Last year, poor weather prevented us from climbing Alpamayo. This year, we returned with the Sony A7 V to try again.
What I loved most was how quickly I could move between stills and video. With the flick of a switch, I could go from capturing detailed 33-megapixel images to rolling video in S-Log3, with each mode retaining its own custom settings.
I paired the camera with the Sony 16–35mm GM II lens, which allowed me to capture everything from wide, epic views of the Peruvian Andes, including Alpamayo, to more intimate portraits of our team. Combined with the camera’s AI-powered autofocus, it made it easy to move between wide landscapes and portraits, capturing each moment without worrying about focus.
The camera allowed us to stay focused on the journey while capturing the memories along the way. This time, after a long and demanding climb, we finally reached the top of the route.
