Your pictures deserve the perfect frame

Install up to 4 custom gridlines with our Alpha functional license*.

If you need to compose multiple shots quickly, consistently, and reliably, Sony has the perfect solution. Now you can register and load up to 4 custom gridlines onto select Alpha mirrorless full frame cameras. And you can make the gridlines visible in the electronic viewfinder, the LCD or on an external monitor via HDMI® output. No need for LCD overlays to get that perfect image.

Our custom gridline license is perfect for school photos, athlete pictures, cruise ships, photo IDs, theme parks and more. Create them as PNG files and replace them as needed. You can even choose gridline colors, for example magenta to contrast with hair color. Supported cameras include the α7 IV with more on the way. At $149, this may be the most cost-effective camera accessory ever.
