About the Sony Alpha a7 Mark II Body
Sony has released the α7 II (ILCE-7M2), the next in the α7 series of interchangeable-lens models and the world’s first camera with optical 5-axis image stabilisation designed for a full-frame image sensor.
The camera offers outstanding image quality in a compact size and light build, and it carries on the traditions of the α7 series, which includes the world’s smallest and lightest interchangeable-lens full-frame camera (α7R). A 24.3 effective megapixel 35 mm full-frame Exmor® CMOS sensor moves along five axes to compensate for camera shake, providing optical image stabilisation equivalent to up to 4.5 steps faster shutter speed of correction for still images. Shooting sharp handheld stills and video is now possible under conditions that may have required a tripod in the past. In this and other scenarios, users can enjoy beautifully rendered images from the full-frame sensor with the convenience of image stabilisation. In-camera image stabilisation also offers sharper images for those using A-mount lenses on an optional lens adapter.
World’s first full-frame camera with optical 5-axis image stabilisation
Detects and corrects various camera shake along five axes for still images and video, including angular shake (pitch and yaw) that tends to occur when shooting with a telephoto lens, shift shake (along the X and Y axes) that becomes noticeable as photographing magnification increases, and rotational shake (roll) that often affects shots at night or when recording video.
The full-frame image sensor moves to compensate for these kinds of camera shake. For still images, stabilisation is equivalent to up to 4.5 steps faster shutter speed of correction.
Optical 5-axis image stabilisation ideal for a variety of αTM lenses
Handheld low-light shooting at slower shutter speeds becomes possible, allowing for greater creativity and mobility without the need for a tripod. The camera’s in-body image stabilisation is therefore effective even in combination with E-mount lenses without Optical SteadyShot (OSS). For A-mount lenses as well (using an optional mount adapter such as LA-EA4 or LA-EA3), camera shake is compensated for along five axes within the camera body. Users can thus make the most of the beautiful rendering power of various α lenses with the α7 II.
Verify image stabilisation results with live view functionality
Monitor the corrected image in real-time on the camera’s LCD screen or in the OLED viewfinder, thus allowing for fine-tuned framing and focusing even when using a telephoto or macro lens.
Speedy, accurate autofocus with Fast Hybrid AF
Wide AF coverage with the employment of a 117-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor (in combination with a 25-point contrast detection AF points)
117-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor and 25 contrast detection AF points are placed over a wide area of the screen, making use of the superb tracking capabilities of the phase detection AF and therefore enabling clear capture of moving subjects that might otherwise evade focus.
30% faster AF responsiveness
A more advanced algorithm is used to detect the subject position, enabling optimal lens drive. In a variety of scenarios, autofocus is very responsive – 30% faster than in previous models.
1.5 times the tracking ability of previous models4 with an improved motion-prediction algorithm
An improved, original Sony algorithm for the prediction of moving bodies results in a 1.5 times improvement in performance in tracking a subject and predicting its next movement. Additionally, AF and automatic exposure (AE) continue to track the subject during high-speed continuous shooting (up to 5 fps), so that a sudden movement or expression of the subject is never missed. Finally, greatly improved tracking ability and subject capture are made possible through the advances in image analysis technology with “lock-on AF,” a feature that optimizes focusing on the subject in accordance with its size.
Superior image quality and enriched video recording functionalities with the full-frame sensor and BIONZ XTM image processing engine
35 mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor for high resolution and sensitivity, with minimal noise
The camera is equipped with a full-frame Exmor CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.3 effective megapixels. High resolution and larger pixels enhance sensitivity and reduce image noise to release the full potential of lens’ optical performance. Images are rendered beautifully and bokeh effects attainable only with full-frame sensors become possible.
BIONZ X image processing engine for superb detail and natural textures, less noise
Loaded with an advanced BIONZ X image processing engine. The fast processing enabled by this engine enhances images in several ways, through “detail reproduction technology,” which recreates natural-looking textures even in the minute details of an image; “diffraction-reducing technology,” which prevents loss of detail when aperture stopped down; and “area-specific noise reduction,” which greatly reduces noise while maintaining exceptional detail and texture even under low light conditions such as night time and indoors.
Supports high bit rate XAVC-S recording
In addition to recording in AVCHD Ver. 2.0 Full HD (1920×1080) 60p (50p)/60i (50i)/24p, the camera records in XAVC-S, a consumer format derived from the professional XAVC® format. This offers outstanding Full HD video quality at a high bit rate of 50 Mbps. Long GOP compression is used, targeting differences between frames, along with the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec for video. Regarding audio recording, linear PCM is used and files are saved in the MP4 format.
