This high-resolution twice-as-bright⁹ electronic viewfinder reproduces fine detail. "Hi” quality mode provides extra-fine views of natural realism on brilliant display.

Seize moments with quick precision

Up to 10 fps¹² continuous shooting

Capture an instant action with continuous shooting of up to 10 fps¹² with AF/AE tracking. Huge data of 42.4MP4 imaging maintains high image quality that is advantageous for your creative trimming.

Shoot continuously in absolute silence

This camera allows silent shooting at up to 10 fps¹² with AF/AE tracking. Silence is critical for shooting wildlife, when even slight noise can mean missing a chance at an ideal shot.

Dramatically evolved AF performance

AF performance is improved by inheriting the AF performance used in the α9 and applying it optimally, so once the α7R III captures a wild animal that moves unpredictably, it won't easily let it go.

Comprehensive Fast Hybrid AF coverage

399 phase-detection AF points covering approx. 68% of the image area width and height plus 425 densely positioned contrast-detection AF points¹³ improve focus that might otherwise be unachievable.

Up to 2x faster (approx.) AF response¹⁴

Thanks to much more responsive, enhanced Fast Hybrid AF, AF speed is up to approximately two times faster¹⁴ under dim lighting conditions.

AF tracking improved by approx. 2x AF tracking improved by approx. 2x⁶

The AF algorithm inherited from the α9 accounts for two times more precise⁶ AF tracking for continuous shooting, even of complex or sudden movement.

Reliable AF down to EV-3 brightness

Advanced AF algorithms contribute to high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-3¹⁵, offering more reliable autofocus in dark scenes.

Never waste a moment

New multi-selector, AF-ON button and touch focus functions make focus operation quick and intuitive. With built-in dual slots and compatibility with large-capacity rechargeable-battery NP-FZ100, the α7R III also ensures that you can shoot with far less interruption, because you won't need to change media and battery as frequently.

Shoot up to 76 images continuously

Capture up to 76 compressed RAW¹⁷ or JPEG images in a continuous burst.¹⁸ This allows you to confidently concentrate on burst shooting without distraction.

Dual media slots, UHS-II support

With two media slots, including one that's UHS-II-compatible for fast data writing, the α7R III can simultaneously or relay record, separate RAW/JPEG data and stills/movies and copy data between cards.

Extend shooting to professional length

The α7R III can use a NP-FZ100 battery with approx. 2.2 times as much capacity as a NP-FW50 battery. USB Type-C™ and Multi/Micro USB ports allow external batteries to be connected for extended shooting.

Rating function

With the rating function, you can rate recorded still images from 1 to 5 stars anywhere right on the spot, using the playback screen to perform the function if it is assigned to a custom button.

Grouping display for continuous shots

A series of photos shot in continuous mode can be reviewed as groups, play index display is improved and continuous groups can be deleted or protected at once

My Menu: faster to your favourites

Register up to 30 frequently used items on the new My Menu for instant recall. You can create and customise an optimal menu for your own convenience.

New portraiture potential

Eye AF with doubled performance

With the α7R III, Eye AF evolves with two times⁶ more immediate, effective eye detection and tracking, even when shooting a moving portrait subject.

Enhanced image stabilisation: freer shooting

Thanks to the enhanced 5-axis in-camera image stabiliser, whenever you want to move and shoot freely, you can rely on the α7R III's high-resolution performance and mobility, in order to concentrate on the subject without worrying about various types of camera-shake blur.

5-axis optical in-body image stabilisation
