Sony A7R V Mirrorless Camera – Body Only

With next-generation AI-based Real-time Recognition AF with human pose estimation deep-learning, extraordinary 61MP picture quality, spectacular 8K24p/4K60p movies, and advanced connectivity and workflow to create a higher level of imaging performance, the Alpha 7R IV delivers the highest resolution image quality and the most advanced AI based autofocus capabilities in a full-frame mirrorless camera for creators whose demands require exceptional subject tracking and rendering.

A Whole new AI processing unit

State-of-the-art AI processing with deep learning uses human forms and poses to improve the camera’s subject recognition accuracy. AI subject recognition has been expanded to include a number of new subject types, including vehicles and insects.

Real-time Recognition autofocus

The α7R V’s AF system delivers dramatically improvements in subject recognition. Deep learning technology supports powerful Real-time Recognition AF as well as more reliable Real-time Tracking which is supported by higher Fast Hybrid AF performance over a wider area.

Full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor

The 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor with 61.0 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

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.

8K 24p/25p and 4K 60p/50p

In-camera recording of high-quality 8K 24p/25p movies with efficient compression. Full frame and Super 35mm formats can be selected for 4K recording. Full pixel readout in the Super 35mm mode without pixel binning makes 6.2x oversampling possible for 4K movies.

5-axis in-body stabilization

The α7R V has an updated in-body stabilization of up to 8 steps. A new stabilization algorithm provides precise detection and control to the single-pixel level to bring out the finest subject details.

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 shooting freedom by providing unrestricted angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

Selectable RAW image sizes and quality

The α7R 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

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

Improved Pixel Shift Multi

Up to 16 pixel-shifted images are captured and later composited using a computer to achieve overwhelming resolution in a single image. Even tiny movements down to single-pixel level can be detected and compensated for by the PC software doing the compositing.

Human pose estimation

The α7R V uses subject form data to recognize movement, providing a roughly 60% improvement in human eye recognition. Human pose estimation uses learned human forms and postures to precisely recognize body and head positions to lock onto and track a subject.

Improved accuracy of WB control

In addition to the “Visible Light + IR sensor” on the front of the body, the camera’s AI processing unit helps to achieve more accurate white balance in difficult lighting, such as when the subject is in shadow.

Consistently accurate exposure and color

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

Precise image stabilization compensation at the single-pixel level

A new stabilization algorithm provides precise detection and control to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor’s 61 megapixel resolution to bring out the finest subject details.

Faster, more precise wide-area AF

Up to 693 phase-detection points cover approximately 79% of the image area. High AF precision down to light levels as low as EV -4.0 in AF-S mode. The α7R V also includes a Focus Priority mode for more reliable AF in low light or when using smaller apertures.

Focus bracketing

The camera will automatically shoot up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points, with custom intervals and sequence specified by the user. Pick the perfect shot, or post-process multiple shots to achieve creative composites with impossible focus depth.

Continuously shoot up to 583 compressed RAW images at 10 fps

Continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with full AF/AE tracking is possible with the mechanical or electronic shutter. The camera can shoot up to 583 compressed RAW images at this speed.

Precise, versatile flash control

When a compatible flash unit is used with the camera’s auto white balance function, the white balance is adjusted to produce natural skin tones on faces based on the balance between the flash output and ambient light. Flash control also works with face detection.

Expressive S-Cinetone and 10 Creative Look presets in-camera

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

S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops of latitude

The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasizes gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-gray (18% gray), achieving up to 14+ stops of latitude. Three color gamut settings are provided: S-Gamut, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine.

Real-time Tracking

Sony α7R V provides Real-time Tracking, keeping track of specified subjects with precise focus. Subject recognition is now enabled for movie shoots and still shoots.

Breathing compensation

When shooting movies, breathing compensation uses Clear Image Zoom technology to maintain a consistent angle of view, suppressing changes that may occur due to shifts in focus position. Breathing metadata can also be used in post production.

QXGA viewfinder with the highest resolution in its class

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

Dual CFexpress Type A compatible media slots

The á7R 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
