The Sony a7 V is a full-frame mirrorless camera sold with the FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II lens. It is the first Sony camera with a partially stacked sensor, a 33MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor. Compared with the a7 IV, it reads out faster and shows less rolling shutter. It offers 16 stops of dynamic range, a native ISO range of 100-51200 and a top electronic shutter speed of 1/16,000 sec.
A BIONZ XR2 processor with an AI unit supports autofocus, color accuracy and auto white balance consistency from frame to frame. It enables blackout-free continuous shooting at 30 fps with full-time AF and AE. It also records 7K-oversampled 4K 60p video, and 4K 120p video using a S35 area.
The 759-point phase-detection AF system covers about 94% of the sensor area and focuses down to -4 EV. A dedicated AI Processing Unit detects and tracks humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and airplanes. The camera recognizes animals and birds 30-50% faster than the a7 IV. Human pose estimation tracks body and head positions for focus in portraits and sports.
