As you can see in the image sample, even the A1 has trouble in some situations so I would not expect much too much from the A7V. Global shutter is the only answer afaik
Yes, but no. Jim Kasson has previously demonstrated that some LED lights can produce banding even with a stacked sensor. This is especially true of some stadium and theatrical lighting and the occasional home, public or retail lighting
However, in thousands of images shot under a variety of home and public LED lighting, I have virtually never gotten a banded image with either an A9, A1, or A1 II. They are all fast enough to not have a problem with common modern lighting.
On the other hand, with an A7iii, A7RIII, A7Cii, and A7CR, banding under common LED lights is universal and extreme.
So it is a matter of degree rather than an absolute, but the degree of difference between stacked and unstacked is very great.

My question is where will the A7V fall?
