Sony a7 V Mirrorless Camera with 28-70mm II Lens
Another contributor to the increased speed and overall performance, the new BIONZ XR2 processor incorporates an AI unit for enhanced autofocus, better color accuracy, and greater auto white balance consistency from frame to frame.
The increased processing efficiency also enables blackout-free 30 fps continuous shooting, with full-time AF and AE, as well as 7K-oversampled 4K 60p video recording and high-speed 4K 120p recording using a S35 area.
Along with the key technology delivered by the sensor, the a7 V brings additional features to unlock the camera’s full potential.
- Pre-Capture: The a7 V can be configured to begin recording images to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed. Users can set this between 0.03-1.0 second. Upon pressing the shutter these images will be saved to the memory card.
- Speed Boost: This function can be assigned to Function button, allowing users to instantly switch their usual continuous shooting frame rate to a faster one to make sure their next shot is just right. Photographers will be able to select various frame rates up to 30 fps.
The partially stacked sensor and improved processing also permit more flexibility when working with raw files:
- Compressed HQ raw, lossless compressed raw, and a new lightweight raw format are available to suit different priorities, ranging from the ultimate image quality and editing flexibility to more efficient files that prioritize saving on storage space.
- Extended raw file processing is possible via the Imaging Edge desktop app.
- The Composite RAW function allows you to capture and composite on your computer 4, 8, or 16 sequential files, taken at 30 fps, to produce HDR images with reduced noise, especially at higher ISO values.
- First seen in the a7R V, a9 III, and the a1 II, the a7 V sports a dedicated AI Processing Unit for refined, responsive, and intelligent subject tracking and detection of humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes.
- Human pose estimation tracks body and head positions for accurate focus in portraiture and sports settings and Real-time Eye AF performance refines this and prioritizes focus on recognized eyes.
- Extended recording times are possible thanks to efficient heat dissipation—a unique Sigma-shaped graphite heatsink is built into the stabilization unit and improves thermal consistency during extended clips.
- With respect to audio recording during video, the a7 V supports internal 24-bit recording and up to 4-channel audio with compatible external microphones.
- A new audio reference mic aids in noise reduction and there is a selectable wind-noise reduction control when working with the internal mic.
- Making use of the high-resolution sensor and fast processing capabilities, UHD 4K 60p XAVC HS 10-bit recording is possible using the full width of the sensor, offering 7K full pixel readout for impressive sharpness and realism.
- If using a Super 35 crop, high-speed recording is possible at up to UHD 4K 120p or FHD 240p for slow-motion playback.
