Product Highlights
Overview of the Sony alpha a7 V Mirrorless Camera (Body)
Meet the new Sony Alpha 7 V full-frame mirrorless camera featuring a 33MP partially-stacked sensor, a dedicated AI unit, and the BIONZ XR processor, enabling blackout-free 30fps bursts, advanced subject recognition (humans, animals, vehicles, insects), and uncropped 4K 60p video. It boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor, including faster readout, better stabilization (7.5 stops), improved ergonomics with a 4-axis LCD, dual USB-C ports, and CFexpress Type A/SD card slots, positioning it as a versatile, high-performance hybrid camera for creators.
Key Features
33MP Exmor RS CMOS Full-Frame Sensor
Being 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 that offers 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
This new BIONZ XR2 processor incorporates an AI unit for enhanced autofocus, better color accuracy, and greater auto white balance consistency from frame to frame. This 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
The a7 V allows users to switch usual continuous shooting frame rate to a faster one to make as well as record images to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed and save them to a memory card.
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.
Selectable Raw File Types and Composite RAW Function
Compressed HQ RAW, lossless compressed RAW, and a new lightweight RAW format offer options to suit different priorities from ultimate image quality and editing flexibility to more efficient files while extended RAW processing and Composite RAW capture via the Imaging Edge desktop app enable HDR images with reduced noise by compositing 4, 8, or 16 frames shot at 30 fps, especially at higher ISO values.
Upgraded AF and AI Subject Recognition
Powered by a dedicated AI Processing Unit, the a7 V delivers Sony’s most intelligent autofocus yet. With 30–50% faster subject recognition than the a7 IV, it instantly locks onto humans, animals, birds, insects, and even vehicles—tracking with precision across 94% of the frame.
From human pose estimation and Real-time Eye AF to seamless subject switching and uninterrupted tracking, the a7 V stays focused on what matters even when the scene gets busy. No mode switching, no hesitation just refined, responsive, AI-driven focus for sports, wildlife, and everyday storytelling.
7K Oversampled 4K Video
Capture stunning detail with 7K full-pixel readout oversampled to 4K 60p, delivering exceptional sharpness and realism across the full sensor width. Switch to Super 35 for high-speed 4K 120p or FHD 240p slow motion when the action demands it.
Reliable, Flexible Recording
Designed for long shoots, the a7 V features an advanced Sigma-shaped graphite heatsink for consistent thermal performance. Record 10-bit video, 24-bit internal audio, and up to 4-channel audio, with enhanced noise and wind-reduction controls for clean sound in any environment.
Intelligent Stabilization & Framing
Dynamic Active Stabilization combines electronic correction with IBIS for smoother handheld footage. Breathing Compensation minimizes focus shifts, while AI-powered Framing Stabilizer automatically crops and recomposes to keep your subject perfectly centered.
Cinematic Color Control
Achieve beautiful results straight out of camera with S-Cinetone, delivering natural skin tones and soft highlights inspired by Sony Cinema Line cameras. For maximum flexibility, S-Log3 offers 15+ stops of dynamic range, with LUT import support for accurate on-set monitoring.
Refined Viewing & Control
A new 4-axis multi-angle LCD blends tilt and flip-out designs for effortless shooting from any angle, paired with a bright 3.68-million-dot OLED EVF for precise framing and smooth 120 fps viewing.
Pro-Level Connectivity
From a full-size HDMI Type-A port to dual USB-C ports for power, data, and tethering, the a7 V is built for modern workflows. Advanced digital audio support via the Multi Interface Shoe ensures pristine sound capture.
Built to Go Further
Dual card slots, extended battery life, a reinforced magnesium alloy body, improved grip rigidity, and enhanced weather sealing make the a7 V ready for demanding shoots—anywhere, anytime.
Always Connected
High-speed Wi-Fi (5 & 6 GHz), Bluetooth, 4K webcam support, and seamless mobile and desktop integration keep your content moving from capture to share faster than ever.
