Sony unveiled remarkably compact FE 400mm f/4.5 and FE 600mm f/6.3 GM Super Telephoto, two of Sony's most compact super-telephoto lenses to date. These lenses deliver exceptional sharpness and performance while weighing just under 2.2 lb each. Both lenses feature optimized optical designs that shift the center of gravity towards the camera, making them feel balanced when holding. Sony FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS Lens product highlights include Full-Frame | f/4.5 to f/20, GM-Series Portable Super-Telephoto Prime, Dual XD Linear Motor AF System, Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization, Custom Fn. Ring & 4 Focus Hold Buttons, Super ED Elements, Nano AR Coating II, Dust and Moisture-Resistant Construction, Continuous AF/AE Tracking up to 120 fps, Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm, Fixed, Rotating Tripod Collar. The implementation of innovative G Master optics and Super ED and ED elements serve to suppress chromatic aberration and give images a crisp look. These lenses feature a Nano AR II coating, which suppresses internal reflections and reduces flare and ghosting when shooting in backlit conditions. Sony FE 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS Lens product highlights include Full-Frame | f/6.3 to f/20, GM-Series Portable Super-Telephoto Prime, Dual XD Linear Motor AF System, Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization, Custom Fn. Ring & 4 Focus Hold Buttons, Super ED Elements, Nano AR Coating II, Dust and Moisture-Resistant Construction, Continuous AF/AE Tracking up to 120 fps, Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm, Fixed, Rotating Tripod Collar. When either the 400mm f/4.5 or the 600mm f/6.3 are paired with a megapixel-rich camera like the a1 II or the newly announced a7R VI, the sharpness really shines. The combination of quality and resolution provides increased flexibility when cropping. Powered by two XD (eXtreme dynamic) Linear Motors, both the 400mm f/4.5 and the 600mm f/6.3 deliver exceptional autofocus performance, finding and tracking some of the toughest subjects. Both lenses are able to maintain tracking at up to 120 fps on the a9 III and subsequently make quick work of the 20 – 30 fps most average photographers will be shooting at. Both the 400mm f/4.5 and the 600mm f/6.3 come equipped with Sony's OPTICAL SteadyShot system with three modes. Mode 1 compensates for normal shake, while Mode 2 takes panning motion into account; Mode 3 is best for erratic subject matter, like birds. Both lenses are compatible with both the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. The 400mm f/4.5 becomes a 560mm f/6.3 when paired with the 1.4x and an 800mm f/9 when paired with the 2.0x. The 600mm f/6.3 effectively becomes an 840mm f/9 and a 1200mm f/13, respectively. Both the 400mm f/4.5 and the 600mm f/6.3 come with the high reliability needed for outdoor shooting. The chassis is dust- and moisture-resistant; plus, the front lens element features a Fluorine coating to repel water droplets, oils, and contaminants—all while making the front element a breeze to clean. Both lenses come with a padded soft carrying case as well. Sony now offers three levels of lenses for super-telephoto users. At one end sits their versatile lineup of zooms and the big exotic primes on the other. In the middle sits the new class of more affordable G Master lenses, making pro-level performance more accessible. The two new primes sit alongside the FE 100-400mm f/4.5 GM announced earlier this year in this new middle tier. Even experienced wildlife shooters using the larger f/4 or f/2.8 variants of these lenses may benefit from the lightweight build as a hiking companion, or an alternative focal length to have over your shoulder in a pinch.

