Impressive portraits, powered by A.I.

The Xperia 5 V is perfect for portraits. A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) analyses the focus, white balance, and exposure to automatically give you the best shot each time. Point and shoot and your phone will do the rest.

This short video, shot in a vertical portrait aspect ratio, demonstrates the voice priority microphone. This feature prioritises audio capture on the voice of a speaker in front of the camera, suppressing ambient and surrounding sounds.

A woman is outdoors on a street capturing an over-head selfie shot and speaking to the camera. Background sounds from the street are barely audible, and we can clearly hear her say “Hi everyone, I´m in Shibuya and it’s started to rain now. I´m wearing my purple hat and as you can see – as you can hear – the Xperia can capture the sound clearly without external microphones”.

Elevate every vlog

Take your vlogging to the next level with the optional Vlogging Monitor2 that lets you use the main camera to film and live stream yourself1. Our optional Bluetooth®2 shooting grip offers easy handling and physical controls, and a convenient mini tripod mode, for hands-free shots.

This short video, shot in a vertical portrait aspect ratio, demonstrates the Product showcase feature. This feature allows the camera to quickly focus on a subject in the centre of the frame making it ideal for product review videos. It will automatically shift the focus between a person speaking to the camera and a product they are holding up.

A woman inside a studio says, “Hi everyone, it’s Stephanie here today and I´m gonna show my outfit, starting from this shoe I brought last weekend in Shibuya”.

Then she picks up an open-toed shoe with a spiral pattern in cream and light green, and holds it in front of her for the camera. The focus quickly and smoothly shifts from her to the shoe, and she describes the details of the shoe “I think it is so nice and, like, the pattern here is so unique, and I like it so much”.

When she moves the shoe back out of the frame, the camera returns to focus on her again.
