a new menu system (compatible with touch sensitivity on the LCD). Other things you’ll find on the A7 IV are: The rear monitor is touch sensitive, has a multi-angle mechanism on both cameras, and includes the possibility of a 180˚ rotation. All the dials can be customised depending on the shooting mode in use, and basic settings such as aperture, ISO and white balance can be set independently for stills and movie mode. The A7 IV also offers more personalisation. The two cameras are weather sealed but materials are a bit different: the A7 IV has magnesium alloy for the front, top and internal frame, whereas the A7C uses the same metal for the top, bottom and rear cover.Ĭoncerning the aesthetics, the A7C can be found in black, or silver/black, whereas the A7 IV comes in one all-dark version only.īecause of the smaller design, the A7C has fewer buttons than the A7 IV: it lacks the front dial, the AF joystick on the rear and the photo/video switch underneath the main shooting dial on top. One of the reasons for the A7 IV larger body is the heat dissipation structure designed to prevent overheating when recording 4K video. The A7C is lighter and more compact than the A7 IV, and the front grip is smaller.
Rather than having the viewfinder stick out on top at the centre, it is found on the left side and incorporated into the main frame of the camera. The design of the A7C is very similar to the A6xxx APS-C series.
