Lens detailNative RF and RF-S lenses; EF/EF-S via EF-EOS R adapters, excluding EF-M; approximately 1.6× focal-length equivalence for this APS-C sensorNIKKOR Z lenses; compatible F-mount lenses require an adapter and retain model-dependent restrictions. Lens VR works with supported VR lenses; no in-body sensor-shift stabilisation.
AutofocusDual Pixel CMOS AF II; up to 651 automatically selected areas or 4503 manually selected still-photo positions; people, dogs, cats, birds and motorsport vehicle tracking; −4 EV claim with f/1.2 non-DS lens, centre point, One-Shot AF, ISO 100 and 23°CHybrid phase/contrast detection with 209 single-point DX positions, eye/animal detection and tracking for stills/video; sensitivity −4.5 EV with low-light AF or −3 EV without, at ISO 100, 20°C, AF-S and f/1.8
ShutterMechanical 30–1/4000 second plus Bulb; electronic up to 1/16000 second with available speeds depending on shooting modeMechanical focal-plane, electronic front-curtain and electronic shutters; 1/4000 to 30 seconds, Bulb/Time and manual extension to 900 seconds. Dial offers whole stops down to 4 seconds; command dial offers one-third stops. Flash sync 1/200 second; Auto FP supported.
Burst detailFull-resolution AF/AE tracking up to 23 fps electronic or 15 fps mechanical/electronic first curtain; maker 32 GB UHS-II card, One-Shot AF, ISO 100 and Standard Picture Style test gives 70 JPEG/21 RAW at 23 fps or 460 JPEG/29 RAW at 15 fps; battery, lens and settings affect speed. Electronic-shutter rolling distortion may occurContinuous H extended approximately 11 fps under Nikon test conditions; Continuous H 5 fps and Continuous L 1–4 fps. TechRadar measured approximately 22 frames in extended mode before slowing, dependent on card and recording settings; UHS-I buffer clearance limits sustained action.
Stabilisation detailNo sensor-shift IS; compatible lens optical stabilisation and Movie Digital IS supported; digital movie stabilisation further crops the image–
FlashBuilt-in flash guide number 6 m at ISO 100; multi-function shoe supports compatible EX/EL Speedlites; mechanical sync 1/200 second or electronic first curtain 1/250 second; flash unavailable with electronic shutterNo built-in flash; ISO 518 hot shoe with compatible i-TTL Speedlights
Exposure controlsFv/P/Tv/Av/M, Bulb and two custom modes; 384-zone metering; ±3 EV compensationAuto/P/S/A/M; dedicated ISO, shutter-speed and compensation dials with aperture readout. Compensation ±3 EV on the dial or ±5 EV through the command setting; matrix, centre-weighted, spot and highlight-weighted metering.

Release detailCanon Camera Museum records July 2022 marketing; Canon's March 2023 global retrospective independently confirms release in July 2022; no exact first-sale day inferredNikon Japan records first sale on 23 July 2021; exact first UK day is not established. Black and HERALBONY editions are cosmetic variants of the same body hardware, not separate generations. TechRadar's updated introduction incorrectly says September 2021; maker timing takes precedence.
