The A7R II receives a 5-axis image stabilisation system from the A7 II . Sony’s A7R II can also shoot and record 4K videos in multiple formats including 35mm and full-frame format. It also features an XGA OLED Tru-Finder with a viewfinder magnification of 0.78x. The A7R II is an NFC enabled camera with Wi- Fi compatibility.
