Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera Body

The Sony a7R V features a 61MP full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor and coupled with the latest BIONZ XR processor, delivers incredible image quality and 8K video recording. A newly developed AI powered autofocus with deep learning improves the camera’s subject recognition accuracy. Also included an improved 5-axis in-body stabilisation system, a unique 4-way multi-angle screen and high resolution EVF for a refined professional shooting. Paired with high speed connectivity, the Sony Alpha a7R V sets a revolution for enthusiasts and professionals who want to capture every detail, from landscapes to wildlife or portraits.

AI powered autofocus
Achieve accurate, fast, and consistent Real-time autofocus tracking of subjects with unique AI driven technology. You'll even experience an advanced recognition of additional subjects' eyes (human, animal, bird, insects, car, aeroplanes) with seamless implementation for a unique shooting experience. With this professional camera, shoot sharp pictures and video content, even in difficult conditions.

Fast precise AF system
The immense processing power of the new BIONZ XR engine and updated algorithms achieve notably improved AF performance, drawing on the huge amount of data generated by the image sensor and the wide-area, high-density AF system. Up to 693 phase detection points cover approximately 79% of the image area. The wider AF area also allows greater framing freedom, for example when shooting portraits in vertical orientation. High AF precision is achieved down to light levels as low as EV -4.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens).

Outstanding detail
The stunning 61MP back-illuminated full-frame sensor paired with the BIONZ XR™ image processing engine delivers outstanding detail and colour accuracy - even in difficult lighting. Shoot at up to 10 fps with a durable buffer or use the new Pixel Shift shooting mode to deliver a huge 240MP ultra-detailed image. For nature and wildlife enthusiasts, use the APS-C crop for extra reach and retain maximum quality with 26MP.

8K video recording
The XAVC HS format enables in-camera recording of high-resolution 8K 24p (25p) movies with efficient HEVC/H.265 compression, bringing out the very best in Sony's lenses and taking full advantage of the potential resolution provided by the sensor and full-pixel readout. Even the finest subject details are faithfully captured. The ability to reframe 8K footage in post-production for 4K delivery affords invaluable editing flexibility as well.

4K movie recording
Full-frame and Super 35mm formats can be selected for 4K movie recording, as can 4K 60p (50p) recording. Full pixel readout in the Super 35mm mode without the need for pixel binning makes 2.6x oversampling possible for 4K movies. The XAVC S-I (All-Intra), or the XAVC HS format is supported, as is 10-bit 4:2:2 colour sampling.

S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops of latitude
The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-gray (18% grey), achieving up to 14+ stops of latitude. Three colour gamut settings are provided: S-Gamut, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine. These advanced settings make it easy to match footage shot on the α7R V with footage shot on VENICE and VENICE 2 digital cinema cameras or FX series cameras equipped with S-Log3 gamma curve settings, for smooth, efficient editing.

Real-time Tracking for movies
Thanks to substantial improvements in subject recognition, the camera can provide more reliable Real-time Tracking, keeping track of specified subjects with precise focus, including focus on the subject's eyes. Subject recognition is now enabled for movie shoots as well as still-image photography, for fast, stable focus when shooting. Even with subject recognition OFF, touch operation allows subjects to be acquired and tracked based on colour, pattern (luminance) and distance (depth).

Advanced optical 5-axis image stabilisation
The entire image stabilisation system has been updated with a high-precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimised image stabilisation algorithms. Camera shake is precisely detected and corrected by the image stabilisation unit, significantly expanding the range of shooting situations in which reliable stabilisation can be achieved. The body alone provides 8-step stabilisation17 for the first time in the α series.

Durable magnesium alloy chassis, reliable mechanical shutter
A lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy is used for the top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover, with durable construction that keeps the camera operating smoothly in hard-working environments. A shutter unit with a fast-response motor minimises mechanical shutter vibration that can cause blur, while allowing high-speed continuous shooting at up to 10 fps. The shutter is quiet and has been tested for durability in excess of 500,000 shutter cycles. Recyclable plastics are also used as much as possible.

Touch operation
The Touch Focus, Touch Tracking and Touch Shutter functions can be quickly activated or deactivated by touching an icon on the shooting display. During playback images can be selected by touch, and pinch-out/pinch-in gestures can be used to enlarge or reduce the selected image. Touch sensitivity can be adjusted for optimum control response.

Continuous shooting
Even with the high resolution of the α7R V, continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with full AF/AE tracking is possible with the mechanical shutter. This level of speed and tracking reliability makes it easy to capture the most photogenic moments and expressions with moving subjects. Up to 583 compressed RAW images can be continuously shot at 10 fps.

Unique 4-axis LCD monitor
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 flexibility in shooting by providing unrestricted angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

QXGA viewfinder
A 9.44 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder delivers the highest resolution, with approximately 1.6 times the resolution of previous UXGA Tru-Finder™ viewfinders. It also features significantly improved optics and mechanical design, achieving world-record 0.90x viewfinder magnification, and a 41° diagonal FOV (approx. 43° for the entire display area).

Two CFexpress Type A compatible slots
The α7R V has two media slots that support CFexpress Type A memory cards as well as UHS-I and UHS-II SDXC/SDHC, for high capacity and fast read/write speeds. The same data can be simultaneously recorded to both slots for backup, or the user can choose to separate stills/movies or JPEG (HEIF)/RAW formats. There is also a relay mode in which still image or movie recording will automatically switch to the second media card.

High speed transfer and connectivity
Responding to professional needs, the α7RV offers updated connectivity with high speed Wi-Fi 2.4Ghz/5Ghz transfer speed and a SuperSpeed USB-C 10Gbps connection to remote control or transfer the content faster. The camera also allows you to record in both CFexpress type A or SD in its two card slots for reliable media storage solution.
