Sony Alpha ILCE-7RM5 Full-Frame High Resolution 61 MP Camera

The evolution of resolution

The α7R V features a new dedicated AI processing unit for improved subject recognition and remarkable still image quality resolution.

Newly developed AI processing unit

A whole new level of camera intelligence

State-of-the-art AI processing uses detailed information about human forms and postures to dramatically improve the camera's subject recognition accuracy2 and make full use of its potential resolution. Also, subject recognition has been expanded to include a number of new subject types, including vehicles and insects.

AI-driven performance

AI processing unit for advanced subject recognition

The α7R V is equipped with an AI processing unit specifically dedicated to processing significant amounts of data to enable more accurate recognition of subjects and recognition of a wider range of subject types.

Human pose estimation

The α7R V uses subject form data to recognize movement, providing a roughly 60% improvement in human eye recognition2. Human pose estimation uses learned human forms and postures to precisely recognize not just eyes, but body and head position, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask, for example.

Recognizes a wider range of subjects

In addition to humans, animals and birds, the camera now recognizes insects, cars, trains and airplanes3, providing even greater flexibility and reliability when shooting both stills and movies. Heads and bodies are now recognized in addition to eyes (Real-time Eye AF) for the Human, Animal, and Bird settings.

Improved accuracy of WB control

The α7R V's AWB function has evolved in tandem with the camera's AI capabilities. In addition to the "Visible Light + IR sensor" on the front of the body, the camera's AI processing unit helps to achieve more accurate white balance in difficult lighting, such as when the subject is in shadow.

Extraordinary resolution

A new high in α resolution2

The output from the 35mm full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS image sensor, with approximately 61.0 million effective pixels3, is processed in real time to the fullest extent by the advanced BIONZ XR™ processing engine to deliver breathtaking detail in both stills and movies.

Next-generation AF

Real-time Recognition AF

The α7R V's AF system delivers dramatically enhanced overall performance, drawing on major improvements in subject recognition performance. Deep learning technology supports powerful Real-time Recognition AF as well as more reliable Real-time Tracking2 which is supported by higher Fast Hybrid AF performance over a wider area.

Movies with spectacular detail and presence

High quality 8K movie recording 2

The XAVC HS format enables in-camera recording of high-resolution, high-quality 8K (7680 x 4320) 24p (25p)2 movies with efficient HEVC/H.265 compression, bringing out the very best in Sony's lenses and taking full advantage of the resolution provided by the sensor and full-pixel readout. Even the finest subject details are faithfully captured.

Outstanding 4K movie recording up to 60p(50p)3

Full frame and Super 35mm formats can be selected for 4K movie recording. Full pixel readout in the Super 35mm mode without the need for pixel binning4 makes 2.6x oversampling possible for 4K movies5. The XAVC S-I (All-Intra) or the XAVC HS format is supported, with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling.

Expressive S-Cinetone™

Based on the technology of CineAlta™ cameras such as the acclaimed VENICE, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin tones, plus soft colors and gorgeous highlights. 

S-Log3 gamma curve with 14+ stops6 of latitude

The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-gray (18% gray), achieving up to 14+ stops6 of latitude for efficient editing.

Real-time Tracking for movies

Thanks to improvements in subject recognition, Real-time Tracking is now even better, automatically tracking specified subjects with precise focus, including focus on the subject's eyes7.
