Sony A7 V Mirrorless Camera Kit with (28-70 II) Lens

New Partially Stacked Sensor and Upgraded Processing

33MP Exmor RS CMOS Full-Frame Sensor

The first Sony camera to feature a partially stacked sensor, the a7 V’s 33MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor offers faster readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter compared to the a7 IV. Coupled with a new processor, this sensor also enables a handful of flagship-level benefits, including more advanced subject recognition and tracking, faster continuous shooting performance, and improved image quality with 16 stops of dynamic range. The sensor offers a native ISO range of 100-51200 and the partially stacked design also contributes to a faster 1/16,000-sec top electronic shutter speed.

BIONZ XR2 Processor

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.

Pre-Capture & Speed Boost

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.

Selectable Raw File Types and Composite RAW Function

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.

5-Axis Image Stabilization

Upgraded from its predecessor, the in-body image stabilization system has been revised to support up to 7.5 stops of camera shake compensation in the center of the frame and 6.5 stops at the periphery. This 5-axis stabilization system combines a high-performance gyro sensor with an optimized algorithm for more precise shake control and improved communication between the camera body and lens.

Upgraded AF and AI Subject Recognition

The autofocus performance of the a7 V is a key area of improvement over previous generations; borrowing from the flagship camera, the a7 V now sports an AI Processing Unit and refined subject detection and tracking. The phase-detection AF system itself still comprises 759 points, which cover about 94% of the sensor area, and support focusing down to -4 EV. Subject tracking and subject detection is improved, too, specifically how the camera is 30-50% faster to recognize animals and birds compared to the a7 IV.

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.

Additionally, human pose estimation can distinguish between multiple people and maintain focus on the targeted subject; even if someone crosses in front, the camera maintains focus on the key person.

Real-time Tracking benefits from AI-based subject recognition for following moving subjects, making it particularly well-suited to sports and action subjects.

Auto Subject Recognition modes no longer necessitate selecting a subject type, letting the camera detect and track the intended subject.

• XS and XL focus area spot sizes have been added for more versatility or you can customize AF focus areas to suit uniquely sized or shaped subjects.
• Full-time DMF (Direct Manual Focus) enables using the lens’s focus ring for manual focus control at any time, making it easier to switch focus to a different subject even when working with AF.
