Lens detailFujifilm G mount; exact maker photograph includes an attached GF lens, excluded from body specifications and weight; adapted cinema lenses have separate format 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 detectionFast Hybrid AF with 693 full-frame phase-detection points and 25 contrast points; phase coverage approximately 79%. Recognises people, animals, birds, insects, cars/trains and aircraft. APS-C lenses change phase-point count; recognition depends on selected mode and subject.
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 motion–
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 resultsUp to approximately 10 fps mechanical Hi+ with AF/AE tracking, or 8 fps with live view; electronic Hi+ up to 7 fps in Sony's launch footnote. Buffer claim is 583 compressed RAW, 135 uncompressed RAW or over 1000 JPEG frames using Sony CEA-G160T CFexpress Type A and Hi+ under maker conditions.
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; Sony claims 8 stops under CIPA pitch/yaw conditions with FE 50mm F1.2 GM and long-exposure noise reduction off. Active video stabilisation narrows the field of view and is unavailable in 8K and 120p modes.
