The Sony a7S III Mirrorless Camera Starter Kit delivers unmatched low-light capability, advanced 4K performance, high-speed autofocus, and professional-grade dynamic range. Featuring a redesigned 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processor, the a7S III offers UHD 4K recording up to 120p, internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, 16-bit raw output, greatly reduced rolling shutter, faster readout speeds, and optimized performance for filmmakers, hybrid creators, and professionals requiring reliability and uncompromising image quality. This starter kit includes an additional NP-FZ100 battery and a 128GB SD card for extended shooting. A redesigned 12.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor features a back-illuminated Exmor RS design for improved clarity, reduced noise, and exceptional sensitivity with ISO 80–102400 (extended ISO 40–409600). The updated architecture provides up to 2× faster readout speeds and, combined with the BIONZ XR processor, reduces rolling shutter by up to 3× and provides 8× faster overall performance. The sensor and processor combination also enables up to 14 stops of dynamic range for stills and approximately 15 stops for video. Continuous shooting reaches up to 10 fps for up to 1000 uncompressed raw images. UHD 4K recording up to 120p is achieved with full 1:1 pixel readout without binning. Internal 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling is supported in all modes, and 16-bit raw output is available from the full-size HDMI Type A port. The camera supports XAVC HS (H.265), XAVC S, and XAVC S-I ALL-Intra codecs with bitrates reaching 600 Mb/s. High-speed 120 fps enables 4× or 5× slow motion at playback rates of 30p or 24p. Full HD recording extends slow-motion capability up to 240 fps. The camera has no recording time limits and features an enhanced heat-dissipating structure enabling approx. 60 minutes of 4K60p capture. S-Cinetone provides cinematic rendering based on Sony’s Cinema Line. S-Log2 and S-Log3 offer expanded dynamic range, delivering up to 1300% more dynamic range than traditional REC709 for flexible grading. 759 phase-detection points and 425 contrast-detection points cover 92% of the image area. Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF (for humans and animals) ensure stable focus. The AF system is functional in all video modes with sensitivity down to -6 EV. Controls include a seven-step AF Transition Speed and five-step AF Subject Shift Sensitivity. Provides up to 5.5 stops of correction for pitch, yaw, roll, and horizontal/vertical shift. Active IS enhances stabilization for video and handheld workflows. 9.44m-dot resolution, 0.9× magnification, 25mm eye point, 41° field of view, and a 120 fps display mode. A fluorine coating resists smudging and supports easy cleaning. The articulating touchscreen enables flexible high, low, and front-facing shooting positions. The updated menu system improves usability for photo and video operations. Both card slots support CFexpress Type A and SD UHS-II media, allowing overflow, backup, or file-type sorting. The body is fully weather-sealed and features reinforced structural points and an improved grip design for extended comfort. Powered by the NP-FZ100 battery, providing approximately 510 shots with the EVF or 600 shots with the LCD, and up to 95 minutes of continuous video. Includes full-size HDMI A, USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1), micro-USB, headphone and microphone ports, and a Multi Interface Shoe for digital audio (compatible with ECM-B1M & XLR-K3M). Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) enables wireless tethering, remote control, and image transfer. USB-C supports wired LAN adapters for FTP uploading, remote shooting, and high-speed connection to Imaging Edge Mobile.Overview
