A Whole New Level of Camera Intelligence from AI Processing Unit

State-of-the-art AI processing with deep learning uses detailed information about human forms and poses to dramatically improve the camera’s subject recognition accuracy and make full use of its potential resolution. AI subject recognition has been expanded to include a number of new subject types, including vehicles and insects.

Next-Generation AF with Real-time Recognition Autofocus

The a7R V's AF system delivers dramatically enhanced overall performance, drawing on major improvements in subject recognition performance. Deep learning technology supports powerful Real-time Recognition AF and more reliable Real-time Tracking which is supported by higher Fast Hybrid AF performance over a wider area.

61MP Full-Frame Back-Illuminated Exmor R CMOS Sensor

This newest generation of the a7R series continues the pursuit of high image resolution, delivering the highest resolution at low sensitivity in the series thus far. The 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor with 61 million pixels and the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine are used to their fullest potential to deliver extraordinary resolution and fine subject detail.

BIONZ XR Image Processor for up to 8x Processing Speed

With up to eight times the processing power of its predecessor, the new BIONZ XR processes huge volumes of image data while minimizing latency and markedly boosting the camera’s movie and still-image processing power.

Outstanding Filmmaking with 8K 24p/25p and 4K 60p/50p

The XAVC HS format enables in-camera recording of high-resolution, high-quality 8K (7680 x 4320) 24p/25p movies with efficient HEVC/H.265 compression, bringing out the very best in Sony's lenses and taking full advantage of the resolution provided by the sensor and full-pixel readout. Even the finest subject details are faithfully captured. Full frame and Super 35mm formats can be selected for 4K movie recording. Full pixel readout in the Super 35mm mode without the need for pixel binning makes 6.2x oversampling possible for 4K movies. The XAVC S-I (All-Intra) or the XAVC HS format is supported, with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling

Advanced Optical 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization for 8-Step Compensation

The a7R V has been upgraded to offer up to 8 steps of stabilization in the body alone, for the first time in the a series. A new stabilization algorithm provides precise detection and control right down to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor's 61-megapixel resolution to bring out the finest subject details. This achieves effective stabilization for slow-shutter shots of interiors or night scenes where it is preferable to avoid the need for increased sensitivity.

Unique 4-Axis LCD Monitor Combining Tilting Convenience and Side-Opening Flexibility

Sony's newly developed 4-axis multi-angle monitor combines the utility of a conventional tilting monitor with side-opening vari-angle flexibility. It allows greater shooting freedom by providing unrestricted angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

Selectable Large/Medium/Small RAW Image Sizes and Quality

The a7R 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, for simpler post-production workflow.

Active Mode Image Stabilization for Stable Handheld Movie Shooting

Active Mode provides strong image stabilization for handheld movie shooting. In addition to in-body stabilization, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilisation coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, allowing even handheld telephoto shots.
