Sony A7R VI + FE 100-400mm F/4.5 GM OSS

Sony A7R VI + FE 100-400mm F/4.5 GM OSS

This bundle includes the Sony A7R VI and the 100-400mm f/4.5 lens.

Sony A7R VI

The Sony A7R VI combines 66.8 MP with 30 fps burst shooting in a single camera. For this, Sony developed a new Exmor RS Stacked CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR2 processor with an integrated AI unit. The result is a full frame mirrorless camera that lets you capture both the highest resolution and fast action, without having to choose.

Uncompromising resolution

The 66.8 MP Exmor RS Stacked CMOS sensor has a high readout speed, which strongly reduces rolling shutter and makes 30 fps burst shooting in 14-bit RAW possible. With 16 stops of dynamic range and Dual Gain, detail is retained in the shadows, even in backlight or high-contrast situations. Pixel Shift delivers images of up to 270 MP for large-format prints and reproduction work where no detail can be lost. The new RAW compression system offers three levels: Lossless Comp, Compressed HQ and Compressed, so you can choose the right balance between image quality and storage space for each assignment.

Flagship-level continuous shooting

The A7R VI achieves 30 fps in 14-bit RAW with the electronic shutter, blackout-free. That is more than four times faster than its predecessor, giving you enough frames to capture the decisive moment, even during fast action. With the mechanical shutter, you shoot at 10 fps in 14-bit. AF/AE calculations run up to 60 times per second, keeping focus and exposure accurate in every frame, even when your subject suddenly changes direction. Pre-Capture buffers up to 1 second before the shutter is released, so you capture images you would otherwise have missed. With Continuous Speed Boost, you switch seamlessly between 15 and 30 fps, saving storage space during calmer moments and instantly switching to full speed when the critical action starts. The 5-axis IBIS has been improved to 8.5 stops in the centre and 7 stops at the edge, allowing you to capture sharp handheld images at 66.8 MP in situations where a tripod was previously needed.

Advanced AI autofocus

Real-time Recognition AF+ recognises people, animals, birds, insects and vehicles, and instantly locks onto the right subject. With people, the system recognises not only the person as a whole, but also separate parts: eye, face, head and body, so you can focus precisely on the right person, even in a group. If the subject briefly leaves the frame, the system immediately picks it up again as soon as it becomes visible. The new AUTO mode automatically selects the recognition type, which is useful when you do not know in advance what will appear in front of the lens. With 759 phase-detection points, the AF also performs well in low light.

8K video with professional audio

For video, the A7R VI supports 8K 30p and 24p (8.2K oversampling) and 4K 120p across the full sensor width, all in 10-bit 4:2:2 All-Intra. This gives you maximum flexibility in post-production, without the compression artefacts of long-GOP formats. In Super 35, you shoot 4K 60p and 4K 120p. Dual Gain ensures shadows in dark scenes retain rich detail where other cameras show noise. LUT import and monitor LUT display the grade directly on screen during recording, so you can already assess the final look on set. For stable handheld footage, use Dynamic Active IBIS. Breathing Compensation compensates for unwanted lens movement during focus changes and Auto Framing automatically keeps the subject in frame, ideal for vloggers and interviewers working solo. The new XLR-A4 XLR adapter delivers 32-bit float at 96 kHz in four channels, separately from the video track. Thanks to 32-bit float, you no longer need to adjust your gain: you can correct clipping afterwards in the edit. The internal microphone has adjustable wind and noise reduction.

