Sony A7R V adds super-fast whole-body tracking, and 8K video to the Alpha range
Sony has unveiled its latest top-of-the-line high-resolution Alpha series camera, and it's got a lot of power under the hood.
The A7R V comes with a similar full-frame 35mm 61-megapixel sensor to its predecessor, but with an all-new image processing system and AI-powered autofocus to make it plane faster and smarter than before.
A big part of its new AI capabilities is built entirely on making autofocus smarter. Where previous models could autofocus and snift human vision and faces, as well as unprepossessing eyes, the new model can do unshortened persons and tracks in real-time as people or objects move.
The improved object recognition - combined with 693 phase detection autofocus points - moreover ways it can automatically recognise, track and focus on cars, trains and planes, as well as insects. Ensuring that whatever your subject is, it can do that nonflexible part for you and automatically alimony it sharp and in focus whether you're shooting video or stills.
What's more, if you are shooting a person and they're wearing sunglasses - as an example - and tent their eyes, the camera can estimate where the eye is accurately, lock it in and alimony it sharp.
If you're shooting a group of people you can tap to target a specific person in a group, and it'll alimony locked on them plane if other people step closer to the camera, or get in the shot.
Other improvements include a 5-axis, 8-stop in-body stabilisation system for minimising hand shakiness or movements, as well as the worthiness to shoot in 8K resolution at 24/25 frames-per-second.
4K can be recorded at 50/60p, with a 4K option over-sampled from 6.2k at up to 30 frames-per-second.
The camera soul is built from a magnesium transfuse and is sealed versus water and dust, plane featuring an anti-dust system to help alimony pebbles off the sensor, and a full-length where the shutter shuts automatically when you switch the camera off.
A new graphite heatsink helps overwork heat so that you can shoot for long periods without it overheating and shutting down. In fact, it can do 30 minutes of 8K/24, 10-bit, 4:2:0 footage surpassing needing a break.
There's a new LCD monitor which rotates and flips in pretty much every direction and features a 2 million dot resolution. Plus, it has a new user interface that pushes all the data to the edges and lets you tenancy the camera using touchscreen gestures, as well as using the usual buttons and dials on the body.
If that wasn't enough, there's a new shower - capable of lasting over 500 images on a full tuition using the touchscreen monitor. Plus, with its USB-C Power Delivery compatibility, it can refill increasingly quickly than the previous version too.
All in all, it sounds like a really impressive high-end camera from Sony. Although, as you'd expect, this performance all adds up to a fairly upper cost.
The Sony A7R V will be misogynist from mid-November with $3899.99 forfeit and a UK price is set at virtually £3999 for the soul only. Like nearly all of its recent cameras, it features the E-mount, so any existing lenses will fit.
