a7 II Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

World’s first 5-axis in-body image stabilization in a full-frame camera.

Reduce blur caused by camera shake from five different directions—vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw and roll—as opposed to only two in previous systems. The 5-axis image stabilizing system excels during video recording and even compensates for blur caused by the photographer walking or running. It’s a true marvel of engineering.