Sony has announced the debut of its first-ever fisheye zoom lens for its E-mount ecosystem, the FE 8-14mm f/3.5 G lens. The FE 8-14mm f/3.5 G lens combines optical performance, high-speed autofocus, hybrid versatility, and compact mobility. The Sony 8-14mm zoom lens boasts 16 elements in 13 groups, with both internal focusing and zoom mechanisms to keep the build compact and balanced. The fisheye image moves from an equally solid circular fisheye to an equidistant diagonal fisheye as the lens zooms from wide to tele. Product Highlights include Full-Frame | f/3.5 to f/22 Aperture, Circular-to-Diagonal Fisheye Zoom Range, Autofocus Design | 5.9" Close Focus, Ideal for Video, Photo & VR Imaging, Independent Focus, Zoom & Aperture Rings, AF/MF/FH & Zoom Lock Switches, Dust- & Moisture-Resistant Design, Rear Filter Holder & Cutting Template. The optical design—which features extra-low dispersion, aspherical, and extra-low dispersion aspherical glass—controls color fringing across the frame and enables a minimum focus distance of just 8.7". The FE 8-14mm f/3.5 G achieves its high-performance autofocus through two linear motors primed for both stills and video. The lens can accommodate the high-speed, 120 fps tracking available on Sony's advanced camera bodies, as well as achieving reliable tracking when shooting with high-frame rates. Other video benefits include minimized focus breathing and Linear Response manual focus, which ensures predictable and controlled focus pulling. Additionally, Sony has optimized the new lens for professional 3D VR capture when used with compatible cameras. Sony's sophisticated optical design yields one of the lightest fisheye zooms on the market, landing at 11.1 oz and 3.3" in length. Its size does not concede durability: dust- and weather-resistance, a fluorine front element coating, and a bespoke lens hood all prove the lens can work in the elements. A rear filter holder allows for the application of light-modifying filters, while the aperture ring, aperture click switch, focus mode switch, focus hold button, and zoom lock switch all offer precision on-body control.

Sony has unveiled the much-sought-after successor to their legendary RX10 bridge camera. At the forefront of this camera is the very same ZEISS 24-600mm f/2.4-4 Vario-Sonar T* found in the IV. It's sharp, bright, and sits in front of the heart of the camera. That is the Exmor RS 20.1-Megapixel 1.0 Type Stacked Sensor, which delivers detailed image rendering with smooth, natural gradations. The sensor's stacked architecture boosts the camera's readout speed, effectively eliminating rolling shutter distortion. The high-speed continuous frame rates have been upgraded to 30 fps blackout free shooting with AF/AE tracking functionality. This is achieved with 60 AF/AE calculations per second, which ensures that important action can be tracked and captured with confidence. This extends to the newly AI powered subject recognition. New to the RX10 series is real-time subject recognition AF, with human, animal, bird, insect, car, train, and airplane modes. AI-based real-time tracking accurately focuses and tracks so long as the shutter button is half-pressed, or the rear AF-ON function is activated. The integration of Sony's Speed Boost feature, which has been popular in their Alpha series for some time, allows users to capture only the most captivating moments at high speed, reducing the number of shots leading up and following the main sequence. The RX10 V sees many upgrades, including 4K 60p full-pixel readout recording with 5.4K oversampling, 4K 120p recording, improved audio recording, and the introduction of S&Q mode. Stabilization sees big improvements in the area with Active Mode Image Stabilization, which uses a new gyro sensor alongside the latest image stabilization algorithms to provide a highly effective blend of electronic and optical stabilization while you shoot. Enhancing users' ability to creatively express their vision is the new Creative Look feature. This makes it easy to create visual styles for still images and movies right in camera. The RX10 V comes with 12 preset looks, but these can be edited to create custom looks to be used as desired. The camera features an expanded DRO, or Dynamic Range Optimizer. This aids users in capturing more natural looking backlit portraits, simplifying the process to be nearly as easy as when using your smartphone. The RX10 V is sure to be a compelling camera for those looking to stretch their creative legs without hauling around a bulky interchangeable lens camera. Product Highlights: 20.1MP 1" Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor, BIONZ XR Processing Engine with AI Chip, 4K60 Full-Pixel 4:2:2 10-Bit Video, Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* f/2.4-4 Zoom Lens, 24-600mm Zoom Range (35mm Equivalent), AI-Powered Autofocus & Subject Tracking, 4K120 High-Speed Video with Sensor Crop, 3.69m-Dot Quad-VGA OLED EVF, 3" 1.62m-Dot Tilting Touchscreen LCD, 30 fps Continuous Shooting.

