Sony A7 IV + 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS

The Sony A7 IV + 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS is a kit with a 33 megapixel full frame mirrorless camera and a lightweight 654 gram super telephoto zoom. The camera shoots photos at up to 10fps and records 4K video, while the 100-400mm lens brings distant subjects up close.

Sony A7 IV

The Sony A7 IV is a full frame mirrorless camera for both photography and videography. The 33 megapixel Exmor R sensor and the BIONZ XR processor deliver high image quality, even in low light. Thanks to the colour technology and creative modes, you get vivid, true-to-life colours in your own personal style.

For autofocus, the A7 IV uses real-time tracking and real-time eye detection. This eye detection works for people, animals and birds, in both photo and video, and you can follow moving animals effortlessly while shooting or filming. You shoot at up to 10fps and the buffer clears quickly, so you keep capturing the action.

The electronic viewfinder has 3.69 million dots and the touchscreen is fully articulating. For stability and comfort, the camera has 5-axis in-body image stabilisation. You operate the menu via the touchscreen and use a dial to switch between photo, video and S&Q. You can fit two memory cards in the body: one slot also accepts CFexpress Type A cards.

Filming with the A7 IV

As a videomaker, you can do a lot with the A7 IV. You film in 4K up to 30p across the full width of the sensor, with 7K oversampling and no pixel binning, and in 4K 60p in Super 35 mode. Recording in 10-bit 4:2:2 with the S-Cinetone and S-Log3 picture profiles gives you plenty of room when editing. In the menu you save your own settings, such as your exposure and the picture profile you film in.

In video too, the real-time autofocus follows moving subjects and the eyes of people and animals. The A7 IV also offers focus breathing compensation, a digital audio interface in the Multi Interface Shoe for compatible microphones and a heat dissipation structure, handy for long recording sessions. The record button sits on top of the body, so you can start and stop recording easily.

Always connected

Via USB-C (USB 3.2), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you transfer photos and videos quickly and share them right away. You can also use the A7 IV as a streaming camera: via USB you stream live in 4K 15p or Full HD 60p, without a capture card.

Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS

The Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS puts super telephoto range within reach of every photographer. The lens weighs 654 grams, so you carry a long telephoto range without your backpack getting much heavier. That makes it well suited to wildlife, bird and travel photography.

With the Sony 1.4x and 2x teleconverters (SEL14TC and SEL20TC), you extend the range to 560mm or even 800mm. The adjustable focus limiter is handy when you shoot through a fence or another obstacle, for example at the zoo or from the stands at a sports match. The lens then doesn't keep hunting between foreground and background, but stays focused on your subject. The Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation compensates for camera shake, so you keep shooting sharp images handheld, even at maximum telephoto range.

A zoom lock prevents the lens from extending by itself while you walk or travel. The filter thread doesn't rotate, so your polarising or ND filter stays in the same position while focusing and zooming. Thanks to the dust and moisture resistant design, you can keep shooting in changing weather. The rounded nine-blade aperture produces natural, smooth bokeh.
