AI processing unit for advanced subject recognition
The α7R 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 α7R V uses subject form data to recognise movement, providing a roughly 60% improvement in human eye recognition3. 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 airplanes4, 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.

Improved accuracy of WB control
The α7R V’s AWB function has evolved in tandem with the camera’s AI capabilities. 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.

A new high in α resolution5
The output from the 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor, with approximately 61.0 million effective pixels6, is processed in real time to the fullest extent by the advanced BIONZ XR™ processing engine to deliver breathtaking detail in both stills and movies

Designed to deliver detail
35mm full-frame image sensor with 61.0 effective megapixels6
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.

The latest BIONZ XR image processing engine
With up to eight times the processing power of its predecessor7, the new BIONZ XR processes huge volumes of image data while minimising latency and markedly boosting the camera’s movie and still-image processing power.

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 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

Advanced 5-axis in-body optical stabilisation
The α7R V has been upgraded to offer up to 8 steps of stabilisation8 in the body alone, for the first time in the α 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.

Precise compensation at the single-pixel level
A new stabilisation algorithm provides precise detection and control right down to the single-pixel level, taking full advantage of the sensor’s 61.0 megapixel9 resolution to bring out the finest subject details.

Creative Look supports varied expression
The Creative Look feature provides 10 presets that can be used unmodified or edited to create a variety of “looks” that can help creators fine-tune the mood of their stills or movies in-camera.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting10 responds to changing conditions
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting takes advantage of precision in-body image stabilisation system control. 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.

Next-generation AF

Real-time Recognition AF
The α7R 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 as well as more reliable Real-time Tracking11 which is supported by higher Fast Hybrid AF performance over a wider area.

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 points12 in a high-density array cover approximately 79% of the image area.

Accurate AF in low EV -4.0 light
The latest AF algorithms enable high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV -4.0 in AF-S mode13. The α7R V also includes a Focus Priority mode that provides more reliable AF in low light or when using smaller apertures.

Continuously shoot up to 583 compressed RAW images at 10 fps14
Continuous shooting at up to 10 fps14 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 speed15.

Focus bracketing to capture the best shot
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.

Flicker suppression16
Flicker from artificial lighting can be effectively suppressed, with your choice of “Anti-flicker shoot” for still shots or “Var Shutter” to fine-tune shutter speeds to match flicker rates when shooting either stills or movies.

Full-time DMF17
When shooting stills with AF-C or AF-S autofocus, the lens’s focus ring can be rotated to instantly switch to manual focus mode at any time. This makes it easy to switch focus to a different subject on the fly.

Movies with spectacular detail and presence

High quality 8K movie recording 18
The XAVC HS format enables in-camera recording of high-resolution, high-quality 8K (7680 x 4320) 24p (25p)18 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.

Outstanding 4K movie recording up to 60p(50p)19
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 binning20 makes 2.6x oversampling possible for 4K movies21. The XAVC S-I (All-Intra) or the XAVC HS format is supported, with 10-bit 4:2:2 colour sampling.

Expressive S-Cinetone™
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 colours and gorgeous highlights.

S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops22 of latitude
The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-gray (18% gray), achieving up to 14+ stops22 of latitude for efficient editing.

Real-time Tracking for movies
Thanks to improvements in subject recognition, Real-time Tracking is now even better, automatically tracking specified subjects with precise focus, including focus on the subject’s eyes23.

Active Mode24 for enhanced movie image stabilisation
Active Mode24 provides strong image stabilisation for handheld movie shooting. In addition to in-body stabilisation, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilisation25 coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, allowing even handheld telephoto shots.

Breathing compensation for consistent angle of view26
When shooting movies, breathing compensation uses Clear Image Zoom technology to maintain a consistent angle of view26, suppressing changes that may occur due to shifts in focus position. Breathing metadata can also be used in post production27.

Comprehensive movie tools
The α7R V provides various movie tools such as a clear recording tally frame on the display, Flexible Exposure mode, WB adjustment while recording, new Shot Mark aspect markers, and a movie self-timer.

