Lens and shooting
Lens mountCanon EF / EF-SPENTAX KAF2 bayonet mount
StabilisationOptical lens stabilisationSensor shift
Maximum continuous burst5 fps6 fps
Lens detailCanon EF and EF-S lenses, excluding EF-M; 35 mm equivalent angle of view corresponds to approximately 1.6× the attached lens focal lengthKAF4, 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
AutofocusNine optical-viewfinder AF points with cross-type centre; live-view Dual Pixel CMOS AF with up to 143 automatic points or 3975 manually selected positions and eye detection; available points/coverage depend on lens and aspect ratio; 4K movies use contrast detectionThrough-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
ShutterElectronically controlled focal-plane shutter, 30–1/4000 second plus BulbMechanical 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 detailUp to 5 fps; maker manual claims approximately 10 RAW or 37 C-RAW frames with a specified 32 GB UHS-I card, depending on settings and shooting conditionsApproximately 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 detailOptical image stabilisation depends on compatible attached lensesSensor-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
FlashBuilt-in retractable flash, maker guide number 9.8 m at ISO 100 and approximately 3-second recharge; E-TTL II external EL/EX Speedlite support; sync 1/200 second, with no conventional X-contact in the hotshoe and no PC terminalBuilt-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 controlsAutomatic, scene, filter and P/Tv/Av/M modes; 63-zone viewfinder and 384-zone live-view metering; up to ±5 EV compensation, limited to ±3 EV with guided shooting displayPASM, sensitivity priority and combined shutter/aperture priority; 77-segment metering and ±5 EV compensation