A completely redesigned system

The new OLED viewfinder has 9.44 million dots and 0.9x magnification, providing a large and clear view, and is around 3 times brighter than that of its predecessor, a noticeable difference outdoors in sunlight. The colour range is DCI-P3 with HDR display mode, so what you see in the viewfinder matches the final result after grading. The 4-axis LCD touchscreen tilts and rotates in every direction, ideal for shooting from unusual angles. The new NP-SA100 battery of 2670 mAh offers around 17% more capacity than the NP-FZ100, delivering approximately 600 shots per charge via the viewfinder or 710 via the LCD. Charging to 80% takes around 55 minutes via USB-C (PD 45 W), so you can add enough capacity during a short break. Battery Health Check monitors the battery status on the camera and charger, so you are not caught off guard in the field. The two USB Type-C ports offer USB 3.2 Gen 2 for fast data transfer and USB 2.0 for power. Both card slots are dual-format CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II. The magnesium body is dust- and splash-resistant, the grip is deeper for use with heavy lenses and illuminated buttons also work in the dark. The Σ-shaped graphite cooling chamber keeps the temperature under control during uninterrupted 8K recordings of up to 120 minutes. The camera supports Sony's Camera Authenticity Solution, including the C2PA standard, which makes it possible to verify that an image was captured with a camera and not generated by AI.

Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM OSS

Meet Sony's professional 100-400mm zoom without compromise. With a constant f/4.5 aperture, four XD Linear Motors for 3x faster autofocus with 50% better focus tracking, and an internal zoom design weighing just 1,840g, this is the ideal lens for wildlife, sports and photojournalism. Never miss a decisive moment again, from unpredictable birds to lightning-fast athletes.

Always the right exposure at every focal length

The FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM OSS is the only lens in its class with a constant f/4.5 aperture across the entire zoom range. That means no exposure shift when zooming, consistent shutter speeds when tracking fast-moving subjects, and smooth bokeh across the full 100mm to 400mm zoom range. For sports photographers working in changing light conditions, or nature photographers who need to react at lightning speed to unexpected movement, the constant aperture is a crucial advantage over lenses with a variable zoom.

Never miss a decisive moment again

Four XD Linear Motors and advanced control algorithms deliver autofocus speed up to three times faster than previous models, with approximately 50% better tracking performance. The floating focus groups are controlled with extreme precision, keeping the subject sharp even during unpredictable movement. In combination with the Sony Alpha 9 III, the lens supports AF tracking when shooting at up to 120 fps, making it exceptionally suitable for capturing birds in flight, sprinting athletes or other fast action moments where there is no room for maybes.

Shoot all day without fatigue

The internal zoom ensures that the length of the lens remains the same at 100mm as it does at 400mm, keeping the centre of gravity constant and the lens perfectly balanced on a tripod or in the hand. With a weight of approximately 1,840g, the lens is relatively light. For photographers working long days on location, both on a tripod and handheld, this means less fatigue and more freedom of movement. The internal design also prevents dust from being drawn in while zooming, which is essential when shooting outdoors in challenging conditions.

From 100mm to 800mm, without changing lenses

The lens is fully compatible with the Sony SEL14TC (1.4x) and SEL20TC (2.0x) teleconverters, extending the effective range to 140-560mm and 200-800mm respectively. Crucially, the full G Master image quality is maintained when using teleconverters, something that is not the case with many other lenses. This effectively makes the FE 100-400mm F4.5 GM OSS a versatile system that adapts to a wide range of shooting situations with a single lens body, without having to change lenses and without missing valuable moments.

Built for the toughest conditions

For professionals working in demanding environments, the lens offers a built-in security slot, suitable for using a security cable in press zones, stadiums and fixed shooting positions. All buttons and rings are sealed for a robust dust- and moisture-resistant construction, so the lens continues to perform reliably even in harsh weather conditions. In addition, the front element has a fluorine coating that repels contamination and is easy to clean, helping to safeguard durability and image quality over the long term.

Change filters in seconds, without removing the lens

The lens features a rear drop-in filter option, allowing ND filters, polarising filters or other filter types to be changed quickly and easily without removing the lens from the camera. For sports and nature photographers who need to switch quickly between situations with rapidly changing light conditions, this is a significant practical advantage. A large front filter is impractical and expensive on a lens of this size; the drop-in solution offers a professional and affordable alternative that fits into a fast on-location workflow.
