Lens detailFujifilm G mount; exact maker photograph includes an attached GF lens, excluded from body specifications and weight; adapted cinema lenses have separate format restrictionsNIKKOR Z lenses; NIKKOR F lenses require a mount adapter and retain model-dependent restrictions
AutofocusHybrid phase/contrast AF; 117 or 425 selectable single points and customisable zones; maker animal, bird, vehicle, aeroplane and train subject detection plus human face/eye detectionHybrid phase/contrast detection, 493 single-point FX still positions, 3D tracking and subject detection including people, animals, birds and vehicles/aircraft. Maker sensitivity −7 EV or −9 EV with Starlight View, measured in AF-S at ISO 100, 20°C and f/1.2.
ShutterMechanical up to 1/4000 second; electronic up to 1/32000 second; exposure up to 60 minutes. Amateur Photographer notes pronounced electronic-shutter rolling distortion with motionElectronic shutter only, with selectable sound and sensor shield; 1/32000 to 30 seconds, Bulb/Time and manual-mode extension to 900 seconds. Flash sync 1/200 or 1/250 second with reduced guide number at the higher speeds; compatible Auto FP up to 1/8000.
Burst detailMaximum 8.7 fps electronic shooting requires 35 mm Format crop mode; full-sensor mechanical up to 8 fps or electronic 5.3 fps. Maker 8 fps buffer over 1000 JPEG or 325 compressed RAW frames using CFexpress Type B at cold start; media and conditions affect resultsContinuous high-speed shooting up to 20 fps for full-resolution RAW. High-speed capture C15/C30 uses large FX or DX JPEGs, C60 requires large DX JPEGs and C120 requires small FX JPEGs (4128 × 2752). High-speed burst length varies by frame rate according to the current manual; these restricted JPEG modes are separate from the main continuous RAW figure. Pre-release capture available. Current manual restrictions take precedence over UK marketing prose and TechRadar's erroneous full-resolution 60 fps claim.
Stabilisation detailFive-axis sensor shift, maker up to 8 stops based on CIPA with GF63mmF2.8 R WR; digital movie stabilisation separateFive-axis sensor shift; lens VR supported, with Synchro VR up to 6 stops using NIKKOR Z 70–200mm f/2.8 VR S at the telephoto end under Nikon's CIPA conditions; electronic movie VR available