Full-featured video recording that suits professional workflows
Picture profiles enable convenient in-camera tone adjustment. The α7 II also supports the S-Log2 gamma function, which preserves a wide dynamic range, and a wide S-Gamut mode. Other features include Time Code/User Bit (useful in editing), Rec Control (for synced recording with compatible external recorders), marker display/settings, and dual video recording.
Enhanced usability and reliability
Grip shape and height keep the camera steady even when using a large telephoto lens. The shutter button has been shifted toward the front, to a position that feels more natural. This, along with the button’s increased size, helps reduce camera shake. Shooting comfort and convenience were a priority in design. Ten customizable buttons can be assigned to any of 56 functions. The tilting display features a White MagicTM LCD screen for exceptional visibility even under bright sunlight.
Sharp, high-contrast XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ viewfinder for accurate previewing
An XGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder with a 2.36 million dot equivalent resolution and high contrast, enabling faithful reproduction of setting adjustments, fine-tuned focusing using magnified display or peaking features, and bokeh effects. The viewfinder also allows for clear review of previous shots. Because the camera is fully APS-C-compatible, it displays the entire view even when APS-C lenses are used.
Reliability that professionals can appreciate
Sturdy magnesium alloy construction of the top, front cover, and internal structures ensures that the camera is both durable and light. The robust mounting structure easily handles large telephoto lenses, heavy video lenses, and many others.
Main buttons and dials are also sealed to help keep out moisture and dust, and an interlocking double layered construction of media and port covers as well as body seams ensures greater moisture and dust resistance. Overall, the camera is designed to be used by photographers in any number of situations without having to worry about the safety of their cameras.
Quick startup time – 40% faster
After the camera is switched on, it is ready to shoot 40% sooner than current models.
Wi-Fi and NFC enabled for connectivity with mobile devices; support for PlayMemories Camera Apps that allow the camera to evolve even further
- Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity for mobile linking
- Features can be expanded with PlayMemories Camera Apps
By installing an updated Lens Compensation app (enabling the storage of lens information in Exif data, compensation of recorded video, and import/export of lens compensation values), users can manually set correction values for lens peripheral shading, chromatic aberration, and distortion.

High-contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder™The viewfinder offers impressive visibility that contributes to stress-free, intuitive operation. You can accurately monitor what will appear in your final images because it faithfully displays the effects of your various camera settings. Moreover, an advanced 3-lens optical system ensures rich tonal gradation and extremely high contrast.
Detail reproduction technology and diffraction-reducing technologyDetail reproduction technology depicts details more faithfully with a more natural sense of dimension, while diffraction-reducing technology suppresses the effects of diffraction to faithfully reproduce fine details even when shooting at small aperture settings.
S-Log2 gamma settingThis proprietary Sony gamma setting, featured in professional camcorders, creates a 1300% wider dynamic range for smooth expression of gradation with reduced white-out and black-out. Through colour grading in post-production, you can make the most of the low-noise image and super-rich detail to achieve various types of image expression.
Meticulously crafted controlsControls are refined for intuitive operation and immediate adjustment of parameters while viewing scenes through the viewfinder. The front and rear dials have been thoroughly refined and positioned with overall handling in mind to enable easier, more efficient turning. It's a level of refinement that even surpasses that of other α7 series models.
Anti-dust system and coatingTo keep your photos blemish-free, a special anti-static coating on the surface of the optical filter suppresses the attachment of both dry and moist dust particles when changing lenses. An anti-dust mechanism also vibrates at high speed when you select Cleaning Mode to remove any particles adhering to the filter.
Multi Frame NR (Noise Reduction)This mode composites four shots to significantly suppress noise and raise sensitivity, letting you clearly capture dark scenes without a tripod or flash. Camera shake blur is also lowered while contrast and detail are raised.
Automatic optimisation for every α lensConfidently use your favourite E-mount and A-mount lenses, knowing the α7 II will analyse information from the lens to optimise depiction performance and 5-axis image stabilisation for the particular lens you mount. When using E-mount lenses with optical stabilisation (OSS), the α7 II combines the best of in-lens and in-camera image stabilisation.
High-performance Fast Hybrid AF with wide coverage and 30% faster responseThe newly enhanced Fast Hybrid AF system delivers extremely high-speed response, highly accurate prediction and wide area coverage for autofocusing and tracking you can always depend on. Remarkably fast for a full-frame camera AF system, it ensures maximum speed by optimally employing phase-detection or contrast-detection AF depending on the scene.