Sony Electronics announced XYN spatial capture solution, which creates high-quality 3DCG assets, is expected to be available to professional customers in the United States starting summer 2026. The first release of this solution comprises three software tools: the smartphone application XYN Spatial Scan Navi to assist with shooting spatial content; the cloud application XYN Spatial Scan for generating real-world spaces as high-quality 3DCG assets; and the rendering plugin XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin for achieving high-quality, stable image display. XYN, an integrated suite of software and hardware solutions supporting spatial content creation, was announced in January 2025. The spatial capture solution supports capturing, generating, and utilizing 3DCG assets optimized for virtual production in film, drama, and commercial production. It enables the efficient use of production-quality photorealistic 3DCG assets designed for use with large LED walls and real-time rendering environments in virtual production. Future plans include expanding multi functions and applications beyond virtual production, aiming for broader adoption in fields like gaming, animation, architecture, manufacturing, digital twins, and cultural heritage archiving. Furthermore, it will roll out plugins and services designed to integrate with standard 3DCG production tools and game engines across industries, contributing to the creation of seamless workflows. Key Features of XYN Spatial Scan Navi: The AR navigation functionality assists real-time shooting. By connecting to a Sony Alpha camera and a smartphone, it visualizes the required shooting position and angle using AR, guiding users to the optimal shooting position. It enables capturing the necessary photos to generate a complete, high-quality 3DCG asset. The Real-time preview feature visualizes the shooting status to minimize missed shots. Features that allow users to view and confirm shooting locations from a bird's-eye view, as well as clearly highlight completed sections, enable real-time monitoring of shooting progress. By preventing missed shots, this helps reduce overall production time. Automatic integration with cameras streamlines the shooting and generation workflow. The application controls the optimal camera settings and capturing parameters based on the subject. This enables consistent, high-quality photography even without specialized knowledge of spatial content creation. Additionally, by automatically recording shooting information, lens data, and camera metadata, it contributes to improving the quality and accelerating the subsequent 3DCG generation process. Key Features of XYN Spatial Scan: Sony's proprietary algorithms generate production-quality 3DCG assets optimized for virtual production. Even when 3DCG assets are displayed on the large LED screens—typically several inches in size—commonly used in virtual production, Sony's proprietary generation algorithm faithfully reproduces details such as reflections, gloss, and the atmospheric quality of distant scenes in high resolution. By generating data compatible with the color management workflows required for HDR display, the system achieves rich tonal expression with minimal clipping in highlights and shadows. Deployment and operation independent of production environments. Since rendering is performed in the cloud, the system can be deployed without the need for a dedicated production environment, and high-quality data can be generated and reviewed in the cloud even while on the go. Additionally, it enables the creation of high-quality 3DCG assets required for virtual production through simple operations. Flexibly adapts to creators' existing workflows. It supports input from standard mirrorless camera footage, and the generated data can be integrated into standard workflows using tools such as Unreal Engine. Furthermore, by combining the Alpha camera with the XYN Spatial Scan Navi and the XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin, they can achieve a higher-quality and more efficient workflow. Key Features of the XYN Spatial Renderer Plugin: Production-quality real-time rendering achieves flexible virtual production shooting. A Sony-developed rendering plug-in that enables production-quality playback of 3DCG assets generated with XYN Spatial Scan. Maintains high image quality on LED backgrounds regardless of distance or angle, increasing flexibility in virtual production shooting. It also supports HDR display, enabling more realistic virtual production shooting. Usability that realizes the creator's creativity. During virtual productions, XYN Spatial Render Plugin enables adjustments to depth of field, matching lighting between live subjects and LED backgrounds, color correction of any area on the LED background, and CG overlay, supporting the execution of the creator's creativity. Compatible with industry-standard media servers for seamless integration into existing workflows. Compatible with Unreal Engine, widely used in virtual production, as well as media servers and software such as Disguise for integrating, outputting, and controlling video playback data, enabling seamless integration into existing production environments. Furthermore, by integrating with Sony's Virtual Production Tool Set—which enables pre-shoot simulations and color calibration for both the actual footage displayed on LED screens and the footage captured by cameras—a more efficient workflow is achieved. This solution will be exhibited in Sony's booth, C8401, at the NAB Show 2026, April 19-22, in Las Vegas. XYN Spatial Capture Solution's general availability is expected summer 2026. Prototype product and services subject to change. After initial inquiry with Sony, the app can be downloaded at the Apple App Store with plans for availability in summer 2026. Network services, content, and operating system and software subject to terms and conditions and may be changed, interrupted or discontinued at any time and may require fees, registration and credit card information. Digital content that utilizes technologies such as VR, AR, MR, and stereoscopic displays to provide experiences with a sense of depth and immersion. Compatible Alpha cameras and smartphones can be found here. Varies depending on the image quality used for generation. As of the announcement on April 15, 2026, content generation optimized for HDR display is in beta.

