Introducing Xperia 5 IV, a premium smartphone that can beautifully capture important moments. It has many of the powerful features found in the flagship Xperia, but in a compact design. Xperia 5 IV is the first Xperia 5 series smartphone that has Real-time Eye AF and Real-time tracking on all lenses for shooting perfect portrait images, 12MP front camera that enables great clear selfies and videos even in dark scenes, wireless charging and battery share. With the latest chipset and powerful 5,000mAh battery, it keeps you creating impressive content and streaming or sharing them easily throughout the day.
Capture Moments like a Creator
With technologies found in our flagship Xperia 1 IV smartphone and AlphaTM series cameras such as Eye AF and Object Tracking, Xperia 5 IV incorporates them into a compact design to ensure you never miss that special moment. The 120fps read-out speed image sensors on all 3 lenses realise 4K 120fps (up to 5 times) slow motion record, so you can cinematise your life like never before. Videography Pro also lets you livestream your content direct to streaming services. For shooting video selfies and vlogs, the new front camera has an improved 12MP sensor that enables 4K HDR content with outstanding contrast grading, as well as the ability to take clear selfies in tricky settings such as high glare or dark environments. Paired with the Vlog Monitor (XQZ-IV01, sold separately) you can have a flawless vlogging setup for even more creative control to easily tell your story. Xperia 5 IV is also equipped with an external monitor function. By connecting a mirrorless camera (such as Alpha series cameras), you can directly deliver high-quality images taken with Alpha while monitoring with Xperia 5 IV.
Since 93/RCA platinum-selling, up and coming music sensation Cat Burns has just announced her upcoming single ‘People Pleaser’ and has collaborated with Sony Xperia on a music video, shot entirely on Xperia 5 IV. Utilising creativity options through the manual settings in Videography Pro, ‘People Pleaser’ has been brought to life through capturing fly on the wall candid footage. “Eye AF and Object Tracking on Xperia 5 IV is phenomenal, there was a lot of movement in many of the scenes we shot and the Eye AF was always on point,” Jomar A O-Meally, Lead Videographer. “Creating content on Xperia 5 IV allows you to use your imagination, packing progressive technology into a compact device you can carry around allows everyday people to become filmmakers,” Nathan James Tettey, Director. Whilst Music Pro was used to record an acapella of the chorus and for the video, Cat Burns praised its ease of use, “being able to record great audio and upload it straight away without having to use a laptop is such a great feature and saves time in my hectic schedule!”.
