Perfection for all
The Sony α7 III offers a back-illuminated CMOS full-frame sensor and other imaging innovations, fast response, easy operation and reliable durability.

Take control of creative expression
With outstanding imaging capabilities and ultra-fast performance in a compact body, the α7 III gives you the power, precision and flexibility to capture unique moments your way.

Reproduce scenes in realistic detail
A back-illuminated image sensor and advanced image processing system meet a wide range of shooting needs with high-quality imaging features you'd only expect from a full-frame camera.

Impressive processing speeds
The 24.2 megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS sensor has a back-illuminated structure and has been combined with BIONZ X™ and front-end LSI. This combination can achieve up to two times higher data readout speeds and up to 1.8 times higher data processing performance.

Back-illuminated full-frame sensor
Higher sensitivity and readout speed - The camera's back-illuminated 35mm CMOS full-frame sensor optimizes light sensitivity, expands the circuit scale and outputs very high-speed data using a copper wire layer for faster transfer.

Reduced image noise in high-resolution
Improves image quality by up to 1.5 steps -
The technologies for detail reproduction and area-specific noise reduction simultaneously ensure that image details are retained and image noise is reduced. Highly effective performance in the medium to high sensitivity range allows you to shoot at high ISO values - the a7 III covers an extremely wide sensitivity range from ISO 100 to 51,200.

Subtle gradation from shadow to bright areas
A dynamic range of up to 15 stops is achieved at low sensitivity settings, thanks to a redesigned CMOS sensor and image processor that ensure smooth gradation from shadow to bright areas.

Faithful color reproduction
More accurate color reproduction directly from the camera -
Color reproduction performance has been significantly improved. As a result, the subjects in your shots have more natural colors that faithfully reproduce how the colors actually look.

No camera shake with 5-axis stabilization
High-precision stabilization achieves a 5.0 step improvement in shutter speed using a stabilization unit and gyro sensors and algorithms. This system compensates for camera shake with many lenses and offers outstanding performance.

14-bit RAW output for rich color gradations
For a more natural gradation, the BIONZ X image processor and front-end LSI process image signals in 16-bit form. This processor enables data output in 14-bit RAW, even in silent mode or continuous shooting mode.

4D FOCUS - Autofocus continues to evolve
Autofocus performance has been improved by optimally applying the same autofocus innovations as the α9. So as soon as the α7 III captures subjects with unpredictable movements, such as dancers, boxers and wildlife in action, it keeps them in focus.

Furthermore, this camera has an impressive number of phase detection autofocus points: 693 covering approximately 93% of the image area and 425 densely placed contrast detection autofocus points for better focusing.

Fast Hybrid AF combines AF phase detection for excellent speed and tracking with high-precision AF contrast detection. This system doubles the autofocus speed.

Improved AF tracking for fast-moving subjects - The autofocus performance inherited from the α9 provides AF tracking with greater precision for continuous shooting of fast, action-packed scenes. Faster readout of the image sensor allows even complex subject movements to be tracked and sudden movements to be accurately predicted.

Improved AF algorithms contribute to high autofocus precision at light levels down to EV-3 and provide more reliable autofocus for scenes in the dark.

693-point focal plane autofocus with phase detection not only covers a wide area and responds instantly - it offers high tracking performance even with an A-mount lens mounted via LA-EA3 lens adapter.

AF with eye detection revolutionizes portraits -
With the α7 III, AF with eye detection can now be used in AF-C mode to achieve effective eye detection and tracking performance when shooting: Even when the face is partially in the dark, even when the subject is looking down and even when backlit.

The α7 III has a touch focus function and a touchpad function. This allows you to move the focus section intuitively with a finger movement when using the viewfinder.

Use autofocus for photos while the focus area is enlarged in the viewfinder or on the monitor, and enlarge the view after autofocusing.

AF areas/points can be changed when you switch between horizontal and vertical orientation. You can assign the focus point settings to custom buttons.

Fast continuous shooting captures the most important moments
The α7 III can take continuous shots at up to 10 frames per second with AF/AE tracking and up to 8 frames per second in Live View mode. The camera also supports silent shooting at up to 10 frames per second with AF/AE tracking and maximum resolution.

Up to 177 JPEG (standard) images, 89 compressed RAW images or 40 uncompressed RAW images can be captured in a single burst.

This camera enables silent shooting at up to 10 frames per second with AF/AE tracking. Silence can be crucial in scenes where even quiet noises can spoil the ideal shot.

Artificial light flicker is detected and the shutter is timed to minimize possible exposure and colour anomalies in images with fast shutter speeds or continuous shooting.

Groups of continuous images can be viewed, deleted or protected quickly and easily. You can access a menu screen and change settings or control photo playback during data processing.

High-resolution 4K HDR2
In addition to the ability to capture stunning 4K movies by oversampling 2.4 times, the camera offers a new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) image profile that supports an instant HDR workflow.

Full pixel display without binning for high resolution 4K movies - The pixel display without binning in 35mm full-frame mode makes it possible to compress approximately 2.4 times as much data as required for 4K movies (QFHD: 3,840 x 2,160), minimizing moiré effects and image defects. In addition, the XAVC S format with bit rates of up to 100 Mbit/s is used for 4K recording.

Improved fast hybrid autofocus for video recording - The fast hybrid autofocus with phase detection and contrast detection locks onto moving subjects and tracks them smoothly. A wide autofocus range, similar to that for stills, is now also available for movies. A reduced autofocus speed in the lower range enables more pronounced effects when focusing slowly.

HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) for instant HDR workflow - Movies shot in HLG image mode are displayed faithfully with minimal under- or overexposed areas without color correction.

S-Log improves gradation from shadows to mid tones and a wide dynamic range of up to 14 steps. You can choose from a frame rate between 1 and 120/100 frames per second for up to 60x time-lapse and 5x slow motion.

Reliable functions and controls in a compact housing
The operation of the α7 III is enhanced by fast control options during recording, amazingly clear views via the Tru-Finder, versatile connection options, extended recording time thanks to numerous power sources and high durability and resistance in damp and dusty conditions.

Longer battery life for more shots at profile length
The new α7 III uses an NP-FZ100 battery that offers up to 2.2 times the capacity of an NP-FW50. This allows you to take up to 710 shots on a single full charge. With the optional BC-QZ1 you can charge your battery even faster.

Two media slots, support for UHS-II
With two media slots - including one with UHS-II compatibility for fast data processing - the α7 III can perform simultaneous or relay shooting, separate RAW/JPEG data and photos/videos, and move data between cards.

My Menu: get to your favorites faster
You can register up to 30 frequently used items on the new My Menu for instant recall. You can create and customize an optional menu.

Rating function
With the rating function, you can rate captured photos directly on site with 1 to 5 stars. For this function, use the playback screen if it has been assigned to a custom button.

High connectivity for smooth workflow
The USB 3.1 Gen 1 compatible USB Type-C™ port ensures smooth and easy high-speed remote transfer to a PC for editing large image files created with PC tethered shooting.

Imaging Edge Software Suite from Sony
Use 'Remote' to control shooting remotely while monitoring scenes via Live View on the PC screen; 'Edit' to convert RAW data into high quality photos; and 'Viewer' to view, rate and select photos from a list of shots.