LiveU announced a significant expansion of its collaboration with Sony Corporation, introducing integrated support for Sony's file-based workflow solutions across the LiveU EcoSystem. LiveU will offer the Sony RXS Connection License as part of its portfolio, enabling direct file transfer from compatible Sony cameras to its PWA-RXS solution via supported LiveU field units, starting with LiveU's compact LU300S transmission unit.

The New Company will succeed to Sony's home entertainment business, which includes product development and design, manufacturing, sales and logistics, and customer service for products such as Consumer TVs (BRAVIA), B2B Flat Panel Displays (B2B BRAVIA), B2B LED Displays, projectors, and home audio equipment such as home theater systems and audio components. The New Company is expected to operate this integrated business globally. As part of the partnership, 100% of the equity in Sony EMCS (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.("SOEM"), a subsidiary responsible for the manufacturing function of Sony's home entertainment products, will be transferred to TCL. Regarding Shanghai Suoguang Visual Products Co. Ltd. ("SSVE"), also a subsidiary responsible for the manufacturing function of Sony's home entertainment products, the relevant parties expect to continue discussions regarding the transfer of all or part of the equity in SSVE held by Sony (China) Limited to TCL. The sum of the enterprise value of the businesses to be transferred to the New Company and the enterprise value of SOEM ("Enterprise Value") is approximately JPY 102.8 billion (equivalent to approximately HKD 5.2 billion*). The consideration payable by TCL is assumed to be approximately JPY 75.4 billion (equivalent to approximately HKD 3.8 billion*) at present, calculated based on the equity value derived from the above Enterprise Value with adjustments for certain net debt, working capital, and other adjustments, and prorated according to TCL's ownership ratios of the New Company and SOEM. The final amount will be determined following further adjustments for certain net debt and working capital at the timing of closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Enterprise Value does not include the enterprise value of SSVE, which is currently under discussion. The completion of transactions under this partnership is subject to obtaining relevant regulatory approvals and other conditions, with the New Company expected to commence operations in April 2027. The New Company's products are expected to carry the globally recognized "Sony" and "BRAVIA" names, with the aim of creating new customer value through branded products such as TVs and home audio equipment. The New Company will strive to create innovative products that meet the expectations of customers worldwide and achieve further business growth through outstanding operational excellence. In addition, Sony and TCL are committed to strongly supporting the sustainable growth of the New Company.

Sony AI unveiled the Fair Human-Centric Image Benchmark (FHIBE, pronounced "Fee-bee"), a dataset created to establish a new global benchmark for fairness evaluation in computer vision models. While computer vision technologies are central to modern artificial intelligence (AI) applications - from smartphones to autonomous vehicles - FHIBE addresses the industry's persistent challenge of unbiased and ethically compromised training data. It aims to catalyze industry-wide improvements for responsible and ethical protocols throughout the entire life span of data - from sourcing and management to utilization - including fair compensation for participants and clear consent mechanisms. The FHIBE dataset is publicly available beginning and was published in Nature. FHIBE was created to address issues with current publicly available datasets that lack diversity and are collected without consent, which can perpetuate bias and present a persistent challenge to AI developers and users. Additionally, the lack of adequate and available evaluation datasets can result in unbiased or harmful models being deployed, making it difficult to assess potential harm and the ability of a model to function equally on a global scale. The team at Sony AI recognized the need to address these barriers and invested significant resources to provide this benchmark for public use by AI developers and researchers globally. FHIBE is the first publicly available, consensually-collected, and globally diverse fairness evaluation dataset for a wide variety of human-centric computer vision tasks. It enables researchers and developers to rigorously evaluate bias and accuracy across a variety of computer vision tasks, including face detection and verification,pose estimation, and visual question answering. The scale and complexity of this research reflect the significant challenges in creating a dataset that is comprehensive, globally diverse, and consensually-sourced. Over the course of three years, a global team of Sony AI researchers, engineers, and project managers worked to develop rigorous procedures for data collection,annotation, and validation. Their work was further supported by legal, privacy, Information Technology (IT), and Quality Assurance (QA) specialists.
