THE NEED FOR SPEED
Sony’s Alpha 1 packs speed and resolution into a compact, uncompromising package
The most technologically advanced camera Sony has ever released, the Alpha 1 features the 30 fps speed of a sports camera, the 50MP of a landscape camera and the 8K skills of a video camera. This plethora of features enables users to capture fast-moving objects that have previously proved elusive.
Boasting the world’s fastest mechanical shutter flash sync with speeds of up 1/400 seconds, the Alpha 1 also features anti-flicker shooting with its mechanical and electronic shutter in another world first. High speed readout from the 50.1-megapixel image sensor and a large buffer memory make it possible to shoot up to 155 full-frame compressed RAW images or 165 full-frame JPEG images at up to 30 frames per second.
For the first time in an Alpha camera, the Alpha 1 offers 8K 30p 10-bit 4:2:0 XAVC HS recording with 8.6K oversampling, while its 8K footage can also be used for flexible 4K editing during post-production. Combined with Sony’s acclaimed autofocus technology, gradation and colour reproduction performance, the Alpha 1 helps photo & video journalists and dedicated amateur snappers alike realise their creative vision. sony.com
