Sony a7 V triumphs over the previous model, introducing new powerful technologies such as a BIONZ XR2 processing engine, the latest in AI advancements, and outstanding low light and challenging lighting performance. a7 V integrates a high-resolution sensor with groundbreaking processing power and artificial intelligence, setting a new benchmark for speed and versatility in professional imaging. At the core of the system is a 33.0 MP full-frame partially stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, engineered to deliver stunning detail and rapid data readout. This sensor works in concert with the newly developed BIONZ XR2 image processing engine, which incorporates built-in AI for dramatically improved subject recognition and overall speed.
Photographers can achieve exceptional dynamic range of up to 16 stops for stills, capturing detail in both extreme highlights and deep shadows. New features like Composite RAW shooting for HDR and noise reduction allow the camera to merge multiple frames in-camera for superior final image quality, while Extended RAW Processing on PC offers high-resolution output via external software for maximum flexibility. The introduction of a new lightweight RAW format helps manage file sizes without compromising quality.

- The key upgrades in Version II of this lens relate to autofocus, including a focusing system that now supports AF-C while continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking at up to 120 fps. This is ideal for the fastest burst shooting and high-speed/slow-motion video recording.
- For more dynamic focus and zoom pulls, this lens also now supports AF tracking while zooming.
- An internal focus mechanism and linear motor contribute to faster, more responsive performance and easier handling.
- Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.
- Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.
- One extra-low dispersion glass element is featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
- Three aspherical elements are incorporated in the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
