200DL Underwater Housing for Sony Alpha a7R IV Mirrorless Cameras

The Sony Alpha a7R IV is a pleasure to shoot with 5-axis image stabilization and a powerful hybrid autofocus system. Images are captured using a brand new 61-megapixel full frame BSI-CMOS sensor. Sony advertises the camera as having 15 stops of dynamic range for vivid color gradations and detailed image capture. For videographers, the a7R IV is capable of oversampled 4K/30p video with real-time eye AF.

Compared to previous models, Sony gave the IV a much deeper grip and redesigned and repositioned the controls for better topside ergonomics. These changes prevent the IV from operating in housings made for earlier models.

The camera’s CIPA battery life is 670 shots using the LCD or 530 using the electronic viewfinder.
