New Partially Stacked Sensor and Upgraded Processing

33MP Exmor RS CMOS Full-Frame Sensor

The first Sony camera to feature a partially stacked sensor, the a7 V's 33MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor offers faster readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter compared to the a7 IV. Coupled with a new processor, this sensor also enables a handful of flagship-level benefits, including more advanced subject recognition and tracking, faster continuous shooting performance, and improved image quality with 16 stops of dynamic range. The sensor offers a native ISO range of 100-51200 and the partially stacked design also contributes to a faster 1/16,000-sec top electronic shutter speed.

BIONZ XR2 Processor

Another contributor to the increased speed and overall performance, the new BIONZ XR2 processor incorporates an AI unit for enhanced autofocus, better color accuracy, and greater auto white balance consistency from frame to frame.

The increased processing efficiency also enables blackout-free 30 fps continuous shooting, with full-time AF and AE, as well as 7K-oversampled 4K 60p video recording and high-speed 4K 120p recording using a S35 area.

Pre-Capture & Speed Boost

Along with the key technology delivered by the sensor, the a7 V brings additional features to unlock the camera's full potential.

Pre-Capture: The a7 V can be configured to begin recording images to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed. Users can set this between 0.03-1.0 second. Upon pressing the shutter these images will be saved to the memory card.
Speed Boost: This function can be assigned to Function button, allowing users to instantly switch their usual continuous shooting frame rate to a faster one to make sure their next shot is just right. Photographers will be able to select various frame rates up to 30 fps.

Selectable Raw File Types and Composite RAW Function

The partially stacked sensor and improved processing also permit more flexibility when working with raw files:

Compressed HQ raw, lossless compressed raw, and a new lightweight raw format are available to suit different priorities, ranging from the ultimate image quality and editing flexibility to more efficient files that prioritize saving on storage space.
Extended raw file processing is possible via the Imaging Edge desktop app.
The Composite RAW function allows you to capture and composite on your computer 4, 8, or 16 sequential files, taken at 30 fps, to produce HDR images with reduced noise, especially at higher ISO values.

5-Axis Image Stabilization

Upgraded from its predecessor, the in-body image stabilization system has been revised to support up to 7.5 stops of camera shake compensation in the center of the frame and 6.5 stops at the periphery. This 5-axis stabilization system combines a high-performance gyro sensor with an optimized algorithm for more precise shake control and improved communication between the camera body and lens.

Upgraded AF and AI Subject Recognition

The autofocus performance of the a7 V is a key area of improvement over previous generations; borrowing from the flagship camera, the a7 V now sports an AI Processing Unit and refined subject detection and tracking. The phase-detection AF system itself still comprises 759 points, which cover about 94% of the sensor area, and support focusing down to -4 EV. Subject tracking and subject detection is improved, too, specifically how the camera is 30-50% faster to recognize animals and birds compared to the a7 IV.

First seen in the a7R V, a9 III, and the a1 II, the a7 V sports a dedicated AI Processing Unit for refined, responsive, and intelligent subject tracking and detection of humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes.
Human pose estimation tracks body and head positions for accurate focus in portraiture and sports settings and Real-time Eye AF performance refines this and prioritizes focus on recognized eyes.

Additionally, human pose estimation can distinguish between multiple people and maintain focus on the targeted subject; even if someone crosses in front, the camera maintains focus on the key person.
Real-time Tracking benefits from AI-based subject recognition for following moving subjects, making it particularly well-suited to sports and action subjects.
Auto Subject Recognition modes no longer necessitate selecting a subject type, letting the camera detect and track the intended subject.
XS and XL focus area spot sizes have been added for more versatility or you can customize AF focus areas to suit uniquely sized or shaped subjects.
Full-time DMF (Direct Manual Focus) enables using the lens's focus ring for manual focus control at any time, making it easier to switch focus to a different subject even when working with AF.

Video Recording

7K Oversampled 4K Recording

Making use of the high-resolution sensor and fast processing capabilities, UHD 4K 60p XAVC HS 10-bit recording is possible using the full width of the sensor, offering 7K full pixel readout for impressive sharpness and realism.
If using a Super 35 crop, high-speed recording is possible at up to UHD 4K 120p or FHD 240p for slow-motion playback.

