A portal to unseen worlds
Depicting scenes in intimate detail
The image processing system has evolved to deliver high resolution and low noise throughout a wider ISO range. The camera depicts the mood of every scene’s surroundings as well as texture of details.
42.4MP 3 full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor
The Exmor R sensor’s back-illuminated, gapless on-chip lens design increases light sensitivity and provides wide dynamic range, despite its high resolution of 42.4MP 3.
Greatly enhanced image processing
A new front-end LSI and BIONZ X™ boost processing speed and are teamed with the Exmor R™ sensor to deliver up to 15-stop dynamic range at low ISO sensitivity for stills, enabling richer tonal expression.
Wide standard ISO 100-32000 range

Strong, light, reliable design takes you further
High-resolution Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder provides natural, high-precision viewfinder image. The functional advantages of an EVF, such as high visibility in darkness and AF capability when using magnified display, is further enhanced for powerful shooting support. For even greater versatility, the α7R III’s small, light body is robust and rigid enough for rugged use.
3.69-million-dot Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder
This high-resolution twice-as-bright 8 electronic viewfinder reproduces fine detail. “Hi” quality mode provides extra-fine views of natural realism on brilliant display.
Excellent Reliability
Light, high-rigidity magnesium alloy top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover help make the body very durable. Front and rear curtain shutter vibration are so subdued that the shutter has been tested to withstand over 500,000 shutter cycles. All major buttons and dials are sealed to minimise entry of dust and moisture, ensuring reliable function in tough shooting conditions.
Up to 10fps 11 continuous shooting
Capture an instant action with continuous shooting of up to 10fps 11 with AF/AE tracking. Huge data of 42.4MP 3 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 10fps 11 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 image area width and height plus 425 densely positioned contrast-detection AF points 12 improve focus that might otherwise be unachievable.
Up to 2x faster (approx.) AF response 13
Thanks to much more responsive, enhanced Fast Hybrid AF, AF speed is up to approximately two times faster 13 under dim lighting conditions.
AF tracking improved by approx. 2x 5
The AF algorithm inherited from the α9 accounts for two times more precise 5 AF tracking for continuous shooting, even of complex or sudden movement.
See more about 4D FOCUS
Reliable AF down to EV-3 brightness
Advanced AF algorithms contribute to high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-3 14, for 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
Dual media slots, UHS-II support
Capture up to 76 compressed RAW 16 or JPEG images in a continuous burst. 17 This allows you to confidently concentrate on burst shooting without distraction.
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
Rating function
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 connection of external batteries for extended shooting.
With 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
My Menu: faster to your favourites
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.
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.
Eye AF with doubled performance
With the α7R III, Eye AF evolves with two times 5 more immediate, effective eye detection and tracking, even when shooting a moving portrait subject.
Even if face is partially hidden 18
Even when looking down 18
Even in dim light 18
Enhanced image stabilisation: freer shooting
Thanks to 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.
Pitch and yaw compensation
Horizontal/vertical shift compensation
Roll compensation
5-axis optical in-body image stabilisation
New stabilisation unit/gyro sensors/algorithms effectively raise 5.5 stops 19. Five types of camera shake — angular shake (pitch/yaw), X/Y shift, and rotational shake (roll) — are compensated.
High connectivity for professional workflow
The α7R III includes SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps (USB 3.2) compatible USB Type-C® port and sync terminals that enable the camera to be connected directly to external devices without delay. These connections make workflow more seamless and stress-free, even for studio shooting that makes use of PC tethered shooting or flash.
