Amar says, “The conditions and the flow of photography differ from dance form to dance form. That is where a camera like Sony Alpha 7R IV comes in very handy.

Increased Eye AutoFocus
Amar says, “The conditions and the flow of photography differ from dance form to dance form. That is where a camera like Sony Alpha 7R IV comes in very handy.

Improved dynamic range
Talking about the dynamic range, he says, “The Sony Alpha 7R IV’s advanced detail reproduction technology and 15-stop-dynamic range meant excellent performance in challenging light conditions. Additionally, the 4D focus allowed me to focus (on) and freeze fast movements.”
Better Megapixels
Describing the megapixel resolution of the camera, he says, “No matter what the condition was, the camera allowed me to throw light on the art and the artist. Sony Alpha 7R IV’s 61-megapixel resolution was a boon for me as it let me experiment with the compositions even after cropping. I am still amazed that it can retain so much sharpness.”
