The Key Setting

The A7IV's 33MP sensor provides a meaningful resolution advantage over 24MP bodies for real estate — more detail in textures, fixtures, and views, plus more latitude for perspective correction in post. Use the "Electronic Level" in the viewfinder (assign to a custom button) to keep verticals perfectly straight. Enable "Focus Magnifier" to check critical focus on distant architectural details. For rooms with bright windows and darker interiors, use the A7IV's "DRO/Auto HDR" setting — "DRO Lv5" will automatically lift shadows while preserving highlights, giving a balanced JPEG straight out of camera. For maximum quality, bracket manually and blend later.

Sony FE 16‑35mm f/2.8 GM II
The standard professional real estate lens. Ultra‑wide zoom covers tight interiors and sweeping exteriors. Constant f/2.8 gathers plenty of light for bright natural settings, and the sharp optics resolve every detail.
Sony FE 12‑24mm f/2.8 GM
For very small rooms or dramatic perspectives. An extremely wide zoom that makes compact spaces feel expansive. Cannot accept standard screw‑on filters, but delivers unmatched width and distortion control.

"The A7IV is a documentarian's camera. In real estate, it documents spaces with fidelity. Let its resolution and dynamic range do the work. You simply frame the truth."
