Sony’s Alpha 7R V camera delivers high-resolution imaging experience with AI-based autofocus

Sony announced the Alpha 7R V (model ILCE-7RM5) as the newest R series camera in its acclaimed line of Alpha mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The Alpha 7R V combines Sony’s highest resolution image sensor with a new artificial intelligence processing unit dedicated to AIbased image recognition — a first in any Alpha camera — as well as the powerful Bionz XR image processing engine — a first in the “R” full-frame lineup. The combination of the high-resolution sensor and these processors enables new breakthroughs in subject recognition and capture for both still photography and video.

The new Alpha 7R V offers 61 MP still images plus the most effective eight-step image stabilization system ever offered in any of Sony’s Alpha cameras, as well as refined 8K movie output, a new four-axis multi-angle monitor, high-speed communication functions, highlevel operability and smooth workflow integration. Sony’s newest camera is ideal for professionals who need a first-class high-resolution imaging tool.

The Alpha 7R V features Realtime Recognition AF, which is next-generation AF with advanced accuracy and broader subject recognition thanks to a new AI processing unit with deep learning. The state-of-the-art AI processing uses detailed information about human form and pose estimation to dramatically improve recognition accuracy beyond systems that only detect face and eye and make full use of its potential. Real-time Recognition AF, using AI subject recognition, has been developed to include several subject types, including animals, vehicles and insects. The Alpha 7R V also includes continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with AF/AE tracking.

In addition to the advanced AI technology, the Alpha 7R V includes improvement to many beloved features from other cameras in Sony’s Alpha series that are now included for the first time in Sony’s 7R series:

•Tenacious

real-time tracking •Faster

and more precise widearea, high-density AF system •Silent,

vibration-free shooting at up to 7 fps

•Continuously

shoot up to 583 compressed RAW images at high speed

The Alpha 7R V also includes focus features that support high resolution including full-time direct manual focus, and focus bracketing, a highly requested capability that allows for focus stacked images.