Designed around creators
New 4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor

Unprecedented monitoring 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 orientations28.

3.2 type high-detail LCD panel
The α7R 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-record29 0.90x viewfinder magnification30, a 41° diagonal FOV, and a selectable 120 fps setting for minimal motion blur.

Dual CFexpress Type A compatible media slots
The α7R V’s two media slots support both CFexpress Type A memory cards and UHS-I and UHS-II SDXC/SDHC cards31. 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

Dedicated Still/Movie/S&Q dial
The Still/Movie/S&Q dial allows fast, independent selection, putting the most useful shooting settings for each mode within quick reach.

Touch operation during shooting and playback
The Touch Focus, Touch Tracking and Touch Shutter functions can be sequentially activated by touching an icon on the shooting display. During playback images can be selected by touch.

Workflow and reliability geared to pros2
Fast Wi-Fi for PC tethering, FTP and smartphone transfers

Built-in Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac) allows communication on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz32 bands, and provides 2×2 MIMO support for fast and stable data transfer and reliable communication.

UVC/UAC support for high-quality webcam applications
Easy streaming in 4K21 is possible with a UVC/UAC compatible smartphone or PC33 via USB connection34, so the α7R V can be used as a high-resolution webcam.

Effective heat dissipation for extended recording times
The camera has been redesigned from the ground up to ensure effective heat dissipation and prevent overheating. 8K 24p (25p) 10-bit 4:2:0 video can be recorded continuously for approximately 30 minutes35.

High reliability in challenging working environments
For more robust outdoor use, sealing is provided at all body seams, buttons and the battery compartment cover. A carefully designed lens lock button and cushioning around the mount also help resist dust and moisture36.

New anti-dust system increases dust removal efficiency
An ultrasonic actuator causes the filter in front of the image sensor to oscillate at more than 70,000 cycles per second, effectively removing dust and particles from the filter surface. There is also a Shutter When Power Off function that closes the shutter for lens changes.

Environmental and accessibility measures
Sony’s goal: zero environmental footprint

The Sony Group “Road to Zero” project aims to achieve a zero environmental footprint. To achieve that goal, we continue to refine every stage of our camera and accessory manufacture and distribution cycle to minimise environmental stress, from development through production to packaging and transport.

Applying our plan to the α7R V
Recyclable non-plastic packaging materials

Sony is working towards the use of non-plastic packaging materials that provide ample protection against shock and impact37. Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags38. All of this helps to minimise environmental stress.

A newly developed 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.

A new level of resolution

This newest generation of the α7R 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 61.0 million16 pixels and the latest BIONZ XR™ image processing engine are used to their fullest potential to deliver extraordinary resolution and fine subject detail.

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. [1] Yaw [2] Roll [3] Pitch

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting responds to changing conditions

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting takes advantage of precision in-body image stabilisation system control, capturing up to 16 pixel-shifted shots to be later composited on a computer to achieve outstanding resolution in a single image18. With the latest version of Imaging Edge Desktop™ software, small pixel-level movements are automatically detected and corrected

Selectable RAW image sizes and quality

Lossless RAW image compression allows more high-quality images to be shot in continuous bursts, with a choice of three lossless-compression image sizes. The M and S sizes have the same number of pixels (26M/15M) whether shot in full-frame or APS-C mode, making it possible to seamlessly switch between full frame and APS-C angles of view within the same scene while maintaining the same image resolution.

Precise, versatile external flash control

When a compatible Sony external flash unit20 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 to deliver the optimum flash level for the subject.

Real-time Recognition AF for human

With its innovative AI processing unit, the α7R V can use Real-time Recognition AF to accurately recognise movements of people, providing an approximately 60% improvement in human eye recognition21 compared to the α7R IV. Human pose estimation technology uses learned human forms and poses to recognise not just eyes but body and head position with high precision, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask.

Faster, more 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).

