What a fantastic camera.. 👍🏼

[@cheapskateotaku7123]

Sony....you have a great phone, please freaking give 5 years system update support with the price you are charging. If only sony would hybrid the choice of auto and manual in their cameral it would be gold standard for cameral fans and casual user

yooo this place is amazing! and Xperia 5 V really execute the scenery😍🔥

[@aiswarp7755]

Is there anyway the camera update comes to Xperia 5 IV. The bokeh mode is amazing!!

[@SonyEuro]

Hi Aiswar, we don't have any info about a specific update for the bokeh mode on the Xperia 5 IV, kindly keep an eye on the support page. ^Hanan

[@aiswarp7755]

@@SonyEuro As per my knowledge this can be easily incorporated via software update. If you don't update the features the Xperia 5 IV will get outdated and this is not to be expected from a flagship phone.

[@toneldo18]

Very very impressive 👏

[@mathias6423]

So it has more manual controls for a mobilephone since Sony makes good digital / system cameras and they probably take a lot of that knowledge over to their mobilephone cameras , but still even if it is manual controls it seems to have a bit more intuitive settings in the manual controls. Like 3:59 in to the video you can still choose from different prepared settings even in manual mode, like the white balance you can choose from different prepared settings like "cloudy" , "daylight" and so on instead of going full manual like you often do in a system camera like my old Sony A77. That is really nice, so it kinda has "automated manual settings" if you will, which is awesome for people that wants to learn how to better take pictures but do not want to start out with reading for days about how to do so. Would it be fair to say that Sony has one of the better mobilecameras in the Xperia 5 V and the Xperia 1 V if you go with manual settings instead of autosettings ? Because I have heard that in autosettings the Google Pixel 7 and more expensive Iphones has the better mobilecameras but that the Sony might be better in manual mode ? What do you think ? Or which one is better for photos and videos ? The Google Pixel 8 or the Sony Xperia 5 V ? Because they are both around 700-800$/€ right now.

[@andsoitwas3046]

Yes, Sony generally is better if you learn all of the settings, but the Google Pixel camera is better "out of the box". For me, it took a while to learn all of the camera settings but it's fun to tinker with the settings and learn how to take great photos.

[@sarangapaniraman4913]

Really nice video from Olle. All shots are very impressive. May be Sony needs to improve the color reproduction. For instance in 6:57 when comparing the pic from Sony A71V and Sony Xperia 5V, pic of A71V is slightly saturated and more appealing than 5V which more of the very natural tone. At least they should include the toggle option of taking natural pic and vivid pic in the basic mode or Auto mode which can be done through a software update. Also, please give 3 or 4 major OS update which is the current market trend. Sony phones can easily last for 4 to 5 years with the hardware and battery quality. Releasing just 3 phones a year, this shouldn't be a problem for Sony. With above said points obviously the sales number would see a raise.

[@Kevn37]

Hey Sony, I just ordered the 5 V. I am giving Sony a shot this time picking it over the S23. I have not yet received the phone but I sincerely hope that I'd like it. The only thing still bothering me is your update policy. I hope you give atleast one more update for this phone than the currently promised 2.

[@ahaka2022]

can you shoot raw on 48mm on this? i cannot shoot raw 48mm on the 1v. i shouldve waited for the 5v. not really happy with the zoom.

[@SonyEuro]

Hi, you should be able to shoot RAW formats on both phones, regardless of the lens used, using the photography pro app. ^Mazen

[@ahaka2022]

i meant using the 24mm at 48mm. it is only jpeg on v1. i am curious though. have you had a problem with the video pro app?? i had so much problem with it crashing before. after i formatted the phone, it has only happened once just recently. and the only way to fix it is to restart the whole phone. my phone might be defective.

Hi, could you try the steps here and test again: cutt.ly/Dw5enHq9 ^Omnia

when is xperia 5 mark 6 coming

[@SonyEuro]

Hey there, there's no current information to be shared, however, I'd recommend keeping an eye on our official website for any new releases: cutt.ly/CeSnLGKk ^Nihad

[@fr0xk]

Their cameras outshine those of Xiaomi, Samsung, and even Apple, not to mention compact APS-C mirrorless cameras. The photos captured aren't overprocessed, cartoonish oil paintings like the ones from Xiaomi, Samsung, and Apple. You can literally print Sony smartphone camera photos on a large scale for your house wallpaper, a feat only DSLRs or MFT cameras can match. Perhaps Apple will persevere with ProRAW, but there's this.

[@candoiu]

Hey Sony! Do you know what would make this phone the best of it's kind ? Some 1080p 480fps slo-mo (or at least 240 fps).

Is it really not possible to record 120fps in 48mm mode? If not, will it be possible in future via software update or is it a hardware limitation? Can third-party apps like Filmic Pro recognize and fully utilize 48mm mode or it can be used only by default apps?

​​@@SonyEuroI want to see that new main camera sensor technology across all three lenses in Xperia 1 mark 6 next year .Then it will be amazing.That new sensor technology is revolutionary and I think your Xperia phones are the only phones that came very close and even match the quality of DSLR cameras.i also want your phones to launch in india and we are bored of all these brands vivos,xiaomis, samsung,apple they are not making huge changes to new phones . We want a unique smartphone headphone jack,SD card ,dslr like cameras only you can offer this features.but keep in mind pricing plays a key role in india

feel like a superior camera than that of 15 pm even more so if you edit. always feel like xperia's raw files have been more natural looking and seems to be easier to work with. the proraw on iphone 14 pro was good but the whole process editing on lr is weird af with dramatically off exposure and whatnot. Major problem with this or galaxy stuff which also has great camera and raw file being android's typical lower upload quality into stuff like instagram. And their general display color being different than iphones' causing us needing to check the result on apple devices after editing. if they ever figure these out I will get one of these for sure.
