Evolution rather than revolution is likely to have been Sony&s motto for the Mark II version of its successful full-frame flagship DSLM Alpha 1 II. The most important new features are primarily the result of a new AI unit, which as an independent co-processor should bring a whole range of performance improvements. New AI co-processor, high speed and pre-captureFirst and foremost, there is likely to be further improved AF and AE tracking, which now automatically recognises the subjects to be tracked - a selection of corresponding subject modes is therefore no longer required. The new AI-based AF system (759 AF Phase Detection Points) should work even more reliably than its predecessor and, thanks to the recognition of human poses, should also make better predictions. According to Sony, the Alpha 1 II with its 50.1 Mp stacked full-frame sensor enables blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second and can perform up to 120 AF/AE calculations per second to track complex subject movements and thus ensure smooth AF/AE tracking. Sony specifies the DR for A1 II photos with 15 f-stops. The pre-capture function was already introduced with the Sony Alpha 9 III. This is also on board the Sony A1 II and allows up to 1 second pre-capture (30 fps) so as not to miss the decisive moment. And also important in times of AI-manipulated images: Images captured with the Alpha 1 II will be compatible with Sony&s Camera Authenticity Solution, which adds real-time authenticity information to images. Image stabilisation enhancements for photo and video + Oversampled 8K and S35 videoThe Alpha 1 II features an anti-distortion shutter to minimise distortion to accommodate fast subject movement Image noise at medium to high sensitivity has also been reduced - important for indoor sports shooting. In addition, the Alpha 1 II has improved optical image stabilisation with up to 8.5 stops (image centre) and 7.0 stops (image edge) when taking photos, as well as a newly supported dynamic active mode for video recordings. As before, the maximum resolution for video recording is 8K 30p - this is downsampled from 8.6. Many video users will also be interested in the S35 Crop, which is likely to be read out even faster, with a maximum of 4K 50p with 5.8K oversampling. The import of up to 16 luts should also be new among the video functions.
