Key Features
Full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor with 33.0 effective megapixels
AI processing in the new BIONZ XR2 processing engine improves recognition by approximately 30% over the a7 IV. Human pose estimation technology uses detailed form and pose data to achieve reliable human eye recognition as well as body and head position, even with challenging subjects. Multiple subjects can also be recognised, making it possible to track the desired subject.
Real-time Recognition AF: Human pose estimation technology
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.
Shot Marks facilitate still image extraction
The BIONZ XR2 processing engine which integrates the AI processing unit of the latest a series delivers vast improvements in image and sound quality, and overall operation. It incorporates AI-based Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking, plus accurate, stable colour reproduction. In an upgrade from its predecessor, the a7 V includes a lightweight RAW format, while user interface, networking, and file management functions have all been refined.
BIONZ XR2 with integrated AI processing unit
The new 33.0 effective megapixels sensor and BIONZ XR2 processing engine deliver up to 16 stops of dynamic range. Smooth 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.
Excellent image quality
The Creative Look function makes it easy to create visual moods in-camera. 12 presets are provided, including [FL2] and [FL3] selections. The presets can be used as they are or edited to create custom looks. Use seven parameters to adjust contrast, saturation, highlights, shadows and more while viewing the results on the monitor display. Custom Looks can be saved for later use.
Creative Look creates visual moods in-camera
Enjoy improved auto white balance (AWB) performance thanks to deep learning technology for light source colour estimation. The a7 V offers more accurate, stable white balance in settings that can be challenging for conventional AWB systems, such as those that include a mix of skin tones, vegetation, shade and more.

Deep learning-based light source estimation for accurate white balance
Composite RAW shooting automatically captures multiple RAW images that can then be transferred to a computer and composited. The enhanced [NR Shooting] setting produces low-noise images while maintaining high resolution even at mid to high sensitivities. [Shooting for HDR] captures high dynamic range, with options for the simultaneous capture of 4, 8, or 16 images at 30 fps. [1] Composite RAW [Shooting for HDR]
Composite RAW support
The Imaging Edge Desktop application now includes an Extended RAW Processing feature that allows you to take full advantage of the large amount of information in RAW image files for enhanced RAW development, particularly with moving subjects. Use the [Extended NR] for extremely low noise while maintaining full resolution or try [Extended Hi-Res] for 4x the normal pixel count and reduced noise.
Extended RAW Processing offers enhanced RAW development
An advanced optical stabilisation unit, gyro sensors, and algorithm accurately detect and correct image shake. Up to 7.5-step central and 6.5-step peripheral stabilisation allow handheld shooting without the need to boost sensitivity. Take advantage of compatible lenses for better stabilisation, with the camera effectively suppressing shake even when shooting at telephoto focal lengths. [1] Yaw [2] Roll [3] Pitch
5-axis optical stabilisation for up to 7.5-step central and 6.5-step peripheral stabilisation
A lightweight RAW format achieves high image quality in smaller files that are easier to manage. The [Compressed (HQ)] format provides even greater compression in lightweight RAW files while prioritising image quality, and the [Compressed] format allows for extended shooting.
