About This Camera

About Sony Alpha a7 VFEATURED REVIEWSSony A7VBy JESUS O.Upgrading to the Sony a7 V has been a good move. I've always loved the 33MP resolution but the new partially stacked sensor makes everything feel incredibly snappy. The standout for me is the blackout-free 30fps burst shootingA worthy upgrade!By BRYAN T.I bought my A7IV when it was released and loved it. My photography has stepped up so much in the short time I've had this camera. I cannot recommend it enough!- Alpha a7 V Mirrorless Camera -Full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensorAn enhanced partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor features 33.0 megapixels and high-speed circuitry above and below the sensing layer. Readout is approximately 4.5x faster providing a maximum shutter speed of 1/16000 sec., blackout-free bursts at up to 30 fps with full AF/AE tracking, and video recording at 4K 120p. It delivers up to an unprecedented 16 stops of dynamic range with smooth gradations.BIONZ XR2 with integrated AI processing unitThe BIONZ XR2 processing engine which integrates the AI processing unit of the latest a series delivers vast improvements in image and sound quality, and overall operation. It incorporates AI-based Real-time Recognition AF7 and Real-time Tracking, plus accurate, stable color reproduction. In an upgrade from its predecessor, the a7 V includes a lightweight RAW format, while user interface, networking, and file management functions have all been refined.Excellent image qualityThe new 33.0 effective megapixels sensor and BIONZ XR2 processing engine deliver up to 16 stops of dynamic range. Smooth gradations from shadows to highlights enable highly effective HDR processing when needed, and effective noise reduction applied at all sensitivities achieves high resolution throughout the ISO 100-51200 still and movie range.Deep learning-based light source estimationEnjoy improved auto white balance (AWB) performance, thanks to deep learning technology for light source color estimation. The a7 V offers more accurate, stable white balance in settings that can be challenging for conventional AWB systems, such as those that include a mix of skin tones, vegetation, shade and more.Composite RAW supportComposite RAW shooting captures multiple RAW images that can be composited on a computer. The enhanced [NR Shooting] setting produces low-noise images while maintaining high resolution even at mid to high sensitivities. [Shooting for HDR] captures high dynamic range, with options for the simultaneous capture of 4, 8, or 16 images at 30 fps.Extended RAW Processing offers enhanced RAW developmentThe Imaging Edge Desktop application now includes an Extended RAW Processing feature that allows you to take full advantage of the large amount of information in RAW image files for enhanced RAW development, particularly with moving subjects. Use the [Extended NR] for extremely low noise while maintaining full resolution or try [Extended Hi-Res] for 4x the normal pixel count and reduced noise.5-axis optical stabilizationAn advanced optical stabilization unit, gyro sensors, and an enhanced algorithm accurately detect and correct image shake. Up to 7.5-step central and 6.5-step peripheral stabilization allow handheld shooting with no need to boost sensitivity. Use compatible lenses with built-in stabilization for even more effective shake suppression, including when shooting at telephoto focal lengths.More efficient, lightweight RAW formatA lightweight RAW format achieves high image quality in smaller files that are easier to manage. The [Compressed (HQ)] format provides even greater compression in lightweight RAW files while prioritizing image quality, and the [Compressed] format allows for extended shooting.Real-time Recognition AF: Human pose estimationAI processing in the new BIONZ XR2 processing engine improves recognition by approximately 30% over the a7 IV. Human pose estimation technology uses detailed form and pose data to achieve reliable human eye recognition as well as body and head position, even with challenging subjects. The camera can also recognize multiple subjects, meaning it can pick out and track the desired subject in a group.Real-time Recognition AF: Wider subject recognitionReal-time Recognition AF supports [Human], [Animal], [Bird], [Insect], [Car/Train] and [Airplane] recognition, and an [Auto] mode can automatically detect the subject type. The a7 V offers about 30% improved animal recognition and about 50% improved bird recognition. It now also recognizes the eyes of some grazing and small animals in addition to the eyes, heads, and bodies of dogs, cats, and similarly featured animals.Reliable Real-time TrackingAI-based Real-time Tracking accurately focuses on and tracks the selected subject when the shutter button is half-pressed. If the subject cannot be recognized or subject recognition AF is OFF, Sony's original algorithm processes color, pattern, and spatial data at high speed for reliable focus and tracking. If [Touch Tracking] is engaged, simply touch a subject on the monitor to instantly select it for tracking.High-density 759-point focal plane phase-detection AF759 AF points in a high-density focal plane phase-detection AF system cover approximately 94% of the image area for precise focusing. The BIONZ XR2 engine processes the large amount of data from the image sensor in real time to ensure ideal focus even in challenging situations, such as when shooting small subjects or night scenes.Flexible focus area settingsThe a7 V now offers XS, S, M, L, and XL focus area spot sizes. The XS size can make focusing easier when foreground objects such as branches are in the way. It is also possible to create a custom focus area of a specified size and even a custom vertical aspect ratio, enabling you to optimize focusing for a wide variety of subjects and scenes. Simply set the shape and size via the touch-sensitive monitor.Precise AF in low lightThe latest AF algorithms achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-4.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens) so that AF is precise and reliable even in low light.Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fpsHigh-speed bursts at up to 30 fps with uncompromised AF/AE tracking are now possible when using the electronic shutter, and there is no viewfinder blackout when shooting stills. Up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second mean that you can capture fleeting moments with confidence, even when shooting fast, unpredictable action or portraits where expressions can change in an instant.Pre-Capture for those pre-shutter release momentsCapture that decisive moment, even if it's in the past. With this feature, half-pressing the shutter button to set focus enables the camera to capture a series of images, starting from up to one second before the shutter button is fully deployed.Speed boost for critical action shotsUse one-button Continuous Shooting Speed Boost to temporarily change the continuous shooting speed at any time while shooting a continuous burst-making sure you never miss that key moment. This function is best used when you can roughly predict the timing of the desired shot, and it's now available even while shooting single frames.7K oversampled 4K 60p recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binningThe new BIONZ XR2 processor and Exmor RS sensor enable full pixel readout with no pixel binning when recording full-frame. This allows 3.3x the data required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) to be compressed into spectacularly detailed 4K 60p images with minimal moire and jaggies.A woman shooting a movie In-camera audio noise reductionThe Audio Noise Reduction function digitally reduces continuous noise. Working with the camera's built-in microphone and external microphones, this function can dramatically reduce wind noise and other continuous environmental noise, including mechanical noise from a power zoom lens.- FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens -A versatile full-frame 28-70 mm zoom for compact alpha bodiesThis small, light, full-frame zoom lens covers 28-70 mm with minimal change in lens length.