Pro-quality XAVC S formatFor extremely high image quality and minimal noise, record movies in the high-bit-rate XAVC S format, which was developed based on the professional XAVC 4K/HD format. It enables Full HD (1920 x 1080) image recording at 50Mbps (60p/50p, 30p/25p, 24p)* and employs linear PCM sound for high-quality sound recording.
* NTSC/PAL
Enhanced grip and shutter buttonThe grip is refined in shape and height to support a more secure grasp of the camera even when a large lens is mounted. This also contributes to more confident operation of the shutter button and dials. Moreover, the shutter button has been reshaped and shifted forward to enable more natural shooting with less camera shake.
Stable viewfinder imageMonitor the stabilising effects of camera shake compensation in the viewfinder or LCD screen while shooting still images by pressing the shutter button halfway or magnifying the image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode. Even when using a telephoto or macro lens, you can fine-tune framing and focusing with stress-free stability.
Area-specific noise reductionArea-specific noise reduction selectively divides the image into areas based on patterns (such as edges, textures and flat areas like blue skies), then applies the most appropriate noise reduction for each area to markedly reduce noise and achieve a new level of clarity.
Clean HDMI outputAn HDMI terminal makes it easy to transfer Full HD movie signals in real-time to an external monitor for accurate, large-screen viewing and listening. This feature supports uncompressed movie recording on external recording equipment and lets you output uncompressed movies with the shooting info display function off.
Convenient tiltable LCD screenThe LCD screen tilts upward approx. 107 degrees and downward approx. 41 degrees to accommodate wide-ranging shooting angles. This flexibility combines with compact mobility to greatly expand your shooting options. Viewing is also clear under direct sunlight thanks to WhiteMagic™ technology that nearly doubles the brightness of the display.
Connect to smartphones and tablets with one touch!Instantly transfer a photo or MP4 movie to your Android™ smartphone or tablet by simply touching it with the α7 II—thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and NFC™ (Near Field Communication)*. Touching your mobile device with the camera can also activate Smart Remote Control, which lets you control the camera's shutter release from your smartphone or tablet.
* Requires NFC-compatible Android device.

How to claim
6. Regardless of the type of Product(s) that you are claiming for, please complete your claim online at the following URL: www.sony.co.uk/studentcashback (or www.sony.ie/studentcashback for Republic of Ireland). You will need a My Sony account to submit a claim – if you do not already have a My Sony account, you will be required to create an account.
7. To complete your claim, you will be required to include electronically:
a. The serial number of the Product; and
b. Handheld picture of the serial number on the Product itself; and
c. A copy of your original printed sales receipt/sales invoice clearly showing the name of the retailer, the Product name and date of purchase; and
d. A picture of your student ID card/ badge showing the current year (“2024” / “2025”) with your name or any other kind of personalised proof of university admission for the current year (“2024” / “2025”).
8. In case the proof of purchase mentions an order date that is different from the date that the proof of purchase was issued (invoice date), then the purchase date will be determined solely by reference to the order date. Please note that order confirmations never replace valid invoices. Online order confirmations and handwritten receipts will not be accepted. As an exception, order confirmation containing an order number will be accepted for Very and Littlewoods customers only that are eligible for this promotion. Fake, altered or doctored invoices or receipts will be rejected, and the related claims treated as a fraudulent claim. Sony reserves the right to request additional information and/or supporting documents in order to verify the validity of claims.
9. Claims may only be submitted after thirty (30) days from the date of purchase of the relevant Product(s). Claims submitted before the relevant date will be rejected.
10. All claim forms submitted in respect of the Student Cashback Promotion must be received by midnight (CET) on July 30th 2025. No claims will be accepted after this date.
General Terms applicable to all Cashback applications
11. The Cashback is only available on Sony qualifying new Products which have been supplied and distributed by Sony to its authorised dealers within the UK, Republic of Ireland and Isle of Man (as appropriate). We recommend that you check with your retailer or our list of official retail partners before purchase to ensure that your purchase qualifies under these Terms and Conditions. You can also check on the Sony Student Cashback website specified in section 6 for details of Sony’s authorised dealers. Sony is not responsible for a retailer’s misleading statements in this respect and the final decision as to whether a retailer is authorised rests with Sony. For the avoidance of doubt, Sony will not accept any claims from Amazon & Amazon Marketplace even if the reseller is listed as one of the eligible dealers for this campaign.
12. The Sony Student cashback offer cannot be cumulated with any retailer run promotions, Affiliate partners’ promotions or discounted products (for example UNiDAYS), or other Sony cashback promotions for the Product(s) at the time of purchase. However, the Sony promotions “Extended Warranty” and “Welcome to Alpha” are eligible after purchase and registration of the Product(s) under the Student Cashback offer.
