Precise AF in low light

The latest AF algorithms achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-4.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens) so that AF is precise and reliable even in low light.

Pre-Capture for moments prior to shutter release

1. When using the electronic shutter. The temperature of the camera can rise at high continuous shooting speeds. Pre-Capture may be stopped to protect the camera when the ambient temperature is high.

Capture that decisive moment, even if it’s in the past. With this feature, half-pressing the shutter button to set focus enables the camera to capture a series of images, starting from up to one second

1. Maximum Pre-Capture time may be reduced in some situations.

Speed boost for critical action shots

Use one-button Continuous Shooting Speed Boost

1. Prior assignment to a custom button is required.
2. When using the electronic shutter. When Continuous Shooting Speed Boost is used during continuous shooting, separate pre-boost and post-boost playback groups are created.

7K oversampled 4K 60p recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning

1. When [4K angle of view priority] is ON. Angle of view is reduced when [4K angle of view priority] is OFF while recording full-frame 4K 60p.
2. Recording frame rates are listed as integer values, but the actual frame rates are as follows: 24p = 23.98 fps, 30p = 29.97 fps, 60p = 59.94 fps, and 120p = 119.88 fps.

The new BIONZ XR2 processor and Exmor RS sensor enable full pixel readout with no pixel binning when recording full-frame. This allows 3.3x

1. When [4K angle of view priority] is ON. Angle of view is reduced when [4K angle of view priority] is OFF while recording full-frame 4K 60p.

1. 17-point or 33-point CUBE files (.cube).

Shot Marks facilitate still image extraction

Enable this function before shooting so that any frames marked with Shot Marks during movie recording are automatically extracted and saved as stills when recording has finished. You can also extract and save any other frames as stills after recording.

4-axis monitor maximises shooting flexibility

The 4-axis multi-angle monitor adjusts upward by 98°, downward by 40°, and sideways by 180°, and when open, it can rotate up to 270º.

1. Cables connected to the camera’s connectors may limit monitor movement. Do not apply excessive force when opening or rotating the monitor.

Designed for comfort

The α7 V has been refined for improved hold and manageability to minimise fatigue, particularly when using heavy telephoto lenses or shooting for long periods of time. The grip fits comfortably in the palm of the hand while the location and angle of the shutter button have been carefully designed for effortless access.

Durable magnesium alloy chassis

A lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy is used for the top cover, front cover, internal frame and rear cover. The grip and front cover are manufactured as a single unit for high rigidity, while the mount is attached by six screws for extra strength. This provides maximum durability on shoots requiring a variety of large, heavy lenses, like super-telephoto lenses.

Effective heat dissipation

Effective heat dissipation allows 4K 60p 4:2:0 8bit video to be recorded continuously for approximately 90 minutes.
