Overview

Combining resolution and precision, the Sony a7R V is the mirrorless camera designed for those who crave detail. Featuring a 61MP full-frame sensor, all-new AI-based autofocus system with advanced subject recognition, 8K video recording, and 8-stop image stabilization, the fifth-generation a7R is reliable and well-rounded for both photography and video applications.

Features

AI-Driven Performance

AI Processing Unit

The a7R V is equipped with an AI processing unit specifically dedicated to processing significant amounts of data to enable more accurate recognition of subjects and recognition of a wider range of subject types.

Human Pose Estimation

The a7R V uses subject form data to recognise movement, providing a roughly 60% improvement in human eye recognition. Human pose estimation uses learned human forms and postures to precisely recognise not just eyes, but body and head position, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask, for example.

Recognise a Wider Range of Subjects

In addition to humans, animals and birds, the camera now recognises insects, cars, trains and airplanes, providing even greater flexibility and reliability when shooting both stills and movies. Heads and bodies are now recognised in addition to eyes (Real-time Eye AF) for the Human, Animal, and Bird settings.

61mp 35mm Full-Frame Sensor

The sensor is packed with Sony's image sensor technologies, with effective noise reduction realised by its back-illuminated structure, plus gapless on-chip lenses, AR coating (anti-reflection seal glass), and the elimination of an optical low pass filter.

Consistently Accurate Exposure and Colour

The latest BIONZ XR engine achieves even better exposure control and colour reproduction accuracy. A new AE algorithm is capable of detecting the skin area in faces and controlling exposure accordingly when shooting stills and movies.

Selectable 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.

Advanced 5-Axis In-Body Optical Stabilisation

The a7R V has been upgraded to offer up to 8 steps of stabilisation8 in the body alone, for the first time in the a series. This achieves effective stabilisation for slow-shutter shots of interiors or night scenes where it is preferable to avoid the need for increased sensitivity.

Faster, More Precise Wide-Area AF

The immense processing power of the new BIONZ XR engine and updated algorithms achieve notably improved AF performance. Up to 693 phase-detection points in a high-density array cover approximately 79% of the image area.

High Quality 8K & 4K Movie Recording

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 2.6x oversampling possible for 4K movies. The XAVC S-I (All-Intra) or the XAVC HS format is supported, with 10-bit 4:2:2 colour sampling.

Expressive S-Cinetone(TM)

Based on the technology of CineAlta(TM) cameras such as the acclaimed VENICE, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin tones, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights.

S-Log3 Gamma Curve with 14+ stops of Latitude

The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-gray (18% gray), achieving up to 14+ stops of latitude for efficient editing.

New 4-Axis Multi-Angle 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 shooting freedom by providing unrestricted angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

High-Detail LCD Panel

The a7R V's LCD monitor has a 3:2 aspect ratio, with 2.1 million dots, touch operation and a wide colour gamut (DCI-P3 equivalent). An outdoor mode is provided for clear visibility in bright outdoor settings.

QXGA Viewfinder with the Highest Resolution in Its Class

The 9.44 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder offers a 1.6x improvement in resolution, world-record 0.90x viewfinder magnification, a 41o diagonal FOV, and a selectable 120 fps setting for minimal motion blur.

Dual CFexpress Type A Media Slots

The a7R V's two media slots support both CFexpress Type A memory cards and UHS-I and UHS-II SDXC/SDHC cards. The fast writing capabilities of Type A cards contribute to the ability to process large volumes of data without stress. There are separate modes for relay and simultaneous recording.

Sony Corporation

The Sony Corporation needs no introduction. With products ranging from televisions, digital imaging, audio / video, electrical components and phones, almost everyone has had some experience with Sony in their lifetime. From humble beginnings as an electronics shop in a Tokyo department store, the company has grown to be one of the biggest names in electronics worldwide.
