Power in Every Frame
The Sony a7 V is a hybrid mirrorless camera that combines strong photo performance with robust video recording capabilities. It incorporates the latest AI-based subject recognition and autofocus technology from its flagship models, making it ideal for high-speed action photography, daily vlogs, and comprehensive multimedia coverage.
New Partially Stacked Sensor and Upgraded Processing
33MP Exmor RS CMOS Full-Frame Sensor
The a7 V features a 33MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor, which is the first Sony camera to utilize a partially stacked design. This allows for faster readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter effects compared to the a7 IV. The sensor supports advanced subject recognition and tracking, faster continuous shooting, and improved image quality with 16 stops of dynamic range. It has a native ISO range of 100-51200 and a top electronic shutter speed of 1/16,000 seconds.
BIONZ XR2 Processor
The new BIONZ XR2 processor enhances speed and performance, incorporating an AI unit for improved autofocus, color accuracy, and consistent auto white balance. It enables blackout-free 30 fps continuous shooting with full-time AF and AE, as well as 7K-oversampled 4K 60p video recording.
Pre-Capture & Speed Boost
- Pre-Capture: The camera can start recording images to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed, allowing users to save images taken just before the shutter is fully pressed.
- Speed Boost: This feature allows users to switch to a faster continuous shooting frame rate, up to 30 fps, for capturing the perfect moment.
Selectable Raw File Types and Composite RAW Function
- Options for compressed HQ raw, lossless compressed raw, and a new lightweight raw format for different priorities.
- Extended raw file processing via the Imaging Edge desktop app.
- The Composite RAW function allows capturing and compositing multiple files to produce HDR images with reduced noise.
5-Axis Image Stabilization
The upgraded in-body image stabilization system compensates for up to 7.5 stops of camera shake, providing improved control and communication between the camera body and lens.
Upgraded AF and AI Subject Recognition
The autofocus system features 759 points covering about 94% of the sensor area, with improved subject tracking and detection, particularly for animals and birds.
- AI Processing Unit for intelligent subject tracking and detection.
- Human pose estimation for accurate focus in portrait and sports settings.
- Real-time Tracking benefits from AI-based subject recognition.
Video Recording
- 7K Oversampled 4K Recording: UHD 4K 60p recording with full pixel readout for sharpness.
- Recording Flexibility: Extended recording times with efficient heat dissipation and support for internal 24-bit audio recording.
- Dynamic Active stabilization for steady footage during handheld shooting.
Advanced Color Control
- S-Cinetone for natural skin tones and mid-tones.
- S-Log3 for a dynamic range of 15+ stops.
- Import LUTs via Creators Cloud for accurate monitoring.
Body Design and Connectivity
- 3.68m-Dot EVF and 4-Axis Multi-Angle LCD for versatile viewing.
- Full-size HDMI A port and dual USB-C ports for connectivity.
- Weather-sealed magnesium alloy chassis for durability.
Connectivity
- Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC for easy sharing and remote control.
- Bluetooth for location data acquisition.
- Supports 4K webcam use and internal recording during live streaming.
