Released in December 2024. *Lens not included. Purchase separately. A full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels and built-in memory that delivers both high resolution and speed at a high level. Not only does it deliver outstanding resolution, but it also boasts a wide dynamic range of approximately 15 stops at low sensitivities. Designed to meet the needs of professional photographers, it delivers ease of use and reliability that supports comfortable shooting. [ILCE1M2] ILCE1M2 Released in December 2024. A 35mm full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels and built-in memory, Exmor R. This newly developed full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels and built-in memory delivers both high resolution and impressive speed at a high level. By stacking the circuitry on a separate layer from the pixel area, the high-speed signal processing circuitry has been significantly expanded. The massive output signals rapidly read from the pixel area can be temporarily stored in the built-in memory, enabling high-speed processing without signal congestion. This allows for unparalleled performance, including high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking at up to 30 frames per second with a large 50.1-megapixel data capacity, high-speed, highly accurate on-chip phase-detection AF, and high-quality 8K video recording with minimal distortion thanks to full-frame 8.6K oversampling.
BIONZ XR Image Processing Engine with High Processing Power: The BIONZ XR image processing engine delivers high-speed processing power. The massive amounts of data obtained from the full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor, Exmor RS™, with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels, are processed in real time by the BIONZ XR image processing engine. This enables blackout-free AF/AE tracking at up to 120 times per second, tracking complex movements, and shooting at up to approximately 30 frames per second, meeting the speed demanded by professionals.
AI Processing Unit for Advanced Subject Recognition: The α1 II is equipped with an AI Processing Unit. AI processing, including deep learning, not only recognizes people based on details such as their bone structure and posture, but also supports highly accurate recognition of other subjects, such as animals, insects, and vehicles.* This improves the performance of Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking, enabling more accurate subject recognition and tracking AF shooting. *Recognition modes available in the camera settings are Auto, People, Animals/Birds, Animals, Birds, Insects, Cars/Trains, and Airplanes. Subject recognition may not always be consistent with the settings.
Overwhelming Resolution of Approximately 50.1 Effective Megapixels High resolution performance is achieved through efficient noise processing, inheriting the high-resolution philosophy of the α7R series. Approximately 21 megapixels of resolution is maintained not only when shooting in full-frame, but also when shooting in APS-C mode and cropping to APS-C mode after shooting. Furthermore, the number of phase-difference AF points remains unchanged in APS-C mode. Wide sensitivity range: standard ISO 100-32000, extended ISO 50-102400. Despite its high pixel count, Sony's image sensor technologies, including the high sensitivity characteristics of the back-illuminated structure, gapless on-chip lens structure, and AR coating (anti-reflective coating) on ​​the sealing glass, combine to deliver high-quality images with minimal noise and high resolution across a wide sensitivity range: standard ISO 100-32000, extended ISO 50-102400. Furthermore, in response to professional feedback, effective noise reduction is achieved without sacrificing detail. Capture clear images of indoor sports and other events without hesitation, even at medium and high sensitivities. Immersive and realistic 8K video recording: Record 8K (7680x4320) 30p video using the XAVC HS format. 8.6K oversampling delivers stunning, realistic resolution. The combination of excellent AF performance and excellent gradation and color reproduction delivers the visual expression you expect from high-resolution 8K. In post-production, 8K footage can be cut for flexible 4K editing. It also supports 8K 4:2:2 10-bit recording.
The camera features Sony's unique 4-axis LCD monitor for enhanced shooting flexibility. It combines the convenience of both tilt and horizontal-opening vari-angle monitors, allowing you to freely adjust the angle for optimal viewing in either landscape or portrait orientation. The monitor can be pulled out toward you and tilted approximately 98 degrees upward and 40 degrees downward relative to the rear of the camera, or opened 180 degrees horizontally. The hinge section is also compact yet durable. Furthermore, the camera features a large, high-definition, 3.2-inch LCD panel (3:2 aspect ratio) with approximately 2.1 million dots. The touch-sensitive, high-definition, wide-color gamut (DCI-P3 equivalent) LCD panel ensures excellent visibility even when shooting outdoors. High-performance electronic viewfinder with wide field of view, resolution, and speed. The electronic viewfinder features a high-resolution OLED display with approximately 9.44 million dots, and is equipped with an excellent eyepiece optics and mechanism. Its viewfinder magnification of 0.90x, approximately 41-degree viewing angle for a clear view of the entire viewfinder display area, and a high eyepoint of 25mm provide a clear view of every corner. Furthermore, a unique optical design method reduces aberrations that cause distortion when the focus point moves within the viewfinder screen, enabling stable image quality and comfortable viewfinder shooting. Furthermore, the viewfinder display time lag during continuous shooting is reduced, allowing for stable framing.
