Ultra-high sensitivity 35mm full-frame sensor delivers ultra wide dynamic range for high-quality stills and movies

High-speed BIONZ X TM image processing engine

Sonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 12.2-megapixel*1 image sensor achieves awe-inspiring sensitivity from ISO 50 to 409600*2 and a wide dynamic range with extremely low noise throughout the entire ISO range. So you can capture what could never be captured before in both still images and movies. High shutter speed usage in low lighting, for example, is now practical at last thanks to accumulated Sony image sensor technology including extralarge pixels and sophisticated light capturing technology.

Every detail of your subject and scene is faithfully reproduced in real time, as seen by the naked eye, by the accelerated processing of Sonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optimized BIONZ X image processing engine. Sony specially modified BIONZ X to complement the sensorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenal sensitivity and deliver supremely natural details, stunning realism, rich tonal gradation and exceptionally low noise whether shooting still images or movies.

*1 Approximate effective megapixels. *2 Standard ISO range: 100-102400 for stills and movies. Expandable ISO range: 50-409600 for stills, 100-409600 for movies.

Gapless on-chip lenses enhance light gathering efficiency

Detail reproduction technology and diffraction-reducing technology

The image sensorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high sensitivity was enhanced by eliminating the gaps between every on-chip lens (OCL) covering every pixel. Since there is no wasted space between these lenses, they gather far more light for the image sensor. Sony also optimally positioned them depending on their location to match how light enters the sensor at sharper angles near the periphery. These advances raise sensitivity while maintaining extremely low noise to deliver an impressive S/N ratio whether shooting still images or movies.

Detail reproduction technology makes every detail look more natural by preventing overemphasized outlines. Diffraction-reducing technology restores clarity to fine Detail reproduction technology

Sony is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 manufacturer of image sensors for digital cameras and video recorders (based on Sony research from April 2012 to March 2013 that shows Sony has a 50% market share).

Area-specific noise reduction

details that diffraction tends to blur at small aperture settings (large Fnumbers), thus bringing out more of the potential of your lens, especially during deep focus shooting.

This technology, in combination with the ultra-high sensitivity image sensor, reduces noise to lower levels than ever before. Together with detail reproduction technol-

ogy, it delivers clearer, more finely detailed images by selectively dividing the image into areas based on patterns (such as edges, textures and evenly colored areas

like blue skies), then applying the most appropriate noise reduction for each area to markedly reduce noise and improve image quality.

Unrivaled sensitivity transforms professional movie expression Sony takes one-man moviemaking to an exciting new level with the unprecedented sensitivity (up to ISO 409600*1), wide dynamic range, unmatched mobility and professional moviemaking features of the 7S. Sonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrivaled professional camcorder expertise has been fully employed to ensure the 7S offers everything serious moviemakers demand, from high-bit-rate XAVC STM format recording and clean 4K*2 HDMI output (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) to an optional XLR Adaptor Kit with XLR terminals. *1 Standard ISO range: 100-102400 for stills and movies. Expandable ISO range: 50-409600 for stills, 100-409600 for movies. *2 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) movie recording requires a 4K-compatible recorder.

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full-frame full pixel readout*1 without pixel binning for movie output while utilizing the full width of the sensor

Advanced movie functions support a professional workflow Picture Profile You can fine-tune the look of movies before shooting by adjusting gradation (Black Level, Gamma, Black Gamma, Knee), color adjustment (Color Mode, Color Level, Color Phase, Color Depth) and Detail. Adjusted parameters can be saved along with other settings as a profile, and up to seven profiles can be stored for later recall.

REC Control The 7S is equipped with a REC Control function that enables synchronized recording of non-compressed images in the camera and a compatible external recorder. With the On setting activated, the compatible external recorder starts recording automatically when the cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record button is pressed.

S-Log2 gamma setting This proprietary Sony gamma setting, featured in professional camcorders, creates a 1,300% wider dynamic range for smooth expression of gradation with reduced whiteout and blackout. Through color grading in post production, you can make the most of the low-noise image and super-rich detail to achieve various types of image expression.

120fps* shooting at HD resolution 120fps recording broadens image expression options since a movie shot at this frame rate can be played back at 24p to create stunning 5x slow-motion effects.

When 120fps recording is selected, movies are automatically recorded at HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) in the APS-C (Super 35mm equivalent) crop size. * PAL: 100fps

Time code / User bit As with commercial video equipment, this function provides a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Record Runâ&#x20AC;? setting that only advances the time code while recording, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Runâ&#x20AC;? setting that advances the time code whether recording or not, a drop frame method and a non-drop frame method. The 7S can also output an embedded time code when the clean HDMI output setting is in use.

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first full-frame sensor capable of full pixel readout*1 without pixel binning for movies and 4K*2 HDMI video output (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) ensures the highest possible image quality. You can record Full HD movies at 60p (50p), 60i (50i), 30p (25p), and 24p frame rates, output 4K*2 movies at a 30p (25p) or 24p frame rate, and output Full HD movies at any frame rate except 30p (25p). You can also switch from full-frame to APS-C*3 (Super 35mm equivalent) if desired.

Note: This function is only available when recording in the AVCHD and XAVC S formats.

*1 Uses full width of sensor in 30p (25p)/24p movie setting. *2 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) movie recording requires a 4K-compatible recorder. *3 After switching, output is converted to 4K size.
