That is normal. Somy of the memory are used for the system applications and other media. You can delete some applications adn move your media to your SD Card.

Sony Xperia V has a 8GB flash memory.

As you can see in the whitepaper for this model:

"Memory comprises 1.2 GB of firmware, 2 GB of “Phone memory” for downloaded applications, and
about 3.7 GB of “Internal storage” for music, pictures and movies, and some application data."

For a more detailed description of the different types of memory and how they are used, please see the follow FAQ topic:
