BIONZ X processor
Sony proudly introduces the new BIONZ X image processing engine, which
faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the
naked eye, via extra high-speed processing capabilities. Together with
front-end LSI (large scale integration) that accelerates processing in
the earliest stages, it enables more natural details, more realistic
images, richer tonal gradations and lower noise whether you shoot still
images or movies.
Clean HDMI output for 4K movies
Non-compressed image output is now possible at 4K (QFHD; 3840 x 2160
pixels) resolution with selectable 30p and 24p frame rates. You can
choose 4K or Full HD output from a menu. The 4K output capability allows
recording of high-quality 4K images by a 4K-compatible recorder, as
well as 4K output directly to a compatible monitor or TV.
Multiple recording formats
The a7s records in a wide variety of formats convenient for
photographers working at all professional levels. It is compatible with
4K 24p, 30p/Full HD 60p, 60i, 30p, 24p video output and Full-Frame &
APS-C (Super 35mm equivalent) size.
Full-frame filmmaking
Portable moviemaking reaches a new level of flexibility and
attainability with the a7s’s unique combination of 35mm full-frame
sensor, audio production features, and flexible lens interchangeability.
Now, the dramatic effect of beautiful bokeh, plus the artistic choice
of creating a rich cinematic ambience is yours, thanks to the full
frame, P/A/S/M mode, and advanced audio capabilities. The accelerated
BIONZ X image-processing engine enables area-specific noise reduction
and detail reproduction technology to be applied to movies, resulting in
ultra-fine detail and exceptionally low noise. Features like Picture
Effect, full HDMI output for an external monitor, and full 1080p AVCHD
Progressive format plus XAVC S, and the choice of 60p/24p recording
further expand the options.
XAVC S format
The high-bit-rate XAVC S format is provided for serious videographers.
Available for the first time in an a camera, it enables Full HD image
recording at 50Mbps for extremely high-quality expression and minimal
noise. It also employs the Long GOP (Group of Pictures) data compression
method to realize efficient movie recording. Note: Sony recommends
using an SDXC memory card higher than Class 10 when shooting movies in
the XAVC S format.
S-Log2 gamma setting
This proprietary Sony gamma setting, featured in commercial video
equipment, creates a 1,300% wider dynamic range for smooth expression of
gradation with reduced whiteout and blackout. Through color grading in
post production, you can make the most of the low-noise image and
super-rich detail to achieve various types of image expression.
