Sony India has expanded its camera range in the country with the launch of second-generation Alpha 1 II. Sony Alpha 1 II is a full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens camera that comes equipped with an approximate effective 50.1 MP resolution sensor. The camera offers up to 30 fps (frames-per-second) blackout-free continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking, an anti-distortion shutter and improved image clarity at mid-to-high sensitivities. In addition, the Alpha 1 II has a lightweight form factor weighing 743 grams approximately.

Sony’s new camera comes equipped with a 50.1 MP Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR image processing engine. The camera is claimed to deliver high-resolution images even in APS-C crop mode, capturing approximately 21 effective MP. Sony has also added real-time Recognition AF to the latest Alpha 1 II along with an AI processing unit. This technology maintains focus on subjects, including a human pose estimation that instantly recognises a person's head and torso, as well as accurately tracks animals, birds, insects, and vehicles.
Sony Alpha 1 II comes with a newly added “Auto” feature that allows the camera to automatically recognise the subject target without specifying a subject mode. The camera offers blackout-free high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking at up to 30 frames per second[v], which can track complex movements with AF/AE calculations at up to 120 times per second[vi]. The camera also includes the highly requested Pre-Capture function and Continuous Shooting Speed Boost that can temporarily change the burst shooting speed.
The new camera enables users to crop and edit 4K (3840 x 2160) movies from 8K source footage. 8K 4:2:2 10-bit XAVC HS recording with optional Full HD proxy is also available, as are 4K recording in XAVC HS, S, or S-I formats in full-frame, or Super 35 mm oversampled from 5.8K with full pixel readout and no pixel binning. XAVC S-I allows recording at up to 600 Mbps.
The Alpha 1 II features an anti-distortion shutter that enables shooting with reduced distortion. Additionally, the camera has optical image stabilization of up to 8.5 stops (center) and 7.0 stops (periphery) when shooting still images, as well as a newly supported Dynamic active Mode for video shooting.
The camera features a 3.2-type LCD monitor with 4-axis multi-angle that can be freely adjusted to any angle. Sony Alpha 1 II includes a new deep-type padded eyepiece cup (model FDA-EP21) accessory for additional viewing support. For additional battery support, the Alpha 1 II comes with the BC-ZD1 Dual-Battery Charger that rapidly and stably charges two Z batteries (model NP-FZ100) simultaneously in 155 minutes to full charge. In addition, the VG-C5 compatible vertical grip offers additional ergonomic support with additional battery performance for extending shooting needs.
Sony Alpha 1 II supports 2.5GBASE-T via wired LAN. The captured data can be automatically transferred to Adobe Lightroom or Google Drive via Sony's cloud storage service, Creators' Cloud.
