Sony Alpha a7S II

The Sony Alpha a7S II is an ultra-sensitive, full-frame E-mount mirrorless camera and the predecessor to the Sony Alpha a7S III. Key features include:

Excellent low-light performance and color accuracy
5-axis image stabilization
Updated autofocus system
Uncompressed 4:2:2 UHD 4K video output

What’s Changed. Sony has essentially taken the groundbreaking a7S and added the best features found on the a7R II. Notable additions are 5-axis image stabilization, internal 4K capture, and improved ISO and AF performance. Looking for an update to this camera? Check out the Sony Alpha a7S III.

12.2MP Full-Frame Exmor Sensor and BIONZ X Image Processor. While it’s technically the same sensor, Sony tweaked the sensor and processor for even better ISO performance. The a7SII features a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-102,400 (expandable to ISO 50-409,600).

Internal 4K Recording with Full Pixel Readout. The a7SII can record internal 4K video at 24/25/30 fps @ 100Mbps. Nearly as impressive is Full HD 1080p capture that tops out at 120 fps @ 100Mbps. Internally recorded video is in 8-bit 4:2:0, while clean HDMI outputs uncompressed 4:2:2 UHD 4K to an external recorder.

Advanced Video Features. The a7S II supports the S-Log3 gamma curve, which extends dynamic range up to 14 stops.

5-Axis Image Stabilization. Like the a7II and a7RII, the a7S II includes built-in 5-axis image stabilization, which offers up to 4.5 stops of correction to any lens mounted. This includes angular shake (pitch and yaw), shift shake (X and Y axes), and rotational shake (roll). When using an E-mount lens that already features OSS, the two systems will work cooperatively for maximum stabilization.

Improved Autofocus System. The a7S II’s autofocus system provides improved accuracy and performance over its predecessor. For video and legacy-lens users, the manual focus peaking enables highly visible and accurate operation and can be optimized for full-frame or APS-C format shooting modes.

Other Notable Features.

High build quality with dust and moisture sealing and an all-metal lens mount.
Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC capability for connecting to smart devices.
Option to remotely control the camera via USB.
Silent shutter mode.
It records its 14-bit RAW images, JPEGs, and video files to SDHC/XC memory cards, and uses the rechargeable NP-FW50 battery that’s rated for 340 shots per charge.

Please note:

Recording 100 Mbps 4K internally requires a U3 SDXC memory card.

Recording HD video in the XAVC S codec requires an SDXC memory card. In other words, a card that is 64GB or larger.

Ryan's Take

Senior Video Tech

While I know people are accomplishing some incredible work with the A7S II, I still hesitate to recommend it to video customers because of the high possibility of technical issues. We’ve had enough...

Q & A

Are there any known issues with this camera?

The nature of shooting video on a large-sensor, small-bodied mirrorless camera like the A7SII is that hot pixels and overheating are common and unavoidable. We’re happy to help you try to troubleshoot either of these problems in the field, but if you want to avoid them entirely, your best choice is a dedicated video camera like the Sony FS5.

Does this rental include the manual, USB cable, or software?

This rental doesn’t include the USB cable or software, however, a digital form of the manual can be found in the Resources section to the right.

Can the a7S II record 4K footage in-camera?

Yes. This camera is capable of recording internal 4K UHD, up to 30p when used with a lens that supports full frame coverage.

Can I use UHS-II memory cards with the a7S II?

Due to numerous compatibility issues, we strongly advise against using UHS-II memory cards.
