 It is possible to record up to UHD 4K with frame rates up to 120p, using full pixel readout without clustering. Internal 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling is also possible in all recording modes and, if recording externally via the full-size HDMI A port, 16-bit raw output is also possible for even greater tonal reproduction and post-production flexibility.

 The a1 employs a pair of codecs to suit different workflows: XAVC HS, which uses HEVC/H.265 encoding to retain more detail at smaller bit rates and XAVC SI, which is an intraframe codec for consistent performance and quality at bitrates up to 600 Mb/s.

 High-speed recording at 120fps also enables 4x and 5x slow-motion movie recording with frame rate playback set to 30p or 24p or, if downgraded to Full HD resolution, an effective frame rate of 240p is also available for even greater movement. control.

 No recording time limit allows unlimited clip lengths and the camera's physical design features an improved heat dissipation structure to promote longer recording times; more than 30 minutes for 8K 30p or 4K 60p videos, or recordings made at 10-bit 4:2:0.

 S-Cinetone can be used to deliver distinct colours and healthy-looking skin tone reproduction to match FX9 and FX6 cameras and is based on Cinema Line professional camera technology such as VENICE. This colour profile offers natural mid-tones, soft colours and particularly well-controlled highlights.

 With extensive customizable color and gamma controls, you can adjust gamma, black level, knee, color level, and more. In addition,  SONY A1 also includes the same S-Log2 gamma curve found in high-end SONY Cinema cameras that squeezes up to 1300% more dynamic range into the video signal than the traditional REC709, for greater post-production flexibility.

 HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support is also available, along with the BT.2020 colour space, for recording within a wide colour gamut and, in addition to S-Log2, the A1+24-70mm GM II SONY includes the S-Log3  to produce a stop of over 15 dynamic range with greater gradation control in the shadow to mid-tone regions of the  image.

• Fast hybrid AF system

 Covering 92% of the image area, a fast hybrid AF system incorporates 759 phase detection points along with 425 contrast detection areas for fast and accurate focusing in a variety of lighting conditions with a sensitivity down to -6 EV. This focusing system is available for use in all recording modes, to benefit both video and still image applications.

 Lock subjects quickly using real-time tracking for AI-based tracking of moving subjects or touch tracking for manual subject selection.

 Real-time Eye AF, suitable for both humans and animals, also ensures critical sharpness when taking portraits.

 Bird mode with dedicated real-time eye AF allows you to select the bird to be tracked and the camera will automatically detect the bird's eye and track it, regardless of whether the bird is in flight or still. This mode works even once a perched bird takes flight.

 To help fine-tune the performance of the focusing system, the seven-stop AF transition speed and five-stop AF subject change sensitivity controls allow you to refine how quickly focus shifts from point to point and how smoothly focus changes occur.

• 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization

 The enhanced 5-axis 5-stop SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system compensates for the five different types of camera shake encountered during manual photo and video shooting and allows users to confidently use any lens, even adapted lenses, for critical shots without encountering camera blur shaking.

 For long focal lengths, the system will correct the pitch and yaw settings. Macro and high-magnification images, on the other hand, will benefit from the inclusion of horizontal and vertical scroll compensation. All shooting styles will take advantage of roll compensation. The 5-axis stabilization will work at all times, even when used with third-party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilization.

 In addition, specifically for video, there is also an Active IS mode that adds even more precise stabilization methods for even smoother images directly from the camera.

Multi-shooting with pixel shift

This unique composition mode allows you to achieve an even higher resolution than that offered by the 50.1MP sensor. Working in conjunction with sensor shift image stabilization, this mode switches the sensor while performing 16 consecutive exposures to acquire approximately 199 MP of information for greater color accuracy and detail than is possible with a single exposure. These files can be combined during post-production using the SONY Imaging software package.
