You choose which settings are carried over when you switch modes or program certain settings to be separate in these modes. Sony also designed a new sub-dial just below the mode dial that switches quickly from photo, video and S&Q modes (short for slow and quick modes that let you record timelapses or slow motion videos in-camera). The fully-articulating screen comes in clutch for those awkward shooting angles.
It’s so large and bright that it feels like what you see is pretty much the shot you’re gonna get when you click the shutter. The OLED viewfinder is equally as fantastic. For really tight shots that are low to the ground, you can pop out the screen around 45 degrees instead of having to bend around awkwardly to see what your shot looks like. It’s more versatile than the weird pop-out screen on the a7 III and can rotate 180 degrees to face you for easier vlogging or selfie-taking. The fully articulating display is one of the biggest improvements on the a7 IV.
SONY A7 MANUAL
The joystick and wheel buttons are particularly tactile and let me rapidly scroll through my burst shots when reviewing or adjusting the manual focus point. The a7 IV’s grip is really secure and comfy in my smaller hands and all the buttons feel like they’re in the right spot, especially the record button that’s been moved to near the shutter button. The menu is bright and straightforward to navigate with its categorized settings. We only include products that have been independently selected by Input's editorial team. Input may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. But, it still fills an important role as the happy medium between the two more specialized cameras. The a7 IV and its jack-of-all-trades build is no match for the 61-megapixel photos of the a7R IV and is outclassed by the 4K120p video recording capabilities of the a7S III.
SONY A7 SERIES
There’s an Alpha camera for every type of creative, but the a7 series is meant to do it all. Sony doesn’t match the industry legacy of Canon, Nikon, or Fujifilm, but it has played a huge role in popularizing mirrorless cameras through its Alpha lineup. Over the years, Sony carved out a name for itself as one of the best mirrorless camera companies it sold the most mirrorless cameras in 2021 according to NPD Group. With some crucial tweaks and quality-of-life improvements, Sony has made the a7 IV a worthy heir for the title of best hybrid camera out there. The predecessor came out more than four years ago in spring 2018, but still holds its place as one of the best entry-level full-frame cameras that can shoot photos as well as it can capture video. When Sony released the a7 IV in December, it had huge shoes to fill following the lasting success of its a7 III.
