The footage makes the a7S II the world&#8217;s first\u00a0commercial camera to be mounted outside of the International Space Station (ISS) used to capture video in 4K. The videos showcase the Japanese islands from outer space with footage taken during day and night, showing off its majestic snow-covered peaks and metropolitan lights right down to the differences in colour tone. These were able to be captured by virtue of the \u03b17S II&#8217;s high sensitivity performance as well as high resolution 4K recording capability.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-108470 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/a7s-ii-630x215.png\" alt=\"a7S ii\" width=\"630\" height=\"215\" \/>\n<p>The a7S II, which was installed back on 8 February, 2017, was chosen for the exterior platform on ISS&#8217;s Japanese Experiment Module (KIBO), due to its sensor, 4K-video capabilities, durability and reliability. Sony announced in a statement: &#8220;As a result of various tests conducted by JAXA, it was confirmed that the \u03b17S II possesses the durability and reliability to withstand the unique and unforgiving environment of outer space, including high vacuum, cosmic radiation, and abrupt temperature fluctuations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sample content taken outside of the ISS can be viewed at the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sony.com\/electronics\/a7sii-4k-images-kibo-iss\">\u03b1 Universe<\/a>&#8221; official site. The English site also includes the footage of the East coast of the United States by night.<\/p>\n<p>From 400 km above the surface of the earth, the exterior mounted \u03b17S II completes an orbit around the planet approximately once every 90 minutes, recording a variety of 4K videos and still images from outer space. Watch the video above to see the truly awe-inspiring footage captured by the a7S II.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony&#8217;s full-frame mirrorless a7S II is being used to
