# Sony

Newer Sony mirrorless cameras are supported out of the box.

Most newer Sony mirrorless cameras record the motion data internally.

That list might not be exhaustive as Sony will probably add the motion data to all their new cameras. In general if the stabilization is available in Sony's *Catalyst Browse* software, Gyroflow should support it too.

## Supported modes

Some recording modes will not store the motion data in files, for example Sony α7S III in 4k/120fps mode doesn't include the motion data.

Gyroflow reads all of the stabilization metadata recorded by the camera, which includes IBIS and OIS data. Therefore, you **can record with IBIS and OIS enabled.** The **Active** and **Dynamic Active** modes are supported as well (Dynamic Active since Gyroflow 1.7.0).

The best option is to use **Standard** stabilization in camera (if your model has IBIS) and add Gyroflow on top of that, because Active and Dynamic Active also crop the image in camera.

All known issues with Sony metadata are fixed since Gyroflow 1.7.0. If your file still doesn't work properly, but does work in Catalyst Browse, submit it in [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow/issues/849).

### Supported OSS Lenses

The list of supported lenses with OSS enabled is available on the [Sony website](https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/function/compatibility.php?fnc=1002\&area=gb\&lang=en\&ref=1). If the link ever stops working, here's the current list as of Oct 2025:

## Zoom lenses

Zoom lenses are supported automatically, and you can zoom in and out throughout the video.

* If you want to smooth out fast zooms, enable **Stabilize focal length** in the Stabilization panel.
* Some lenses report the focal length a few frames late (e.g. some Tamron zooms). If the picture jumps or wobbles during zooms, set **Lens metadata delay** in `Lens profile -> Advanced`, or click **Analyze** next to it to measure it from the zooms in the clip.

Learn more in [🔭 **Advanced usage -> Lens profiles**](/app/advanced-usage/lens-profiles.md#zoom-lenses).

## Lens breathing compensation

Many lenses change the field of view slightly when focusing (this is called focus breathing). Since Gyroflow 1.7.0, Gyroflow can keep the field of view constant while focusing, using the lens breathing data recorded by the camera. That's the case for supported Sony lenses on cameras like the α7 IV, α7C II, α7R V, α6700 and ZV-E1.

When the file contains this data, **Lens breathing compensation** shows up in the Lens profile panel, and it's enabled by default.

## Shutter speed, ND filters and motion blur

You should avoid motion blur when recording, read more why in the [📸 **Common filming tips and issues**](/app/getting-started/common-filming-tips-and-issues.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.gyroflow.xyz/app/getting-started/supported-cameras/sony.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
