Alpha a7S mkII + FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS Lens
Full Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
The a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera from Sony is built to impress with its sensitivity, dynamic range, resolution, speed and multimedia capabilities. Featuring a full-frame 12.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor, the a7S II is capable of internal UHD 4K recording at 30 fps with full pixel readout as well as 1080p recording at up to 120 fps, in the XAVC S format. A BIONZ X image processor combined with this full frame sensor offers expanded sensitivity to ISO 409600 and 5 fps continuous shooting with fast intelligent autofocus and low-light sensitivity to -4 EV. 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization is also included to compensate for vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw, and roll camera movements.A redeveloped recording setup includes the ability to utilize S-Log3 Gamma and S-Gamut3 in addition to S-Log2, for increasing dynamic range values by up to 1300% to better match high-end post-production workflows. For clearer monitoring potential, an enhanced Zebra function better supports working with S-Log gamma settings and a Gamma Display Assist helps to preview imagery with natural contrast by converting S-Log2 and S-Log3 settings to the ITU709 gamma for easier on-camera viewing.
This is housed inside a compact robust magnesium alloy body that incorporates a high 0.78x-magnification Tru-Finder OLED electronic viewfinder. With a resolution of 2.36-million dots and a Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating, it remains easy to view even in a variety of lighting conditions and is capable of previewing exposure and settings adjustments prior to recording. A rear 3.0" 1,228,800-dot tilting LCD screen is also available. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC is also included, allowing you to pair mobile devices to the camera for wireless sharing and remote camera control.
Here the a7S II is kitted with the FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens from Sony, a telephoto lens for full-frame E-mount cameras, ideal for sports, wildlife and action photographers. It is also compatible with APS-C models where it will provide a 150-600mm equivalent focal length range. As part of Sony's G Master series, it is designed to achieve high resolution and sharpness by targeting and correcting a variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations.
The optical design uses one Super ED and two ED elements for increased clarity and colour fidelity, as well as Nano AR Coating to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting. A floating elements system benefits image quality when working at the 98 cm minimum focusing distance with 0.35x magnification. This is complimented by a rounded nine-blade diaphragm to produce attractive out of focus 'bokeh' areas.
A Direct Drive SSM system and internal focus mechanism provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and also contributes to more natural, intuitive manual focus control. The lens is also equipped with Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation to minimise the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld imagery when working with slower shutter speeds. This stabilisation system can also be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilisation for more effective control of camera blur.
The lens is completed with a robust and intuitive physical design that includes a zoom torque adjustment ring that lets users dial in the stiffness of the zoom mechanism, and a focus range limiter switch for faster focusing. It also features multiple customisable focus hold buttons, an AF/MF switch, and a removable and rotatable tripod mount. It is finished with a dust- and weather-resistant construction with a fluorine-coated front lens element to help prevent smudges and dust from adhering to the glass surface.
The FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens is also compatible with Sony's optional 1.4x and 2x FE teleconverters for reaching distances of up to 800mm.
