Versatile connectivity

Two XLR/TRS combo jacks and one 3.5 mm stereo mini microphone jack are provided for input. The XLR/TRS combo jacks are switchable for line input, microphone input, or microphone input with 48V phantom power.

Comprehensive control

Comprehensive controllability at the recording stage can greatly facilitate the post processing workflow. Record level (AUTO/MANUAL), record level link (INPUT 1 – INPUT 2), attenuator, and low-cut filter (100/300 Hz) controls are provided.

Mechanical noise suppression

An advanced shock and vibration suppressing design effectively minimises low-frequency handling noise which can degrade audio quality. The option for direct on-camera mounting, without additional connecting cables, further reduces the risk of handling noise ruining your audio capture.

Protection against recording failures

The ECM-W2BT features clear indicator LEDs on the receiver for peace of mind while recording. A LINK lamp shows the status of communication between the microphone and receiver, while a POWER lamp indicates remaining battery charge.

Stable audio recording

Utilising Qualcomm aptX Low Latency Bluetooth, the ECM-W2BT offers improved wireless connectivity with greatly reduced risk of interruptions even in crowded settings. In a location with good visibility without obstacles, communication is possible at up to 200 metres* for ultimate flexibility in recording setups.

Perfectly paired with the ECM-LV1 microphone

The all-black, simple and unobtrusive design of the ECM-LV1 enables distraction-free audio recording, for use with any type of clothing. The clip rotates 360 degrees, which allows it to be positioned anywhere on your clothing.

Target audio recording with shotgun design

The gun mic mode allows the microphone to target and record sound in a specific direction by simply point the microphone toward the source. Zoom mic mode adjusts the audio range to match the video zoom position*.

Simple operation

Powered directly from and controlled by the camera, the ECM-GZ1M delivers fluid and easy operation. Simply attach to a camera with an Active Interface Shoe for instant audio recording.

High-power compact flash

This dramatically downsized compact lightweight clip-on flash with guide number (GN) 45 is best suited to use with the α7 series. The flash supplies powerful output even for bounce lighting, recycling only takes approx. 2.5 seconds , and stamina in performance delivers up to approx. 210 bursts.

High-speed sync (HSS)

Take advantage of higher shutter speeds using High-Speed Sync (HSS). In certain environments, conventional flash units require the shutter speed to be the same, or slower, than the synced-flash speed, forcing the photographer to narrow the aperture to gain correct exposure. This makes it difficult to get pleasing background blur and nice bokeh.

By using HSS, the flash unit can be used when the camera is set to any shutter speed. This allows the full aperture range of the lens for greater background blur and beautiful portraits. Wireless HSS is also possible with compatible cameras.

Bounce head for flexible lighting

HVL-F45RM bounce head for flexible lighting rotates 360° horizontally (180° in both left and right directions) and also tilts 150° upward and 8° downward, providing the illumination you want depending on shooting situations.

Small, powerful, reliable, radio wireless flash

This high-output GN28 flash offers the type of optimised performance and control that only a genuine Sony product can provide. It can be controlled directly from the camera and is small enough to fit in a pocket while offering professional durability as well as wireless radio communication for a wide range of applications.

Comprehensive control from the camera

Flash compensation, light ratio, and other detailed flash parameters can be controlled directly from a compatible camera, and a custom key assignment can allow adjustments to be made while looking through the viewfinder.

Flash control based on face detection

The HVL-F28RM works with the face detection capabilities of compatible cameras to balance flash output with ambient light conditions so that subject's face is rendered with lifelike, accurate skin tones.

Stable radio wireless communication

The HVL-F28RM features stable radio wireless communication. One HVL-F28RM that will function as a commander can be mounted on a compatible camera and paired with other off-camera HVL-F28RM units that will function as a receiver. Slow sync, rear-curtain sync, and multi flash are supported.

Easy operation in vertical orientation

The VG-C4EM provides operational controls nearly the same as those of the camera body. The location, size, and shape of buttons are optimised, using the same material used on the α9 II and α7R IV bodies. As a result, the function, location and operational "feel", of the controls simulates those on the camera body, when the camera is held vertically.

Reliable dust/moisture resistance

The camera-grip attachment features the same sealing material used on the camera body, to keep out dust and moisture. This improves the overall reliability of the camera system.

Effective operating duration doubled

The VG-C4EM can hold one or two NP-FZ100 batteries. When using two batteries, the camera will operate for nearly twice as long as when using one battery. Remaining battery power is indicated on the LCD screen, in 1% increments. When one battery expires, the camera automatically switches to the other, allowing continuous operation.

Light yet durable magnesium alloy body

The exterior of the VG-C4EM is made of the same magnesium alloy that is used in the 4th Gen full-frame Alpha bodies, to provide the same rigidity as the cameras themselves yet keep the overall weight and bulk to a minimum.
