Built for Professional Demands

• New NP-SA100 high-capacity battery (2670 mAh) supports up to 710 still images via LCD monitor or 600 via viewfinder (CIPA standard), reducing battery changes during extended shoots⁽⁷⁾

• Approximately 9.44M dot OLED viewfinder with a DCI-P3 equivalent colour gamut and 10-bit HDR—maximum brightness is approximately three times higher than conventional models5 for clear visibility in bright environments

• Effective heat management allows uninterrupted 8K movie recording up to 120 min⁽⁸⁾

• Dual USB Type-C^🄬 ports for simultaneous charging and data transfer; illuminated rear buttons for low-light operation

• Magnesium alloy for a lightweight and durable body; 4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor for flexible shooting angles; mode-dial “Memory Recall” links shooting setups to customizable buttons⁽⁹⁾

• Supports Sony’s Camera Authenticity Solution, including the C2PA standard, enabling verification that still images and videos were captured with a camera (not AI-generated)

Professional Video

• 8K 30p recording with 8.2K oversampling⁽¹⁰⁾ and full frame 4K 60p and 120p recording without crop⁽¹¹⁾

• Dual Gain Shooting, a first in the Alpha series⁽¹²⁾, optimizes sensor performance to reduce noise losing shadow detail for smooth gradation and wide latitude

• Redesigned in-camera stabilization expands the roll-direction compensation range by 2x5; Dynamic active Mode⁽¹³⁾ delivers smooth and steady handheld

• 32-bit float audio internal recording in camera when paired with the XLR-A4 XLR adaptor, eliminating the need for fine adjustment on location⁽¹⁴⁾

Key Features of the XLR-A4 XLR Adaptor

• Supports in-camera digital audio recording with up to 4-channel; XLR microphones, such as the ECM-778 (up to 2ch), and connects 3.5 mm stereo mini jack microphones (2ch stereo) via the Multi Interface (MI) Shoe

• Dual AD converters digitize microphone signals across a wide dynamic range, capturing quiet ambience through loud action with clarity²

• Records digital audio at up to 96kHz 32-bit float 4ch on compatible cameras2, fully leveraging high-end XLR microphone quality. The 32-bit float format eliminates the need for fine gain adjustment on location, significantly reducing the risk of audio distortion¹⁴