Real-time Recognition AF for wider range of subjects

In addition to humans, animals, and birds, the camera can now recognise insects, cars, trains and airplanes, providing even greater flexibility and reliability when shooting both stills and movies. More types of birds are recognised, and animal recognition has been expanded to cover some grazing and small animals in addition to dogs, cats, and similarly featured animals, with up to 40% greater precision.

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.

Focus bracketing

The α7R V will automatically shoot up to 299 images with sequentially shifted focus points using intervals and a sequence that you specify. The best image can then be selected from the sequence, or a computer application can combine the focus bracketed images to create focus-stacked composites with deeply synthesised depth of field that take advantage of the camera’s high resolution.

Full-time DMF

When shooting stills with AF-C or AF-S autofocus, the lens’s focus ring can be rotated to switch to manual focus mode at any time. This makes it easy to return focus to the original subject if AF switches to a different subject, for example, by simply rotating the focus ring.

Full-pixel readout for 8K movies with incredible resolution

The XAVC HS format enables in-camera recording of high-resolution 8K 24p (25p)23 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 well24.

16-bit RAW output for enhanced editing flexibility

In response to the increasing demand for RAW recording capability, the α7R V provides 16-bit RAW output to an external recorder27 via an HDMI cable. Full-frame 3848 x 2168 (16:9 aspect ratio) output is available with a choice of frame rates28. It is also possible to output RAW via HDMI while recording XAVC HS 4K, XAVC S 4K, or XAVC S-I 4K to internal card media. Proxy recording is also available.

Outstanding 4K movie recording

Full-frame and Super 35mm formats can be selected for 4K movie recording, as can 4K 60p (50p)25 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% gray), 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

Active Mode image stabilisation for handheld movie shooting

Active Mode29 provides strong image stabilisation for handheld movie shooting. In addition to in-body stabilisation, compatible lenses with their own built-in image stabilisation coordinate with the camera body for highly effective control, allowing even handheld telephoto shots

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).

Unique 4-axis LCD monitor for enhanced shooting 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 flexibility in shooting by providing unrestricted angle adjustment in both horizontal and vertical orientations31.

Touch operations when shooting or during playback

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.

Designed for smooth movie making

Focus Map30 makes it easier to visualise depth of field when shooting movies. In addition, a bold, clearly visible red frame appears on screen when recording is in progress. Shot Marks can be added to recorded movie clips in-camera to identify particular scenes.

PC Remote shooting via wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)

The camera can be connected to a computer via Wi-Fi for wireless PC Remote (tethered) shooting using the “Remote” function of Sony’s latest Imaging Edge Desktop application, giving the user greater freedom of movement on location or in the studio. 2.4 GHz or 5GHz14 Wi-Fi bands can be selected as required. In addition to wirelessly connecting the camera directly to the PC, the ability to connect via a wireless access point adds the flexibility needed to work in a variety of network environments.

Effective heat dissipation for extended recording times

Heat generated by the image sensor, image processor, and AI processing unit is effectively dissipated to prevent overheating. One element of this is the graphite material formed into a unique Σ (sigma) shape and built into the image stabilisation unit. This structure allows the image sensor, a major source of heat inside the body, to move freely during stabilisation while effectively conducting heat away, achieving five times better heat dissipation.

Fast Wi-Fi for PC tethering, FTP and smartphone transfers

Built-in Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac) allows communication on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz14 bands. 802.11ac provides 2×2 MIMO support for fast and stable data transfer and reliable communication.

QXGA viewfinder with the highest resolution in its class

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 media 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.

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.

Recycled materials

Sony is working towards the use of non-plastic packaging materials, with plant-based non-woven fabrics as well as recyclable materials. As for the camera itself, no non-recyclable resources are used in our SORPLAS™ material32, which is repeatedly recyclable, durable, and high in quality. Recyclable plastics are also used as much as possible32, reducing stress on the environment without compromising performance or functionality in any way.

USB PD (Power Delivery) supports fast charging

The α7R V supports USB PD (Power Delivery), allowing higher power to be supplied from an external source. A USB charger or mobile battery that supports USB PD can be connected to the camera’s USB Type-C® port, supplying power or charging the internal battery at three to four times the rate of the previous model.
