Taking the S series to a whole new level of full-frame movie expression, spectacular new speed combines with supreme sensitivity and ultra-low noise to put previously impossible 4K movie shoots on the menu, with high dynamic range, breathtaking focusing, and extra-strong image stabilisation. Your new creative potential awaits. Designed for professionals, the α7S III builds on the strengths of the S series such as high sensitivity and wide dynamic range while providing pro features like enhanced AF, optical image stabilisation and 4K 120p recording. Incorporating a powerful new engine in its compact body, the camera delivers a wide range of visual experiences. Flexibility in positioning the camera and framing shots is provided by the side-opening, vari-angle monitor, which incorporates a bright 3.0-type, 1.44 million-dot13 LCD screen. The MOVIE button is within easy reach on the camera's top panel, and a durable HDMI Type-A terminal ensures reliable connections to external monitors. Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF make movie-making much easier. Touch Tracking initiates subject tracking with an intuitive touch to the LCD monitor, processing data on colour, pattern (brightness), distance (depth) and facial information to keep your subject in steady focus. Facilitating improved image quality and more flexible and efficient editing in post-production, the camera supports 16-bit RAW data output to an external recorder via HDMI, for the first time in the Alpha series. Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF make movie-making much easier.
- Full-frame 12.1 megapixel, Back-Illuminated EXMOR R CMOS Sensor
