Battery lifeApprox. 590 shots in standard mode, approx. 1040 in quick sleep mode; 120 min video (CIPA)

Approximate values measured with a KIOXIA 64 GB UHS-II card.

OM SYSTEM		—
USB charging and powerThe battery charges in the camera over USB-C; USB PD can power the camera externally

Powering needs a USB PD source rated at 27 W or more (9 V 3 A, 15 V 2 A or 15 V 3 A).

Model code—ILCE-7M5 (body only) Sony
Image processor—BIONZ XR2 with integrated AI processing unit Sony
Dynamic range—Up to 16 stops (manufacturer claim)

Sony does not give the measurement conditions.

Sony
Image stabilisation—5-axis sensor shift; 7.5 stops at centre, 6.5 stops at the edge

Measured to CIPA 2024 with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; results may differ with other lenses.

Sony
Continuous shooting—30 fps electronic shutter, 10 fps mechanical; blackout-free with full AF/AE tracking in electronic mode Sony
Pre-Capture—Records frames from up to one second before the shutter is fully pressed

Helps catch hard-to-predict moments such as a bird taking off.

Sony
Monitor—3.2-type TFT touchscreen, 2,095,104 dots; 4-axis articulation (98° up, 40° down, 180° sideways, 270° rotation when open)

The screen can both swing out to face forward and tilt up or down on the body axis, so it works for both video and low-angle stills.

Sony
Video—Up to 4K 119.88p; full-frame 4K 60p oversampled from 7K (no pixel binning); 8-bit 4:2:0 and 10-bit 4:2:2; XAVC S, XAVC HS, XAVC S-I; S-Log3

Oversampling builds each 4K frame from more pixel data for extra detail.

Sony
Bit rate—XAVC S-I 4K up to 600 Mbit/s (10-bit 4:2:2, 59.94p), XAVC HS 4K up to 280 Mbit/s

High bit-rate recording needs a card fast enough for the chosen format.

Sony
Recording time—About 90 minutes of continuous 4K 60p 4:2:0 8-bit recording

The duration depends on ambient temperature and settings.

Sony
Card slots—Slot 1: SD (UHS-I/II) or CFexpress Type A; Slot 2: SD (UHS-I/II) Sony
USB—2 × USB-C: port 1 10 Gbit/s (USB 3.2), port 2 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0); both support USB PD

The battery can charge and the camera can run from either port; Sony says PD power capacity is 3–4 times that of the α7 IV.

Sony
Other connections—Full-size HDMI Type-A; 3.5 mm mic and headphone; Multi Interface Shoe

There is no built-in Ethernet; wired FTP transfer works through a USB-LAN adapter.

Sony
