Sony a7 V Full-Frame Hybrid Mirrorless Camera: 30fps Blackout-Free Shooting, AI Autofocus, 5-Axis in-Body Stabilization (Pro Bundle)

9% Off

Main Highlights

A partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor features high-speed circuitry above and below the sensing layer. Sensor readout is approx. 4.5 x*1 faster than the 7 IV, maximum shutter speed is 1/16000 s, *2 blackout-free bursts at up to 30 fps are available with AF/AE tracking, *3 and video can be recorded at 4K 120p.*4 This advanced sensor contributes up to an unprecedented 16 stops of dynamic range*5 with smooth gradations.
The new BIONZ XR2 processing engine delivers dramatic improvements in image and sound quality, communication, integration, and operation. It also incorporates AI-based Real-time Recognition AF and*6 Real-time Tracking, *7 plus accurate, stable color reproduction. A lightweight RAW format has been included, while user interface, networking, and file management functions have been refined for smooth workflow.
The new 33.0-megapixel*8 sensor and BIONZ XR2 processing engine work together to deliver up to 16 stops of dynamic range. *9 Lifelike gradations from shadows to highlights enable highly effective HDR processing when needed, and effective noise reduction applied at all sensitivities achieves high resolution throughout the ISO 100-51200 still and movie range (expandable to 50-204800 for stills and 100-102400 for movies).
An advanced optical stabilization unit, gyro sensors, and algorithm accurately detect and correct image shake. Up to 7.5-step central and 6.5-step peripheral stabilization*14 allows handheld shooting without having to boost sensitivity. The body also works with compatible lenses*15 for even better stabilization. Even shake that is amplified at telephoto focal lengths is effectively suppressed.
AI processing in the new BIONZ XR2 processing engine improves recognition by approximately 30% over the 7 IV. Human pose estimation technology uses detailed form and pose data to achieve reliable human eye recognition as well as accurate recognition of body and head position, even with challenging subjects. Multiple subjects can also be recognized, making it possible to track the desired subject.
