The Sony alpha 1 II is the new full-frame mirrorless flagship offering unmatched versatility for professional photographers and video creators who demand the absolute best in image quality, speed, and reliability.

High frame rate 4K recording at up to 120p

4K can be recorded at up to 120p right in the camera. 4K footage can be played back in up to 5x slow motion. The Slow & Quick Motion (S&Q) mode makes it convenient to play recorded footage back at slow or high speed in the camera. Full HD footage recorded at 240 fps offers even greater range: up to 10x slow motion (24p) to create impressive sports movies, for example. The frame rate setup menu allows intuitive selection of frame rates.

Better S-Log matching with Cinema Line cameras

The S-Log3 gamma curve emphasises gradation characteristics from shadows to mid-grey. Minimum ISO when shooting S-Log3 is 800, while the expanded ISO range is 200 - 640. Compared to the alpha 1, detail reproduction has been improved and matching with S-Log3 output from Sony’s cinema cameras is easier. User LUTs can also be imported into the camera for preview.

Human eye recognition improved by up to approximately 30%

Real-time Recognition AF has improved human eye recognition by approximately 30%, with human pose estimation improving recognition of subjects facing away from the camera, wearing sunglasses, or with the face obscured. Recognition of distant human subjects occupying only a small part of the frame has been notably improved, and subjects can be tracked better across occlusions.

A wide variety of subjects accurately recognised

A wider variety of subjects is now recognised 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 recognised. Recognition of birds is improved by 50%.

AF tracking response settable to match subject speed changes

Fast Hybrid AF provides 7500+ 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.

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.

Optical 5-axis image stabilisation achieves 8.5-step performance at the centre

A high-precision image stabilisation unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimised algorithms detect and correct camera shake, for a groundbreaking 8.5-step effect at the centre and 7.0-step at the periphery, and capture of fine details even when shooting handheld. Synchronisation with compatible lenses provides further blur control even at telephoto focal lengths.
