SONY a7R V Mirrorless Camera (10210KVG)

The “Sony a7R V” is a mirrorless camera that combines resolution and precision, designed for those who crave detail. Featuring a 61 MP full-frame sensor, a brand-new AI-powered autofocus system with advanced subject recognition, 8K video recording, and 5-axis image stabilization, the fifth-generation a7R is reliable and versatile for both photography and videography.

 

  

61 MP full-frame CMOS sensor


This full-frame 61 MP Exmor R CMOS sensor offers an incredible combination of exceptional resolution, high clarity, low noise, and a wide 15-stop dynamic range. The sensor structure ensures impressive image quality, while a copper wiring layer significantly improves data transfer speeds when creating 14-bit high-resolution 61 MP frames, with an initial sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 32,000, which can be further extended to ISO 50–102,400.

 

Enhanced processor


The new BIONZ XR processing engine offers up to 8 times more processing speed compared to previous generations, ensuring faster overall performance, impressive image quality with high sensitivity and dynamic ranges, and smoother processing capable of performing multiple AI tasks alongside imaging processes with intelligent AF. This processing system also reduces rolling shutter and other motion distortions so that moving objects are rendered clearly.

 

  

  

5-axis image stabilization


With the updated a7R V, the in-body image stabilization system has been redesigned to support up to 8 stops of camera shake compensation. This 5-axis stabilization system combines a high-performance gyroscope sensor with an optimized algorithm to more precisely control shake and improve the connection between the camera body and the lens.

 

Precise exposure and color


A new auto-exposure algorithm can detect large areas of skin on faces to more accurately balance portrait exposure. This AE method is approximately 20% more reliable even in backlit or direct sunlight conditions, or even when the subject is not facing the camera directly. Deep learning technology, along with external visible light and IR sensors, also contributes to more accurate color reproduction and automatic white balance processing.

 

  

  

AI tracking


Using specialized processing, the a7R V autofocus is highly effective due to advanced subject tracking and recognition capabilities and the reliable hybrid AF system for which Alpha cameras are known. Real-time recognition AF works with various selectable target types:

 

- Real-time recognition.

- Tracks body and head positions for precise portraits. Due to human pose estimation capabilities, real-time Eye AF has also improved by 60%.

- Animal/Bird modes are now 40% more accurate for tracking and recognizing various animal types. Recognition includes dogs, cats, birds, etc., capable of accurately detecting eyes and recognizing animal bodies and heads.

- Real-time recognition.

- Insect recognition provides even better performance and can detect the head or the entire insect subject.

- Car/Train and Airplane recognition means the camera can detect the front of a train, the nose of an airplane, or easily detect an entire fast-moving object.

 

  

  

  

8K 24p and 4K 60p support


Utilizing the high-resolution sensor and fast processing capabilities, it is possible to record UHD 8K 24p and UHD 4K 60p XAVC HS 10-bit video, using the full sensor width with full pixel readout for impressive clarity and realism. If using Super 35 cropping, all pixels can be recorded up to UHD 4K resolution at frame rates up to 30p, or 6.2K via downsampling for greater clarity and detail.

 

Recording flexibility


The A7R V uses a pair of codecs to suit different workflows: XAVC HS, which uses HEVC/H.265 encoding to preserve more detail at a lower bitrate, and XAVC S-I, which is an intra-codec ensuring consistent performance and quality at a higher bitrate. When recording in Full HD, high-speed 120 fps recording allows for 4x and 5x slow-motion films when the frame rate is set to 30p or 24p. The camera's physical design features an improved heat-dissipating structure to allow for longer recording times.

 

  

  

Versatile and durable design


- Dual memory card slots are compatible with CFexpress Type A or SD type memory cards. The dual-slot design allows for flexible file saving and management, and can be configured to separate file types or used for overflow recording. Additionally, both card slots are designed to support UHS-II memory cards for faster data transfer.

- This camera is compatible with the high-capacity NP-FZ100 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which ensures approximately 440 shots / 90 minutes of recording using the viewfinder or 530 shots / 100 minutes of recording using the rear LCD screen on a single charge.

- A magnesium alloy chassis ensures toughness, durability, and stability while remaining lightweight. The also improved lens mount is extremely sturdy, allowing for better support of heavy lenses, and the grip stability has been improved for a more comfortable hold.

- To ensure reliable operation in harsh weather conditions, this camera is designed to be fully weather-sealed against various environmental conditions, including improved sealing around the battery cover, terminal cover, and other parts.

 

  

  

Ports and interface


- A full-size HDMI Type-A port ensures a more reliable connection when working with external recording devices.

- In addition to the micro-USB port, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port has been added for faster and more reliable modem support. The USB-C connection allows the camera to be charged or powered from a primary power source when connected.

- A computer sync terminal for wired flash synchronization with flash packs or wireless radio remote controls.

- Both 3.5 mm headphone and external microphone ports allow for better audio recording control.

- Multi Interface Shoe compatible with the optional ECM-B1M Shotgun microphone or the XLR-K3M XLR adapter kit, which ensure improved, clear audio recording by sending a digital audio signal to the camera rather than an analog signal.

 

Connectivity


- Integrated Wi-Fi and NFC allow the a7R V to instantly transfer images to mobile devices, and support for 2.4 and 5 GHz bands also provides wireless tethered shooting support. Additionally, the 5 GHz band supports 2x2 MIMO for fast connectivity, and dual antennas ensure a reliable connection.

- Bluetooth connectivity is available.

- Supports 4K webcam use and is compatible with UVC/UAC for easy management. Internal recording is also supported during live streaming.

- The USB-C port, used in conjunction with an optional USB Ethernet adapter, offers speeds up to 1000 BASE-T for fast wired LAN sharing and remote management.
