Sony A1 II / ILCE-1M2 Body Only

A fusion of leading technologies delivers overwhelming performance

The massive volume of data from the approximately 50.1 effective megapixel full frame Exmor RS™ image sensor is processed in real time by Sony’s BIONZ XR™ image processing engine. An advanced AI processing unit applies high-level subject recognition to reliably recognise a wide range of subjects. These state-of-the-art technologies come together to make it easy to capture even the most challenging subjects in extraordinary resolution, with blackout-free viewing and full AF/AE tracking performance at up to 30 fps.

Extraordinary detail with approximately 50.1 effective megapixels

Sony's extensive high-performance G Master line work with the 50.1 megapixel8 Exmor RS image sensor and BIONZ XR image processing engine to create deep, lifelike, high-resolution rendering. The sensor’s high pixel count means that resolution is still a very impressive 21 megapixels when shooting in APS-C mode or cropping to APS-C size after shooting.

Real-time Recognition AF for movies

Real-time Recognition AF utilises advanced AI-based human pose estimation technology that recognises and tracks not just eyes, but body and head position for human subjects with high precision. The range of subjects recognised with AI assistance, for both movies and stills, has been expanded relative to the α1, and now includes birds in movies for example2. Other subjects are acquired and tracked in real time by processing colour, pattern, and spatial data.

Flexible LCD monitor positioning

The 4-axis multi-angle monitor can be positioned for optimal viewing in horizontal or vertical orientation. The extended monitor can be tilted upward by approximately 98° and downward by approximately 40° to the camera back, and sideways by a full 180°. The hinge is unobtrusive but robust.33 The large 3.2 type 2.1 million dot display panel is touch sensitive, has a wide colour gamut, and is designed for clear outdoor viewing.

Seamless search and playback with two memory cards

It is now possible to display the contents of two memory cards when both media slots are selected for playback, allowing seamless playback of all images without having to switch cards. Playback parameter filtering can significantly improve on-site workflow efficiency.
