- a1 II Mirrorless Camera -

Another leap at the top
The a1 II gives users everything they need to achieve a higher capture success rate and more, including 50MP high resolution, AI-based subject recognition AF, high-speed continuous shooting, and an advanced workflow from capture to delivery that provides professionals with unrivalled efficiency and freedom.

Fast, smart and detailed

A fusion of leading technologies delivers overwhelming performance
The massive volume of data from the approximately 50.1 effective megapixel full frame Exmor RS image sensor is processed in real time by Sony's BIONZ XR image processing engine. An advanced AI processing unit applies high-level subject recognition to reliably recognize a wide range of subjects. These state-of-the-art technologies come together to make it easy to capture even the most challenging subjects in extraordinary resolution, with blackout-free viewing and full AF/AE tracking performance at up to 30 fps.

Advanced AI processing unit for high-level subject recognition
The a1 II features a dedicated AI processing unit that helps to recognize people more accurately based on human pose estimation, and also supports recognition of a wide range of subjects other than people, such as animals, vehicles and insects, with high accuracy. This results in a dramatic improvement in Real-time Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking capability, and higher overall AF performance.

Human eye recognition improved by up to approximately 30%

A wide variety of subjects accurately recognized
A wider variety of subjects is now recognized for stills and movies, with a new [Auto] mode letting the camera select. Recognition of animals overall is improved by approximately 30%, with eyes of some small animals added, and the eyes, heads and faces of animals like dogs and cats recognized. Recognition of birds is improved by 50%.

AF tracking response settable to match subject speed changes
Fast Hybrid AF provides 7596 phase-detection points for tenacious tracking and pinpoint focusing, now with adjustable tracking response speed, useful for example in bird photography, and in light levels down to EV-4.07 in AF-S mode.

Flexible focus area settings
XL and XS focus area spot sizes are now available as well as L, M, and S. XS can be useful to avoid focusing on foreground objects such as branches. It is also possible to create a custom focus area of specified size and aspect ratio.

Selectable release time lag
Selectable release time lag modes are available via the [Release Lag] / [Start Display] menu. With blackout occurring on only the first image in a continuous burst, [Fastest Release/On] provides the shortest possible release time lag, while [Stable Release/On] minimizes variations in release time lag making it easier to release the shutter at the intended moment. The default [Auto/Off] setting gives no blackout when shooting is started.

High-speed continuous shooting at full 50.1 MP resolution
High-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with full AF/AE tracking is possible at 50.1 MP resolution, with up to 120 AF/AE calculations per second9. Blackout-free shooting with no loss of viewfinder image allows seamless framing and capture of the subject as if viewed with the naked eye.

More control over timing to capture decisive moments
Pre-capture retroactively captures moments that occurred before the shutter was released without compromising resolution, even when shooting continuously at up to 30 fps with selectable recording time options. Continuous Shooting Speed Boost can temporarily change the burst speed. Both features reduce the chance of missing that vital instant.

Stunning high resolution

Extraordinary detail with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels
Sony's extensive high-performance G Master line work with the 50.1 megapixel Exmor RS image sensor and BIONZ XR image processing engine to create deep, lifelike, high-resolution rendering. The sensor's high pixel count means that resolution is still a very impressive 21 megapixels when shooting in APS-C mode or cropping to APS-C size after shooting.

Selectable RAW image size and quality
Compressed RAW images can be continuously shot at up to 30 fps. For easier handling, as well as L, Lossless Compressed RAW, JPEG and HEIF images are also available in M and S sizes with the same numbers of pixels whether shot in full-frame or APS-C mode, enabling seamless mode switching while maintaining resolution.

High sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range
Feedback from professionals has been taken into account to create noise reduction that is highly effective without sacrificing image detail, so users can shoot clear images of indoor sports at mid to high sensitivity without hesitation. Dynamic range at lower sensitivities is a wide 15 stops for smooth, realistic gradations. Consistently accurate exposure and color Exposure and color reproduction are notably improved compared to the a1, with exposure optimized for detected faces in stills and movies, and exposure stability improved by approximately 20% even when the face is backlit, over-illuminated in sunlight, or not facing the camera. White balance is accurate even for subjects in shade.

Optical 5-axis image stabilization achieves 8.5-step performance at the center
A high-precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimized algorithms detect and correct camera shake, for a groundbreaking 8.5-step effect at the center and 7.0-step at the periphery, and capture of fine details even when shooting handheld. Synchronization with compatible lenses provides further blur control even at telephoto focal lengths.

Composite RAW modes for lower noise and higher resolution
Two composite RAW shooting modes are available. The NR Shooting Settings mode captures between 4 and 32 RAW images that can be composited to create a full-resolution image with very low noise even at mid to high sensitivities. Pixel Shift Multi Shooting captures 4 or 16 pixel-shifted images that are composited to achieve overwhelmingly high resolution in a single image. In both cases the compositing operations are performed using Sony's Imaging Edge Desktop PC application.

Advanced movie functionality

Real-time Recognition AF for movies
Real-time Recognition AF utilizes advanced AI-based human pose estimation technology that recognizes and tracks not just eyes, but body and head position for human subjects with high precision. The range of subjects recognized with AI assistance, for both movies and stills, has been expanded relative to the a1, and now includes birds in movies for example. Other subjects are acquired and tracked in real time by processing color, pattern, and spatial data.
