A7RV Full-Frame Camera

The Evolution of Resolution

The α7R V introduces a new, dedicated AI processing unit that significantly enhances subject recognition and provides remarkable still image resolution.

Newly Developed AI Processing Unit A Whole New Level of Camera Intelligence

State-of-the-art AI processing now utilizes detailed data about human forms and postures. This advancement dramatically improves the camera’s subject recognition accuracy, enabling it to fully leverage its potential resolution. Additionally, subject recognition has expanded to cover a variety of new subjects, such as vehicles and insects.

AI-Driven Performance:

• Advanced Subject Recognition: Equipped with a specialized AI processing unit, the α7R V processes large volumes of data efficiently. This improvement allows for more accurate subject recognition and broader subject type identification.
• Human Pose Estimation: The α7R V uses subject form data to recognize movement, leading to a roughly 60% improvement in human eye recognition. Human pose estimation also uses learned data about human forms and postures to precisely identify not only eyes but also body and head positions. This allows the camera to track subjects who are facing away or wearing a mask.
• Recognizing a Wider Range of Subjects: In addition to humans, animals, and birds, the α7R V now recognizes insects, cars, trains, and airplanes. This expanded recognition gives you more flexibility and reliability when shooting both stills and movies. The camera can now recognize heads and bodies in addition to eyes, further enhancing its tracking capabilities in the Human, Animal, and Bird settings.
• Improved White Balance Control: The α7R V’s AWB function has evolved to match the camera’s enhanced AI capabilities. In combination with the “Visible Light + IR sensor” on the front of the body, the AI processing unit helps the camera achieve more accurate white balance in challenging lighting situations, such as when subjects are in shadow.
• Shooting Responsibly with Face Registration: The face registration feature uses biometric data. Therefore, you are responsible for collecting and using this data in compliance with local laws. For more details, please visit the official website.

Extraordinary Resolution:

• A New High in α Resolution: The 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor, with approximately 61.0 million effective pixels, works in tandem with the BIONZ XR™ processing engine to deliver breathtaking detail in both stills and movies.
• 35mm Full-Frame Image Sensor with 61.0 Effective Megapixels: Sony’s image sensor technologies include noise reduction achieved through its back-illuminated structure, gapless on-chip lenses, AR coating, and the elimination of an optical low-pass filter, ensuring exceptional image quality.
• The Latest BIONZ XR Image Processing Engine: With up to eight times the processing power of its predecessor, the new BIONZ XR handles large volumes of image data efficiently while reducing latency. This boost in performance improves both movie and still-image processing power.
• Consistently Accurate Exposure and Color: The BIONZ XR engine enhances exposure control and color reproduction accuracy. A new AE algorithm detects skin areas in faces and adjusts exposure accordingly, providing better results when shooting both stills and movies.
• Selectable RAW Image Sizes and Quality: The α7R V now supports the lossless RAW format with three selectable pixel counts: L (60M), M (26M), and S (15M). Both M and S sizes offer the same resolution in full-frame and APS-C fields of view, simplifying post-production workflows.
• Advanced 5-Axis In-Body Optical Stabilization: The α7R V offers up to 8 steps of stabilization in-body alone, a first for the α series. This ensures effective stabilization for slow-shutter shots, such as interiors or night scenes, without the need for increased sensitivity.
• Precise Compensation at the Single-Pixel Level: A new stabilization algorithm compensates for minute movements, detecting and controlling adjustments down to the single-pixel level. This maximizes the potential of the 61.0 megapixel resolution, bringing out even the finest details.
• Creative Look Supports Varied Expression: The Creative Look feature offers 10 presets that can be used as-is or modified to create different “looks.” These presets help creators fine-tune the mood of their stills or movies directly in-camera.
• Pixel Shift Multi Shooting Responds to Changing Conditions: Pixel Shift Multi Shooting utilizes the precision of the in-body image stabilization system. The camera captures up to 16 pixel-shifted images, which are then composited using a computer to create a high-resolution image. The software compensates for even tiny movements at the pixel level.

Next-Generation AF:

• Real-Time Recognition AF: The α7R V’s AF system delivers enhanced performance by leveraging deep learning technology. Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking have both improved, offering more reliable subject tracking across a wider area.
• Faster, More Precise Wide-Area AF: The BIONZ XR engine and new algorithms have significantly improved AF performance, with up to 693 phase-detection points covering 79% of the image area, resulting in faster and more precise focusing.
• Accurate AF in Low Light (EV -4.0): With the latest AF algorithms, the α7R V achieves high AF precision in lighting as low as EV -4.0 in AF-S mode. Focus Priority mode provides more reliable AF in low light or when using smaller apertures.
• Continuous Shooting Up to 583 Compressed RAW Images at 10 fps: The α7R V supports continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with full AF/AE tracking, allowing you to capture up to 583 compressed RAW images.
• Focus Bracketing to Capture the Best Shot: The camera automatically shoots up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, allowing you to select the perfect shot or create composites with impossible depth of focus during post-processing.
• Flicker Suppression: Flicker from artificial lighting is effectively suppressed. You can choose “Anti-flicker shoot” for stills or “Var Shutter” to fine-tune shutter speeds to match flicker rates for both stills and movies.
• Full-Time DMF: In AF-C or AF-S autofocus modes, you can rotate the lens’s focus ring to instantly switch to manual focus, making it easy to adjust focus on the fly.
• Movies with Spectacular Detail and Presence: The α7R V enables in-camera recording of high-resolution 8K movies (7680 x 4320) at 24p (25p), using the efficient XAVC HS format. It captures even the finest details, ensuring the best performance from Sony lenses.
• Outstanding 4K Movie Recording up to 60p (50p): The camera supports both full-frame and Super 35mm formats for 4K movie recording. With full pixel readout and no pixel binning in Super 35mm mode, it provides 2.6x oversampling for superior image quality.
