The newly introduced top-of-the-line smartphone Sony Xperia 1 VII brings both partially improved camera hardware and expanded AI functions in the video sector. "AI Camerawork" and "Auto Framing" now use the recognition of body positions, which was previously used for autofocus, for the automatic determination of the image section. ;) SOny Xperia 1 VII Xperia 1 VII 16mm camera with larger sensor The new flagship smartphone is still equipped with three cameras on the back. While their focal lengths have not changed, the (35mm equivalent) 16mm ultra-wide-angle now has a 1/1.56 inch 48-megapixel sensor (approx. 2.1 times larger than the previous model) to provide clearer night shots. The lens is designed to minimize distortion and supports close-ups from approx. 5 cm distance for macro photography.
;) Camera section Xperia 1 VII The wide-angle lens with 24 mm/48 mm (equivalent to a 2x optical zoom) works with the 1/1.35" Exmor T sensor for mobile devices. The telephoto module added last year with 1/3.5" Exmor RS includes a true optical zoom from 85 to 170 mm. All three lenses have a ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating, which is designed to minimize unwanted lens effects such as reflections. AI Camerawork and Auto Framing AI technologies from various areas, including the Alpha camera division, have been optimized as "Xperia Intelligence" for the Xperia and enable new camera, audio and display functions. The "AI Camerawork" feature is designed to help realize "professional"-looking, stable videos with an "optimal" image section, in which the subject is automatically kept in the center of the composition. This should work thanks to sophisticated subject recognition including classification of body position as well as stabilization algorithms even when filming a moving subject while walking. For this, of course, the image must be cropped, which is why this function is only compatible with the ultra-wide-angle and wide-angle module. ;) The AI camera guidance is complemented by the "Auto Framing" function, which tracks the subject using artificial intelligence and automatically crops the shots so that the subject is centered in the middle of the screen. To film a moving subject, according to Sony, the camera only needs to be pointed approximately at it: The subject is then automatically recorded without having to follow it yourself with the camera. With "Auto Framing" two different types of videos can be recorded: those that show the entire scene, and those in which the subject appears in close-up via crop. The automatic image section works for recordings with 4K and 30 fps; the video resolution for close-ups is limited to Full-HD 30 fps. Further Video-Features The Xperia 1 VII supports video recording in up to 4K 120 fps HDR. S-Cinetone for Mobile is on board, as are six Creative Look presets. The shutter button has been enlarged to make it easier to release. It is designed for 2-phase operation, like a real camera: when it is half-pressed, it activates the AF focus lock. AI is also used in autofocus to reliably keep real-time tracking and real-time eye AF in focus. In addition, AI also works with white balance, exposure and depth estimation for focusing. The bokeh mode, in which lights in the background are artificially blurred, has been improved according to Sony. When live streaming to YouTube or other platforms that support the Realtime Messaging Protocol (RTMP), premium camera functions such as S-Cinetone for Mobile can also be used. A live chat display function is also available. No mention is made of the "Alpha-ready" mode, via which the last generations of the Xperia could be connected to Sony Alpha cameras. It is to be hoped that you can also control your camera with the Xperia 1 VII and get an image preview on your mobile phone including advanced functions such as peaking, zebra pattern and backup recording to the internal memory of the mobile phone. Features The Xperia 1 VII comes with the latest chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is said to increase NPU, CPU and GPU performance by more than 40% each compared to the previous model. This accelerates AI processing when photographing, filming and playing high-end games, while at the same time reducing battery consumption. When the "Processing Optimization" function is activated, certain applications such as social media use, web surfing and watching online videos also consume up to ten times less energy, which should enable an active usage time of two days11. ;) 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal memory (UFS) are installed, which can be expanded via MicroSDXC (up to 2TB). Price and availability The Sony Xperia 1 VII is offered for 1,499.00 euros (which makes it 100 euros more expensive than its predecessor at launch). Availability is stated from May 13, 2025, but shipping should only take place from mid-June (at Sony itself).  more infos at bei www.sony.dedeutsche Version dieser Seite: Sony Xperia 1 VII mit größerem 16mm-Bildsensor und KI-Kameraführung vorgestellt |
