Capture moments like a creator

With the Xperia 5 IV, capturing your life on video couldn't be simpler. And with advanced technology from Alpha cameras, the results couldn't be better.

Because beautiful portrait videos are all about the eyes

Eye AF for video

Whether you're recording a person or an animal, Eye AF detects your subject's eye and maintains focus on it as your subject moves.⁰ Available on all lenses, it helps you create more polished, professional-looking video content to share online.

Get creative with a choice of three lenses

Realise your vision with a choice of lenses – ultra-wide 16mm, wide-angle 24mm, and telephoto 60mm. All three offer 4K HDR 120fps video recording, Eye AF and Object Tracking.⁰ Thanks to seamless zoom, you can also adjust focal length while recording video without any image degradation or blackouts as you transition from one lens to the next.¹

Videos with more contrast

Wider dynamic range

With new multi-frame shooting for videos⁰, you'll notice the difference in video quality, even in high contrast conditions. With an expanded dynamic range, details are reproduced more clearly and you don't need to worry about whiteout or blackout.
