Sony’s Alpha 7R Series is basically a master photography machine. Launched as the successor to the A7R IV, the Sony Alpha 7R V comes with a 61MP full-frame Exmor R sensor and AI autofocus. In this article, we’ll get to the specs, features, and price of the Sony Alpha 7R V in Nepal.
Sony Alpha 7R V Overview:
Camera Sensor
Sony has retained the 61MP Exmor R full-frame sensor on the Alpha 7R V. Accompanying the lens is the latest BIONZ XR processing engine for improved color reproduction and texture rendering by up to 8 times. The 35mm sensor is back-side illuminated (BSI) for improved low-light photography.
Talking of its videography aspects, this camera can capture up to 8K res videos at 25p with a modest crop at 1.2x 10bit 4:2:2 quality. Likewise, it also supports 4K/30/25/24p and 1080/120p recording with no crop.
Handling the stabilization here is a 5-Axis Image Stabilization. Other attributes include 16-bit RAW output, S-Cinetone profile, breathing compensation, focus map, and Active+ stabilization.
Design
As for the design, Sony hasn’t made drastic changes here. It is visually identical to its predecessor. The new A7R V is a bit thicker though due to its 4-axis LCD display with a 2095K dot resolution screen. Likewise, there is a new heat dissipation structure to keep the thermals in check while video recording and burst shooting.
The A7R V boasts a closed shutter mechanism protected by a cover when turned off. While Sony claims a 500,000-frame shutter life on this camera.
Autofocus
The new A7R V has improved AI autofocus. There is a 693 on-sensor phase-detection AF points that cover 79% of the image frame. As compared to the R IV’s EV-3, it can focus down to EV-4. What’s even more interesting is the new AI deep learning which can now also detect a human through pose, eyes, and face. For reference, the A7R IV could only do that with human eyes and faces.
Other Specs
The camera features Dual Slot for CFexpress Type-A/SD(UHS-II) cards. The camera also supports USB PD, allowing users to charge the device even while using it. Talking of the ports options, you get 1 x HDMI output, 1 x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Stereo Headphone Output, 1 x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Stereo Microphone Input, 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 / 3.1 Gen 2) Data Output, 1 x USB-C, 1 x PC Sync Socket Output, and 1 x Sony Multi/Micro-USB (USB 2.0).
