    Reliable recognition of a wider range of subjects

    The α7C II features a powerful AI processing unit, capable of human, animal, bird, insect, car/train and airplane9 recognition. Animal recognition now recognizes the eyes of some grazing and small animals, in addition to the eyes and heads of dogs, cats and similarly featured animals. It can even recognize these animals when their eyes are obscured from view. The camera also comes with bird recognition, enabling it to pinpoint the eyes of a variety of bird types, as well as recognizing birds' heads and bodies.

    Tenacious Real-time Tracking10

    The α7C II boasts greatly improved subject recognition, offering higher reliability in a wider range of shooting situations. Specify a subject and half-press the shutter button to prompt the camera to start tracking, leaving you free to concentrate on framing and composition.

    AI-based Auto Framing for movies11

    Using AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops for optimum framing when shooting movies. Even when the camera is mounted on a tripod, the framing is continually adjusted so that the recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by a camera operator. Accurate tracking is possible even when the camera is being operated remotely via the Creators' App12 on a smartphone.

    Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view when focusing13

    With the breathing compensation function turned on, the α7C II employs Sony's original Clear Image Zoom technology to suppress focus breathing, enabling professional-quality rack and refocusing. Breathing metadata can also be used with the advanced breathing compensation capabilities of the latest Catalyst Browse/Prepare Plugin software during post-production.

    Active Mode14 image stabilization supports handheld movie shooting

    Handheld movie shooting got even smoother with the α7C II's Active Mode14 that provides enhanced image stabilization. A precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and an optimized image stabilization algorithm work together for exceedingly smooth, stable movie footage.  In addition to this in-body stabilization, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilization15 coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, delivering more stable footage, even when shooting while walking.

    Advanced 5-axis and 7.0-step16 image stabilization

    Handheld shooting for stills got even better, thanks to the α7C II's high-precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimized image stabilization algorithms that effectively correct camera shake, achieving 7.0-step stabilization16. Compatible lenses with built-in image stabilization15 combine with improved synchronization between the body and lens to provide even more stable framing.  [1] Yaw [2] Roll [3] Pitch.
