OverviewCreative Looks
Normally you can take stunning 4K videos and high-resolution images to then post process to achieve the look and feel you’re going for. With the following Creative Look presets, you can now select one that matches your stylistic goals, saving you time and giving you the ability to just shoot and share.
ST: Standard
NT: Lower saturation and sharpness in a subdued tone
VV: Highly clear images with bright, vibrant colors
FL: Moody look by applying sharp contrast to calm coloring
IN: Reduces contrast and saturation for a matte look
SH: Create a bright atmosphere with transparency, softness, and vibrancy
S-Cinetone for Mobile
Incorporating S-Cinetone for mobile, Sony gives you the ability to capture cinema-like video with accurate skin tone representation. It also provides three times the amount of saturation signal level compared to standard sensors, and noise is reduced in dark areas while creating soft colors.
AI Processing
A trio of AI processing advancements have been added to the XPERIA 1 V to more accurately capture the subjects you shoot and record.
AI Depth: Clear autofocus even on subjects in the distance using a depth map
AI White Balance: Accurate white balance in multiple light sources
AI Exposure: Accurate brightness in almost any environment
Improved Vlogging
Vloggers will enjoy the new Product Showcase and Voice Priority microphone of the XPERIA 1 V. Presenting a product to the camera in a review or unboxing can usually lead to you holding your hand behind it to gain focus on the object. Product Showcase now automatically detects the object and focuses on it, making your videos look more natural and professional. Voice Priority does something similar with audio, focusing on the subject speaking in front of the camera, minimizing the pickup of ambient sounds.
Requested by Creators
Sony doesn’t produce a professional-quality mobile shooting platform in a vacuum. They listen to their creators and have implemented the following features they requested into the XPERIA 1 V.
Show peaking on Photo Pro, Video Pro, and Cinema Pro
When used as a monitor on an Alpha camera, view what you shoot and record it directly to the phone’s internal memory simultaneously
New live chat viewing function for better interaction with fans on streams
Vertical UI
A new vertical UI in both Photo Pro and Video Pro show Sony’s commitment to how you create, making it easier and more intuitive to shoot vertically.
Dynamic Sound
Sony adds a high-power and low-noise amplifier to the XPERIA 1’s front-firing full-range speakers, improving fidelity and bass response. When listening, enjoy the sound system’s Hi-Fi Audio output via the 3.5mm headphone jack, or Hi-Fi Audio Wireless quality via Bluetooth LE and LDAC. If you want to feel like you’re in the studio with the band, you can try out Sony’s 360 Reality Audio and 360 Reality Audio Upmix features