Recording Flexibility

Extended recording times are possible thanks to efficient heat dissipation—a unique Sigma-shaped graphite heatsink is built into the stabilization unit and improves thermal consistency during extended clips.
With respect to audio recording during video, the a7 V supports internal 24-bit recording and up to 4-channel audio with compatible external microphones.
A new audio reference mic aids in noise reduction and there is a selectable wind-noise reduction control when working with the internal mic.

Dynamic Active stabilization adds substantial electronic correction on top of IBIS for more steady footage while running, walking, or recording handheld tracking shots.
Support for Breathing Compensation mode, which reduces the effects of focus breathing when using select lenses.
AI subject recognition, gained from the AI Processing Unit, benefits the Framing Stabilizer mode, which can be used to automatically crop and recompose so the subject remains centered in the image.

Advanced Color Control

S-Cinetone can be used to deliver distinct colors and healthy-looking skin tone rendering that matches many FX-series and a-series cameras and is based on technology from the professional Cinema Line cameras, such as the VENICE. This color profile offers natural mid-tones, soft colors, and especially well-controlled highlights.
S-Log3 is also available for producing a 15+-stop dynamic range with increased grading control in the shadow to mid-tone regions of the image.
Users can also import LUTs via Creators' Cloud for accurate monitoring while recording.

Body Design and Connectivity

3.68m-Dot EVF and 4-Axis Multi-Angle LCD

Sporting a new, more functional LCD design, the a7 V has a 4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor that combines the best assets of both tilting and side-open/flip-out vari-angle designs.
This 3.2" 2.1m-dot LCD also has a touchscreen design and a DCI-P3 wide gamut for accurate color monitoring.
An impressive Quad VGA OLED EVF features a 3.68m-dot resolution and 0.78x magnification for bright, clear, and detailed eye-level viewing.
The EVF offers 120 fps playback for smooth motion rendering and the brightness and color can both be adjusted if needed.

Ports and Interface

Full-size HDMI A port offers a more reliable connection when working with external recorders.
Dual USB-C ports offer greater versatility and the ability to simultaneously power the camera or charger the battery while also transferring data to an external storage device.

Port 1 is a USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port intended for data transfer at up to 10 Gbps and Port 2 is a USB-C 2.0 port intended for power delivery and in-camera battery charging.
Both 3.5mm headphone and external microphone ports facilitate greater control over audio recording.
Multi Interface Shoe supports working with the optional ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adapter Kit, which provide improved, clear audio recording sound by sending a digital audio signal to the camera, opposed to an analog signal.

Versatile and Durable Design

Dual memory card slots include one CFexpress Type A/SD UHS-II combination slot and one additional SD UHS-II slot. The dual slot design allows for flexible file saving and handling and can be configured to partition file types or can be used for overflow recording.
Accepts the high-capacity NP-FZ100 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which provides approximately 630 shots per charge when using the viewfinder or 750 shots when using the rear LCD—a 23% improvement over the a7 IV.

Magnesium alloy chassis assures rigidity, durability, and stability while remaining lightweight.
The lens mount has also been improved to better support heavy lenses, and the grip rigidity has been improved for more comfortable hand-holding.
Extensive weather-sealing, including enhanced sealing around the battery cover, terminal cover, and chassis joints, has been employed to resist dust and moisture for reliable operation in harsh weather conditions.

Connectivity

Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC enables the a7 V to instantly share imagery to mobile devices for direct sharing online. This wireless connectivity supports both 5 and 6 GHz bands, along with 2x2 MIMO, for a strong, reliable connection to enable rapid transfers, remote control, and wireless tethered shooting.

Bluetooth connectivity allows for location data acquisition.
Supports 4K webcam use and is UVC/UAC compliant for simple operation. Internal recording is also supported while live streaming.
Imaging Edge Remote for desktop supports PC Remote shooting via the Wi-Fi connection or tethered by the wired USB-C port. An updated data transfer control also makes it possible to transfer files from an SD card over Wi-Fi using the Imaging Edge Mobile app even when the camera is powered off.
