurate dynamic range in 10-bit HEIF format.

Body Design and Connectivity

• A front command dial provides extra direct control under your index finger, helping you adjust key settings quickly while shooting.

• USB output with UVC/UAC support allows the a7C II to function as a full-frame 4K 30 fps webcam for streaming and live broadcasts.

• Built-in Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands for wireless image transfer, remote control, and quick sharing to mobile devices and online platforms.

• 3.5 mm headphone and microphone jacks allow precise monitoring and control of audio during video recording.

• A 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.70x magnification provides a bright, detailed eye-level view and supports a 120 fps mode for smoother tracking of moving subjects.

• The side-opening, vari-angle 3.0" 1.03M-dot LCD touchscreen supports high, low, and front-facing shooting positions, ideal for vlogging or self-recording.

• The camera uses the high-capacity NP-FZ100 Z battery and can also be powered or charged over USB from a computer or external power bank.

• A magnesium alloy body offers durability while remaining lightweight and includes dust- and moisture-sealing for use in more demanding environments.

Sony FE 28–60mm f/4–5.6 Lens – Portable Powerhouse Standard Zoom

This compact FE 28–60mm f/4–5.6 zoom is designed as a small, versatile standard lens for full-frame E-mount cameras:

• Wide-angle to long-normal zoom range makes it suitable for everyday subjects such as street scenes, travel, and portraits.

• Retractable design keeps the lens extremely compact when not in use, measuring about 1.8" in length.

• Lightweight at approximately 5.9 oz, it pairs very well with compact full-frame and APS-C bodies.

• Dust- and moisture-resistant construction supports shooting in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Optics and autofocus

• Three aspherical elements reduce spherical aberrations and distortion across the zoom range, improving sharpness and rendering.

• The use of specialized elements also helps maintain a small, lightweight build.

• A linear motor and internal focusing system provide fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, suitable for both stills and video.

• A minimum focusing distance of 11.8" (30 cm) across the zoom range increases versatility for close-ups and detail shots.

• A rounded seven-blade diaphragm helps produce smooth, pleasing bokeh.
