Take a tour of ILCE-7V
The α7 V elevates everyday shooting with technology that performs far beyond the essentials. Powered by a 33.0 MP Exmor RS™ CMOS partially stacked sensor and Sony’s advanced BIONZ XR2 engine with built-in AI, it delivers exceptional autofocus, intelligence, and clarity. Capture every moment with blackout-free 30fps bursts, shoot stunning 7K-oversampled 4K 60p, or explore cinematic detail with 4K 120p (APS-C/Super 35). The α7 V sets a new standard for creators who expect more from a full-frame hybrid.
Full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor
An enhanced partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor features 33.0 megapixels1 and high-speed circuitry above and below the sensing layer. Readout is approximately 4.5x2 faster providing a maximum shutter speed of 1/16000 sec.,3 blackout-free bursts at up to 30fps with full AF/AE tracking,4 and video recording at 4K 120p.5 It delivers up to an unprecedented 16 stops of dynamic range6 with smooth gradations.
FBIONZ XR2™ with integrated AI processing unit
The BIONZ XR2 processing engine which integrates the AI processing unit of the latest α™ series delivers vast improvements in image and sound quality, and overall operation. It incorporates AI-based Real-time Recognition AF17 and Real-time Tracking, plus accurate, stable colour reproduction. In an upgrade from its predecessor, the α7 V includes a lightweight RAW format, while user interface, networking, and file management functions have all been refined.
Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30fps
High-speed bursts at up to 30fps4 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 second7 mean that you can capture fleeting moments with confidence, even when shooting fast, unpredictable action or portraits where expressions can change in an instant.
Excellent image quality
The new 33.0 effective megapixels11 sensor and BIONZ XR2 processing engine deliver up to 16 stops of dynamic range6. 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.12
Deep learning-based light source estimation
Enjoy improved auto white balance (AWB) performance, thanks to deep learning technology for light source colour estimation. The α7 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.[1] Shot on α7 IV [2] Shot on α7 V
Composite RAW support
Composite RAW shooting captures multiple RAW images that can be composited on a computer13. 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,14 with options for the simultaneous capture of 4, 8 or 16 images at 30fps15.[1] Composite RAW [Shooting for HDR]
More efficient, lightweight RAW format
A 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 prioritising image quality, and the [Compressed]
format allows for extended shooting.
5-axis optical stabilisation
An advanced optical stabilisation unit, gyro sensors, and an enhanced algorithm accurately detect and correct image shake. Up to 7.5-step16 central and 6.5-step peripheral stabilisation allow handheld shooting with no need to boost sensitivity. Use compatible lenses17 with built-in stabilisation for even more effective shake suppression, including when shooting at telephoto focal lengths.[1] Yaw [2] Roll [3] Pitch
Speed boost for critical action shots
Use one-button Continuous Shooting Speed Boost1819 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.
Real-time Recognition AF:20 Human pose estimation
AI processing in the new BIONZ XR2 processing engine improves recognition by approximately 30% over the α7 IV.21 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 recognise multiple subjects, meaning it can pick out and track the desired subject in a group.
Real-time Recognition AF:20 Wider subject recognition
Real-time Recognition AF supports [Human], [Animal], [Bird], [Insect], [Car/Train] and [Aeroplane] recognition,20 and an [Auto] mode can automatically detect the subject type.22 The α7 V offers about 30% improved animal recognition and about 50% improved bird recognition.2 It now also recognises 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 Tracking
AI-based Real-time Tracking accurately focuses on and tracks the selected subject when the shutter button is half-pressed. If the subject cannot be recognised or subject recognition AF is OFF, Sony's original algorithm processes colour, 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-point23 focal plane phase-detection AF
75923 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 settings
The α7 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 optimise focusing for a wide variety of subjects and scenes. Simply set the shape and size via the touch-sensitive monitor.
Precise AF in low light
The 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.
7K oversampled 4K 60p recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning24
The new BIONZ XR2 processor and Exmor RS sensor enable full pixel readout with no pixel binning when recording full-frame. This allows 3.3x24 the data required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) to be compressed into spectacularly detailed 4K 60p25 images with minimal moiré and jaggies.
In-camera audio noise reduction
The Audio Noise Reduction function digitally reduces continuous noise. Working with the camera's built-in microphone and external microphones26, this function can dramatically reduce wind noise and other continuous environmental noise, including mechanical noise from a power zoom lens.27 Choose between two settings: [Wind NR] and generic [Noise Cut].28
High frame rate 4K recording at up to 120p29
The Alpha 7C II boastInternal 4K recording at up to 120p29 makes it possible to produce up to 5x slow motion video with outstanding 4K resolution.40 Frame rates up to 240fps41 are available when recording at Full HD resolution, allowing up to 10x slow motion playback (24p recording in S&Q mode) for detailed sports analysis and more. A variety of formats are supported, including 4:2:2 10-bit recording, Long GOP and All Intra.
Stable Active Mode handheld shooting
Make the most of smooth handheld movie shooting thanks to Active Mode optical image stabilisation42, which now supports 4K 120p recording. The stabilisation unit, gyro sensors and image stabilisation algorithms enable the camera to precisely detect and correct for movement. Stabilisation is even more effective when the body is used with a compatible stabilised lens.
Extreme stabilisation with Dynamic active Mode30
The Dynamic active Mode adds electronic stabilisation to the optical stabilisation system for even greater effect. This improves stabilisation approximately 30% more than just Active Mode, making it possible to shoot smooth, stable images even when running around with the camera.
4-axis monitor maximises shooting flexibility
The 4-axis multi-angle monitor adjusts upwards by 98°, downwards by 40°, and sideways by 180°, and when open, it can rotate up to 270º.31 Its 3.2-type 2.1-million-dot (3:2 aspect ratio) touch sensitive display panel has a wide colour gamut and provides clear viewing even in bright conditions. [Monitor Low Bright] reduces brightness and battery drain when the camera has not been used for a pre-settable amount of time.
Advanced Wi-Fi for wireless transfers and remote tethering
Built-in Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11ax) with 2x2 MIMO support provides high-speed wireless communication that has been significantly improved over the α7 IV. Communication on the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands offers maximum speed and stability with minimum interference for news and sports shooters who need to deliver immediately via FTP, as well as for studio environments.
Easy live streaming
The α7 V offers live streaming at up to 4K 30p via a direct USB (UVC/UAC) computer connection and via a wired or wireless LAN network.32 When streaming via LAN, it's possible to broadcast 4K (3840 x 2160) 30p video while simultaneously recording the same content to an internal memory card. RTMP, RTMPS and SRT protocols are supported.
