Screen reader

The Screen Reader function can now be set up via the camera's initial setup display as well as other menus. The Screen Reader function can be activated from the menu [Setup] tab, where volume and reading speed can also be set as required. The Screen Reader function can be quickly turned ON or OFF by long-pressing the [Menu] button. Up to ten languages are supported¹.

Enlarge Screen

Set to your preferred text size

The Enlarge Screen function allows the text in the menu display to be enlarged to 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5 times in its size. It can also be assigned to the C1 button so that the text can be enlarged when necessary.

Eye AF steadily tracks a moving subject’s eyes

Enjoy photography more with dependable autofocus

Cameras with Sony’s unique AI subject recognition capability¹ make it easy to keep things in focus automatically, so you can relax and enjoy taking expressive photos. The camera quickly detects and focuses on the eyes of your subject, steadily tracking even fast-moving subjects.

Easier capture with real-time subject recognition

AI-assisted AF detects form, pose and movement

With its innovative AI processing unit, the α7R V has improved autofocus even further. It uses learned human forms and poses to recognize not only people’s eyes but also their body and head positions, so you can lock onto and track even a subject who is facing away from the camera or wearing a mask.

Recognition of a wider range of subjects

Subject Recognition is compatible with 6 types; [Human], [Animal], [Bird], [Insect], [Car/Train] and [Airplane].

Real-time Tracking function

Follow a moving subject steadily and reliably

Even when you can’t clearly see the subject’s face, Real-time Tracking automatically tracks the subject you specify and keeps it in steady focus, to deliver better portrait shots for example.

Assistance for accurate focusing

Helpful features to make focusing easier

Even under conditions where manual focus can be difficult, the Peaking function makes it easier to check the subject’s focus onscreen by enlarging the image and adding colour to the outline of the focused area. Focus Map makes differences in the depth of field more clearly visible during movie recording.

Extensive customization features

Assign frequently used operations to easy-to-access buttons

The Custom Key function lets you assign a wide range of essential operations to buttons located around the grip. Customize the camera to suit your shooting style and abilities, with easily accessible controls, even when shooting with one hand.

Touch Operations

A simple touch ensures no missed shots

Convenient touch operations let you perform several common operations with just a light fingertip touch, with no need to grip the camera. Touch operations on the monitor let you focus on your subject, trip the shutter, and select a subject for tracking when shooting stills or movies.

4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor offers unprecedented monitoring flexibility

Flexibility for easier selfies, high- and low-angle shots

The α7R V’s 4-axis multi-angle monitor provides unrestricted angle adjustment both horizontally and vertically. This makes it easy to check the image on the LCD panel during or after a shoot regardless of camera placement or orientation, even while you are seated. The vari-angle LCD monitor on other models² opens horizontally for still and video shooting, with similarly easier viewing that makes selfie shots as well as high- and low-angle shots easier to frame.

Shooting grip with mini tripod

Easy operation with either right or left hand

An optional shooting grip with mini-tripod³ will give you a choice of two shooting styles—Grip Style for one-handed operation, where you can access operations with your thumb, or Tripod Style with remote control. Operations include shutter release, pressing the REC button, and zooming in and out.
