Now any photographer can capture fast-moving objects. Each shutter click comes with a newly developed image sensor. Its integral memory, paired with an upgraded BIONZ XR imaging processing engine, makes it capable of shooting 50.1 megapixel images continuously at an astounding 30fps, with up to 120 AF/AE calculations per second. Great for professional photographers, photojournalists and beginners alike.

It captures clear and high-resolution images, especially during dynamic situations, such as sports and wildlife. Alpha 1 inherits the best from series A9 and A7 with its phenomenal 8K resolution recording.
For the first time, A1 supports simultaneous synchronization between electronic shutter and flash. Speed reaches up to 1/200 second, and the mechanical shutter can go up to 1/400 second.
Alpha 1’s processing power delivers shooting with an electronic shutter up to 155 uncompressed RAW images, with 50.1 megapixel or 165 JPEG images that can be shot repeatedly at 30fps high speed. Focus and meter calculations can still be performed 120 times per second during the process, with seamless eye-tracking and focusing in order to secure focal and exposure precision in high-speed situations.
In addition to WiFi, high-speed Internet access via LAN is also available.
A1’s shooting capabilities are further enhanced by a 9.44-million dot OLED Quad-XGA electronic viewfinder, with a refresh rate of up to 240 fps(xiv), ensuring no blackout. You will still have a detailed and refined display experience at 9.44 million pixels, 240Hz refresh rate OLED electronic view via EVF.
Except for 4K/120p, A1 is the first model that can record 8K videos.
A1 is also capable of 4K 120p/60p 10-bit 4:2:2 recording and includes S-Cinetone colour. It is packed with features that support field professionals with faster workflow, including 3.5 times faster wireless FTP transfer speed and more.
The newly developed full-frame stacked CMOS with 50.1 megapixels.
Other features include 16-bit RAW output to an external recorder via HDMI for maximum post-production flexibility. Due to improvement in heat dissipation, even when shooting 8K videos, the temperature of the module remains at a normal temperature range. As a result, 30-minute unstoppable recording is possible.
