Stabilisation
Stabilisation	Lens and sensor shift	Optical lens stabilisation
Maximum continuous burst
Maximum continuous burst	30 fps	11 fps
Lens detail
Lens detail	Native RF and RF-S lenses; EF/EF-S lenses via EF-EOS R adapters, excluding EF-M; approximately 1.6× focal-length equivalence for this APS-C sensor	NIKKOR 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.
Autofocus
Autofocus	Dual Pixel CMOS AF II; up to 651 automatically selected areas or 5915 manually selected still-photo positions; people, dogs, cats, birds and motorsport vehicle tracking; −5 EV claim with f/1.2 non-DS lens, centre point, One-Shot AF, ISO 100 and 23°C	Hybrid 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
Shutter
Shutter	Mechanical 30–1/8000 second plus Bulb; electronic up to 1/16000 second, with available speeds depending on shooting mode	Mechanical 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 detail
Burst detail	Full-resolution AF/AE tracking up to 30 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 126 JPEG/42 RAW at 30 fps or 224 JPEG/51 RAW at 15 fps; lens, battery and settings affect speed. Electronic-shutter rolling distortion may occur	Continuous 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 detail
Stabilisation detail	Five-axis sensor-shift stabilisation coordinated with compatible lens IS; CIPA yaw/pitch up to eight stops with RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM at 105 mm, or seven stops with RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM at 150 mm	–

Release detail
Release detail	Canon's global March 2023 retrospective confirms release in June 2022, matching the Australian launch announcement's late-June retail promise; the Camera Museum entry instead lists November 2022 marketing. Main date uses the earlier confirmed release month, with no inferred day	Nikon 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.
