Improvements over α7R II
editSeveral improvements were made compared to the α7R II, including the following:[2]
- Improved dynamic range due to lower noise in sensor readout
- 425 contrast-detect autofocus points, up from 25 in the α7R II
- Altered button layout reminiscent of the α9
- Improved autofocus performance
- Improved battery life due to larger battery
- Dual SD card slots, compared to a single slot in the α7R II. However, the slots do not exactly match. One is an SD slot (UHS-I/II compliant), the other is a dual SD (UHS-I compliant) and Sony Memory Stick Duo slot.
- Improved shutter mechanism to reduce shutter-induced shake
- Pixel shift multi-shot mode that combines exposures taken on each subpixel of the Bayer filter, improving overall image quality
