| Lens and shooting | ||
| Lens mount | Canon EF / EF-S | PENTAX KAF2 bayonet mount |
| Stabilisation | Optical lens stabilisation | Sensor shift |
| Maximum continuous burst | 3 fps | 6 fps |
| Lens detail | Canon EF and EF-S lenses, excluding EF-M; approximately 1.6× focal-length equivalent angle of view | KAF4, KAF3, KAF2, KAF and KA lenses; KAF2 power-zoom operation is not supported. Autofocus behaviour depends on in-lens motor or the body screw drive |
| Autofocus | Nine optical-viewfinder phase-detection points with cross-type centre; live view uses contrast detection or Quick Mode using the dedicated phase-detection sensor; no Dual Pixel CMOS AF | Through-viewfinder SAFOX X phase detection with eleven points including nine central cross-type points; EV −3 to 18 at ISO 100. Live-view hybrid sensor phase/contrast autofocus with face detection, tracking, multiple/select/spot areas and focus peaking |
| Shutter | Electronically controlled focal-plane shutter, 30–1/4000 second plus Bulb | Mechanical focal-plane 1/6000–30 seconds and Bulb; timed Bulb 10 seconds–20 minutes; electronic shutter for Pixel Shift Resolution rather than a general high-speed electronic mode |
| Burst detail | Up to 3 fps; maker manual claims 150 Large/Fine JPEG, 11 RAW or six RAW plus JPEG frames, using an 8 GB card at ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style | Approximately 6 fps at ISO 100, up to 40 highest-quality large JPEGs, ten RAW or eight RAW/JPEG pairs; 3 fps low-speed mode up to 100 JPEGs, sixteen RAW or eleven pairs |
| Stabilisation detail | Optical image stabilisation depends on compatible attached lenses | Sensor-shift SR; maker claims 4.5 shutter stops in launch notice. Pixel Shift Resolution has selectable subject-motion correction, which cannot correct every moving subject. Astrotracer needs optional O-GPS2; no built-in GPS inferred |
| Flash | Built-in retractable flash, guide number 9.2 m at ISO 100, approximately two-second recharge and 1/200-second sync; EX-series Speedlite E-TTL II support; no PC terminal | Built-in retractable P-TTL flash, guide number approximately 12 at ISO 100 in metres; 28mm full-frame-equivalent coverage; 1/180-second sync and external dedicated-flash support |
| Exposure controls | Scene and P/Tv/Av/M modes; 63-zone optical-viewfinder metering; up to ±5 EV compensation | PASM, sensitivity priority and combined shutter/aperture priority; 77-segment metering and ±5 EV compensation |
