Soft Skin Effect 

The α7 IV's built-in Soft Skin Effect makes skin look bright and beautiful, softening wrinkles, blemishes and dull-looking areas while adding emphasis to the eyes and mouth. This feature is available for still shots, movies and live streaming.

Share your still images and movies immediately

The α7 IV is designed to make sharing easy, so you can share your fresh images, and your vision, with the world immediately.

This feature lets you transfer still-image and movie files to a specified remote FTP server via wireless LAN, high-speed wired LAN (via a compatible USB-Ethernet adaptor cable to the camera’s USB Type C® port), or a USB-tethered smartphone. 

Improvements in selection and editing workflow 

The α7 IV incorporates a number of individual improvements to image selection and editing, adding up to smoother overall workflow that allows large amounts of data to be efficiently managed.
