CONFIRMED: The new Sony A7rV has 8 stop IBIS and a fully articulating LCD screen!
I was now able to triple confirm two more specs of the new A7rV that is going to be announced on October 26:
- The A7rV has a newly designed stabilization system that indeed offers up to 8stops image stabilization!
- The A7rV also has a fully articulating LCD screen
For me the addition of those two features alone makes the A7rV a worthy upgrade of my current A7rIV. Stabilization was always seen as a imitating factor of the Full Frame E-mount system compared ot the competition. It was rumored that Sony could never cath up with he competition because of the narrower mouton diameter. Well, it seem this was a wrong assumption!
Sony A7rV specs summary:
- Same 61MP sensor because all the power goes to the new processor.
- TOTALLY New Autofocus system with AI deep learning
- 8k 24p (cropped)
- 4k60p 4k24p (full read out)
- heat sink design of the Sony A7sIII (up to 30min 8K recording without overheating)
- S cinetone is available
- 8 stop IBIS
- Fully articulating LCD screen
- Body looks like a mix between the Sony A7sIII and Sony A7IV.
- Announcement October 26
Our reader Frank created this new wireless remote for Sony cameras
Frank sent me this message:
I’ve been working on an open source project that’s a wireless remote for Sony cameras. The original spirit of the project is to bring missing firmware features like focus stacking to Sony cameras. And I managed to sort of do that, and then I went nuts implementing more and more features. It can turn the camera into a security camera with a trigger mode that supports multiple triggering sources, like sound, or you can add a laser beam break sensor. There’s even a dumb feature for bird photographers like myself, if the camera’s focus sticks to a branch instead of a bird, rapidly tapping the AF button will activate “focus frustration” mode and set the focus to minimum immediately.
This project is an open source firmware project. Anybody can download the source code and make this remote. I wrote the firmware but I did not make the hardware. This project is purely for fun and not a product and not affiliated with Sony in any way.
The firmware and instructions are on https://github.com/frank26080115/alpha-fairy/
My personal blog post about it is here at https://eleccelerator.com/alpha-fairy-wireless-camera-remote/
