Product Description

Sony a7 V Mirrorless Camera

Power in Every Frame

A true all-rounder built for modern creators, the Sony a7 V is a hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera that blends professional photo performance, advanced video features, and next-generation AI-driven autofocus. Compact, capable, and versatile, it’s equally at home capturing high-speed sports, cinematic video productions, or daily content creation. With technology inherited from Sony’s flagship lineup, the a7 V delivers powerful results in every scenario.

Next-Gen Imaging Performance

33MP Partially Stacked Exmor RS CMOS Sensor

The a7 V introduces Sony’s first partially stacked full-frame sensor, a 33MP Exmor RS CMOS design that offers faster readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter compared to the a7 IV. This enhanced sensor provides up to 16 stops of dynamic range, a native ISO range of 100–51,200, and enables an electronic shutter speed of up to 1/16,000 sec.

Paired with Sony’s new processor, it brings flagship-level improvements in image quality, subject tracking, and burst performance, ensuring exceptional responsiveness and clarity.

BIONZ XR2 Processor

At the heart of the camera, the BIONZ XR2 processor incorporates an advanced AI unit that enhances color accuracy, white balance, and autofocus intelligence. Together with the partially stacked sensor, it enables:

• Blackout-free 30 fps continuous shooting with full AF/AE tracking

• 7K oversampled 4K60p and Super 35 4K120p video recording

• Advanced noise handling and real-time subject recognition

Capture the Decisive Moment

Pre-Capture & Speed Boost Modes

• Pre-Capture lets the camera continuously buffer images when the shutter button is half-pressed, storing up to one second of action before the actual click—perfect for capturing fast, unpredictable moments.

• Speed Boost allows instant switching to a higher burst rate (up to 30 fps) with a single custom button press, ensuring you never miss the peak moment.

Custom RAW Options

The a7 V offers flexible RAW formats—compressed HQ, lossless compressed, and lightweight RAW—for optimal balance between image quality and workflow efficiency.
The new Composite RAW feature combines 4, 8, or 16 sequential frames to create high dynamic range, low-noise images, ideal for low-light shooting.

Rock-Solid Stability

The 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) system compensates for up to 7.5 stops of camera shake at the frame center (6.5 stops at the periphery).
For video, Dynamic Active Stabilization adds electronic correction for ultra-steady handheld footage—even while walking or tracking a subject.

AI-Powered Autofocus and Subject Recognition

Borrowing cutting-edge tech from the a7R V, a9 III, and a1 II, the a7 V features a dedicated AI Processing Unit for intelligent and precise autofocus.
The 759-point phase-detection AF system covers 94% of the image area and focuses down to -4 EV, delivering lightning-fast accuracy.

Enhanced Recognition Capabilities

• Detects and tracks humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and aircraft

• Human pose estimation for accurate focus on body, head, and eyes—even through obstructions or when subjects move erratically

• 30–50% faster recognition of animals and birds compared to the a7 IV

• Real-time Tracking and Auto Subject Recognition automatically adjust focus mode without needing manual subject selection

• Full-time DMF enables instant manual override of autofocus

Professional Video Power

7K Oversampled 4K

Record 4K60p 10-bit video using the full sensor width, oversampled from 7K for exceptional detail and realism. Switch to Super 35 mode for 4K120p or FHD 240p slow-motion capture.

Thermal Efficiency & Recording Stability

A redesigned graphite heat sink integrated into the IBIS unit ensures stable performance during long recording sessions.

Advanced Recording Tools

• Breathing Compensation minimizes focus breathing with compatible lenses

• Framing Stabilizer uses AI tracking to maintain your subject in frame automatically

• Internal 24-bit audio recording with up to 4-channel support when using external microphones

• New reference mic and wind-noise reduction control ensure cleaner sound capture

Cinematic Color & Log Control

• S-Cinetone delivers rich, natural mid-tones and skin tones inspired by Sony’s professional VENICE cinema camera

• S-Log3 offers over 15 stops of dynamic range for color grading flexibility

• Import custom LUTs via Creators’ Cloud for precise on-set color monitoring

Refined Design and Handling

Intuitive Displays

• 4-axis 3.2" 2.1m-dot touchscreen LCD with full tilt and flip functionality

• 3.68m-dot Quad-VGA OLED EVF with 120 fps refresh rate and 0.78x magnification for lifelike previews

• Both screens support DCI-P3 wide color gamut for accurate monitoring

Dual Card Slots

One CFexpress Type A/SD UHS-II combo slot and one SD UHS-II slot provide flexible options for overflow, backup, or file separation.

Improved Power & Build

• Uses high-capacity NP-FZ100 battery for up to 750 shots (LCD) or 630 shots (EVF)—a 23% improvement over the a7 IV

• Magnesium alloy chassis ensures durability while remaining lightweight

• Enhanced grip ergonomics and reinforced lens mount for heavy lenses

• Comprehensive weather-sealing protects against dust and moisture

Connectivity & Workflow
