The Alpha
7S III delivers stunning 4K video quality without any compromise.
The camera boasts a 12.1-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS
image sensor that provides outstanding performance at high sensitivities
expandable to ISO 409,600 and minimized rolling shutter effects. Its full-pixel readout also enables ultra-sharp and clean video without a crop. In 4K/60p mode
the camera can record for more than an hour[i]
while in slow motion, 4K/120p and Full HD/240p are also available. Internally,
the camera records 10-bit footage with 4:2:2 color subsampling; it can also
output 16-bit RAW data to a compatible recorder over HDMI. It lets you frame
and monitor your subject perfectly with the 3.0 type side flip LCD screen and
an industry-leading 9.44 million- dot OLED electronic viewfinder. Finally,
achieve optimum video workflow with S-Cinetone included[ii],
full HDMI connectivity for both recording and processing video, tenacious AF
with Sony’s unique Real-time tracking, and Eye AF technology ideal for
solo-shooting or small-scale production.
This extremely
compact large-aperture ultra-wide angle prime lens combines Sony’s latest
optical design achievements and manufacturing techniques into a rectilinear
14mm F/1.8 lens that is as easy to carry in the field as it is to use in
studio. The compact size and weight, however, do not compromise high image
quality or reliability needed for challenging conditions. Sony’s FE 14mm
F1.8 GM performs impressively well for landscapes, nightscapes,
architecture and videography. The 9-blade aperture and XA lens elements
contribute to attractive bokeh, whilst the XD Linear Motors provide fast and
accurate autofocus.
Xperia 1 III is co-developed with the engineers behind Alpha series cameras, renowned for their industry-leading autofocus technology. The model includes fast, accurate continuous AF across all lenses and Real-time Eye AF. Furthermore, the Xperia 1 III features the world’s first Variable telephoto lens paired with a Dual-PD Sensor[i] and 4K HDR OLED 120Hz Refresh rate display.[ii]
Xperia 1 III
presents a more sophisticated feature set for photographers who strive for
picture perfect results. Xperia 1 III features Real-time
Tracking, allowing users to shoot the most challenging moving
subjects in precise focus[iii].
Using AI-based algorithms and the 3D iToF sensor to measure distance, Real-time
Tracking can accurately detect and focus on a subject and continue to track it
even if it temporarily moves out of sight. This is further complemented by the
world´s first smartphone with a Variable telephoto lens paired with a Dual PD
sensor that reaches up to a 105mm focal length – assisted by fast autofocus
thanks to the Dual PD sensor. When switching between 70mm and 105mm[iv],
the focus is adjusted in an instant to swiftly capture the beauty in the
detail. Xperia 1 III can also reach focal lengths of 16mm and 24mm for more
creative flexibility in shooting.
In addition to
its superior camera functionality, Xperia 1 III provides a rich collation of
integrated features that connect the Xperia community with its passions. Whether they are photographers,
audiophiles, cinephiles, gamers or cinematographers alike, the next generation
of Xperia 1 series enriches the user experience with its plethora of new
multimedia features – including full stage stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone
jack, 360 Reality Audio[v], as well and new and improved Game
Enhancer features.
The VPL-VW590ES 1,800lm native 4K lamp projector is a true home cinema all-rounder, delivering the 4K clarity, deep contrast and bright accurate colors expected from high end home cinema projectors. It offers an incredibly clear HDR experience by implementing picture processor “X1™ for projector”, based on technology used for Sony’s TVs optimized for projection image characteristics. Watch 4K HDR content as the creator intended with the ‘Dynamic HDR Enhancer’ featured with the “X1™ for projector” which optimizes HDR image quality through dynamic tone mapping. Dynamic range is extended through deepening black levels through precision light source dimming, whilst simultaneously boosting highlights, all on a frame-by-frame basis.