13. A claim for Cashback cannot be made in respect of a Product that is returned to the retailer for a refund. Sony may check serial numbers with retailers to monitor for Product returns. Where cashback has already been paid in respect of a returned Product Sony shall be entitled to recover the relevant amount from you.
14. Each customer is limited to a maximum of two claims per individual model and a maximum of 5 claims in total (for example: if a customer purchases a qualifying camera and also purchases a qualifying kit that includes the same camera model, the customer will be able to claim in respect of both of those purchases).
15. In the event of an incomplete claim, the participant will be informed via email, and he/she will be given a deadline of 14 (fourteen) calendar days in which to resolve any issues and to send the correct and valid document that meets these requirements.
16. Please allow 28 days for receipt of your Cashback once all criteria have been fulfilled; where we are unable to meet this deadline then we will do so as quickly as possible thereafter.
17. The Cashback will be provided in the form of a direct bank transfer provided correct bank details have been submitted and receipt is valid and readable. Claimants will have their Cashback paid in pounds sterling (or Euros for purchases in Republic of Ireland). If you provide bank account details in a country outside the country of purchase, you should check if your bank accepts payments in these currencies and you accept that the amount you receive may vary depending on the local currency and exchange rate at the date of payment. Sony accepts no liability in the event your bank does not accept payment in the relevant currency or for any related bank charges which may apply. Alternative cashback fulfilment is not possible. For a purchase made in the UK, payments will be made to UK bank accounts only.
18. It is necessary to have access to the internet with sufficient broadband speed and download capability in order to complete the claim form. Sony will not be held liable for any technical, hardware, software, server, website or internet connection issues which prevent or otherwise obstruct you from participating in the Promotion.
Miscellaneous terms
19. We reserve the right to withhold and / or refuse payment of the Student Cashback: (i) where we suspect that a claim under this Promotion is false or fraudulent or the claim does not comply with these terms, (ii) where a claim includes a serial number that has been used for a claim under a previous promotion or a previous claim under this promotion, or (iii) to an individual who has submitted a claim under a previous promotion which was fraudulent or otherwise in breach of the terms of such promotion. Sony reserves the right to take legal action against any claimant who deliberately makes a fraudulent claim.
20. We reserve the right to withdraw the Promotion at any time without notice.

You can also check on the Sony Student Cashback website specified in section 6 for details of Sony’s authorised dealers. Sony is not responsible for a retailer’s misleading statements in this respect and the final decision as to whether a retailer is authorised rests with Sony. For the avoidance of doubt, Sony will not accept any claims from Amazon & Amazon Marketplace even if the reseller is listed as one of the eligible dealers for this campaign.
12. The Sony Student cashback offer cannot be cumulated with any retailer run promotions, Affiliate partners’ promotions or discounted products (for example UNiDAYS), or other Sony cashback promotions for the Product(s) at the time of purchase. However, the Sony promotions “Extended Warranty” and “Welcome to Alpha” are eligible after purchase and registration of the Product(s) under the Student Cashback offer.
13. A claim for Cashback cannot be made in respect of a Product that is returned to the retailer for a refund. Sony may check serial numbers with retailers to monitor for Product returns. Where cashback has already been paid in respect of a returned Product Sony shall be entitled to recover the relevant amount from you.
14. Each customer is limited to a maximum of two claims per individual model and a maximum of 5 claims in total (for example: if a customer purchases a qualifying camera and also purchases a qualifying kit that includes the same camera model, the customer will be able to claim in respect of both of those purchases).
15. In the event of an incomplete claim, the participant will be informed via email, and he/she will be given a deadline of 14 (fourteen) calendar days in which to resolve any issues and to send the correct and valid document that meets these requirements.
16. Please allow 28 days for receipt of your Cashback once all criteria have been fulfilled; where we are unable to meet this deadline then we will do so as quickly as possible thereafter.
17. The Cashback will be provided in the form of a direct bank transfer provided correct bank details have been submitted and receipt is valid and readable. Claimants will have their Cashback paid in pounds sterling (or Euros for purchases in Republic of Ireland). If you provide bank account details in a country outside the country of purchase, you should check if your bank accepts payments in these currencies and you accept that the amount you receive may vary depending on the local currency and exchange rate at the date of payment. Sony accepts no liability in the event your bank does not accept payment in the relevant currency or for any related bank charges which may apply. Alternative cashback fulfilment is not possible. For a purchase made in the UK, payments will be made to UK bank accounts only.
18. It is necessary to have access to the internet with sufficient broadband speed and download capability in order to complete the claim form. Sony will not be held liable for any technical, hardware, software, server, website or internet connection issues which prevent or otherwise obstruct you from participating in the Promotion.
