Reality realized. New worlds.
The art of bringing the world to life in photographic form hinges on a sublime blend of technical
capability and creative vision. With a new system that achieves outstanding resolution, sensitivity,
dynamic range, and speed, the 7R III provides the technical capability you need to let your
imagination soar and fulfill your vision with breathtaking reality. All of this comes in a compact,
mobile package that is easy and intuitive to use while seamlessly supporting professional workflows.
The 7R III offers the potential you need to realize concepts and explore worlds that have previously been beyond reach.

Technology both frees and confines art. As it evolves restraints
diminish and art comes to the fore. The 7R III makes
an evolutionary leap, freeing the user to explore previously
unseen worlds of detail, color, dimension, and time.

Spectacular Rendering

Versatile viewing

42.4* effective megapixel full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor

3.69 million dot Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder™

Back illumination for high sensitivity, gapless on-chip lenses, antireflective seal glass coating, no
optical low-pass filter, and other
advanced features contribute to un-

precedented imaging performance.
High resolution, high sensitivity with
low noise, and wide dynamic range
add up to vastly expanded shooting
potential.

* Approximately.

Faster, more detailed image processing
The latest high-speed front-end
LSI and updated BIONZ X™ imageprocessing engine provide a dramatic
increase in system speed, plus an
impressive 15-stop dynamic range*
at low-sensitivity settings. Advances
have also been made in Sony’s Detail
Reproduction Technology and Areaspecific Noise Reduction features,

NEW

reducing noise by as much as a full
stop** in the mid sensitivity range.
A sublime blend of high resolution
and low noise is ensured over a wide
sensitivity range, for outstanding
image quality and color accuracy that
are ideal for portraits and landscape
photography.
* Sony test conditions for stills ** Compared to the

Standard 100 ~ 32000 ISO expandable up to 102400*
The standard ISO range has been extended to ISO 100 ~ 32000, expandable* to ISO 50 at the low end and ISO

NEW

102400 at the high end for wide coverage that can capture low-light scenes
with high quality and low noise.
* E xpanded ISO available
for still images only.

16-bit processing and
14-bit RAW output NEW
The digital output from the image
sensor’s AD converter is processed
in 16-bit form by the front-end LSI
and BIONZ X processor before being
output as compressed or uncompressed 14-bit RAW files. The result
is smoother, more natural gradations
that contribute to higher overall image quality. The enhanced image
processing system makes 14-bit RAW
output available even when shooting
in silent or continuous mode.*

A new dimension of
subjective resolution
Still images of art and architecture take on a new dimension of
reality with unprecedented subjective resolution.

Lifelike detail, texture, color, and atmosphere
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting : Superior resolution from 42.4 megapixel RGB information
This new feature takes advantage
of the advanced in-body image
stabilization system control capability available in the 7R III, precisely
shifting the sensor in 1-pixel increments to capture four pixel-shifted
images containing a total of approx-

imately 169.6 million pixels* that are
later composited using a computer
to achieve overwhelming subjective resolution in a single image. Still
images are captured with true-tolife details, texture, and color, with
minimal moiré and color artifacts.

NEW

Even the atmosphere of the subject
and surroundings are reproduced
with breathtaking fidelity, making
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting an ideal
technology for archival images of
art, architecture, and more.

* Image size after compositing is approx. 42.4 million (7952 x 5304) pixels.
Notes A dedicated software application is required for compositing. Image compositing
may not be successful if camera or subject movement causes blur. The use of a tripod is recommended, as is the use of PC tethered control or a remote commander
(when PC tethered control is not being used) where possible. Uncompressed RAW
and silent mode are automatically selected for Pixel Shift Multi shooting. Some
restrictions apply to flash and other devices. Refer to the Sony support site for
details.
http://www.sony.net/psms/

The Pixel Shift Multi Shooting principle
In a “normal” digital capture each pixel represents just
one color: red, green, or blue. The surrounding pixels
are used to supply the necessary extra information
required to interpolate and reproduce the remaining
two primary colors. Pixel Shift Multi Shooting, however,
composites four pixel-shifted images so that each of the
sensor’s 42.4 million effective pixels can represent red,
green, and blue values simultaneously. Extra interpolation becomes unnecessary so the data from the sensor
can be directly synthesized to recreate the final colors.
The result is unprecedented reproduction accuracy and
detail for true-to-life textures. Images shot using this
feature can be processed using the dedicated PC software from Sony running on a personal computer.

The VG-C3EM Vertical Grip makes shooting in vertical
orientation just as efficient and comfortable as horizontal
orientation with a full complement of essential controls, including a duplicate Multi-Selector. The grip shape is identical to the grip on the camera body, so no hold adjustment is
required. The VG-C3EM features a magnesium alloy exterior
for high rigidity and durability, and the design is dust and
moisture resistant*2 for maximum reliability.
The VG-C3EM not only provides space for two NP-FZ100
rechargeable battery packs, significantly extending operating time, but it also allows the batteries to be charged via
the camera USB connector so the batteries don’t have to be
removed from the grip.

In addition to supplying power, the NPA-MQZ1K also
functions as rapid charger, Four NP-FZ100 batteries can be
charged to 90% level in approximately 480 minutes.

*1 Simultaneous use with LE-EA2 or LA-EA4 mount adaptor not
supported due to narrow clearance between mount adapter and
vertical grip.
*2 Not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.

*1 With the supplied AC adaptor. NP-FW50 charging not supported.
*2 N P-FW50 compatible cameras: 7/7 II/7R/7R II/7S/7S II/6500/
