Compatible with 4D FOCUS on-chip phase detection, with wide-range, high-speed, high-precision, and high-tracking AF. Next-generation 8K 30p high-definition video recording with overwhelming resolution and immersive realism / [ILCE1]ILCE12 Released in March 2021. 35mm full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor Exmor RS with built-in memory and approximately 50.1 effective megapixels. This camera employs a newly developed full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor with built-in memory and approximately 50.1 effective megapixels, which combines high resolution and impressive speed at a high level. The high-speed signal processing circuitry is significantly expanded by stacking the circuitry on a separate layer from the pixel area. It also employs an A/D conversion method revamped from the α9 II. The combination of a stacked structure and a new A/D conversion method allows the massive output signals read from the pixel area to be temporarily stored in the on-board memory, enabling high-speed processing without signal congestion. The result is a new era of performance, including a maximum 30fps high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking (1.5x faster than the α9 II) with a large data capacity of 50.1 megapixels (approximately twice that of the α9 II), high-speed and high-precision on-chip phase-detection AF, and a first for the α series: high-quality 8K video recording with minimal distortion thanks to full-frame 8.6K oversampling. The BIONZ XRα1 employs a revolutionary new, forward-looking architecture, similar to the α7S III, with a completely redesigned system hardware configuration. Processing power has been improved throughout, from image capture to various signal processing operations. By consolidating real-time processing such as AF, image recognition, image quality adjustment, and development, which previously were handled by the high-performance BIONZ X image processing engine and front-end LSI, into the new BIONZ XR image processing engine, we have reduced processing latency and significantly improved video and still image processing capabilities. Additionally, by distributing media processing loads such as user interface, network, and file management, we have achieved smooth operational response regardless of the real-time processing load. In addition to the faster system, we have also tuned it to process high-resolution data at high speed, enabling continuous shooting of over 165 still images with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels at 30 frames per second, or over 1,000 frames at 15 frames per second. Furthermore, menu operations immediately after continuous shooting have become more comfortable and smoother, allowing for setting changes. Approximately 50.1 effective megapixel stacked image sensor x 30 fps continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking. Achieving a new level of both overwhelming speed and high resolution. The image sensor's incredibly fast readout speed enables high-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with AF/AE tracking (when using the electronic shutter) with the massive data size of approximately 50.1 effective megapixels full-frame. Capture split-second movements between frames that previously were missed with greater certainty. Thanks to the increased memory capacity and faster system, continuous shooting at 30 fps achieves approximately 165 JPEG frames or approximately 155 compressed RAW frames, and at 20 fps, approximately 400 JPEG frames. Whether shooting sports or wildlife, you can confidently capture the perfect moment. 4D FOCUS: Supports on-chip phase-detection AF for wide-area, high-speed, high-precision, and high-tracking AF. [WIDE] 759 phase-detection AF points are densely arranged across almost the entire image sensor's imaging area (approximately 92%). A new image processing engine, superior for real-time processing, analyzes the image sensor's vast subject information with high precision and density. The Fast Hybrid AF system combines phase-detection AF, offering excellent speed and tracking, with high-precision contrast AF, to quickly capture and tenaciously track even complex or fast-moving subjects. The contrast AF area is 425 points. [FAST] The Fast Hybrid AF system combines phase-detection AF, offering excellent speed and tracking, with high-precision contrast AF, to instantly capture fast-moving subjects. [STEADFAST] AF tracking with a maximum calculation speed of 120 times per second, twice as fast as the α9 II, and an AF algorithm specifically tuned for this camera further improves tracking stability and precision for subjects with rapid changes in speed or difficult framing. Equipped with "Real-Time Tracking" utilizing AI. Simply select the subject you want to track and half-press the shutter button to let the camera automatically track it. Sony's unique object recognition algorithm enables high-speed real-time processing of spatial information consisting of color, pattern (brightness), and subject distance (depth). By turning on Face/Eye Priority during AF, the camera continuously detects the subject's face and eye information (people, animals, birds) using AI for highly accurate subject recognition. The focus frame seamlessly changes to the face or eyes depending on the subject's condition. The α1 features the new BIONZ XR image processing engine, improving information processing capabilities. Furthermore, with AF/AE tracking calculations at 120 times per second, it tracks the target subject with even more tenacity than the previous model (α9 II). It can keep track of the player even in difficult situations, such as indoor ball games with close seating.
