Sony recently launched a new 4K PTZ camera with built-in AI algorithms capable of following a subject and framing shots autonomously: the Sony SRG-A12. The camera features a 4K Exmor R image sensor capable of recording footage at up to 4K30p and a 12x optical zoom. So let’s take a closer at this new PTZ camera that can shoot without an operator!

Sony SRG-A12 – features The Sony SRG-A12 is a compact PTZ camera primarily designed for video conferencing, remote education, live streaming, and broadcasting. The camera features a 1/2.5″-Type CMOS image sensor that can capture footage up to UHD 4K at 30 frames per second. The PTZ camera has a built-in 12x optical zoom (focal length equivalent to a 4.4 to 52.8mm lens) with an F/2-3.7 maximum aperture.
