Digital Audio Interface
Having a digital audio interface ensures superior sound quality with compatible audio devices connected via the Multi Interface Shoe.
Heat-Dissipating Structure for Extended Video Recording
With the Sony a1 Mirrorless Camera having a heat-dissipating structure incorporated, makes it possible for videographers to record for a much longer period of time as this prevents overheating from taking place during continuous recording without increasing the body size. This enables you to record 8K/30p or 4k/60p video continuously for up to 30 minutes maximum.
Cinematic S-Cinetone Effect
With Cinematic S-Cinetone added to the Sony a1 Mirrorless Camera, the same colour matrix that's used in the VENICE, FX6, and other Cinema Line Cameras. The tone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin colour, plus soft colours and astonishing highlights.
