Lens detailFujifilm G mount; exact maker photograph shows GF32–64mmF4 R LM WR, excluded from body specifications and weight–
AutofocusHybrid phase/contrast autofocus; 117 or 425 selectable single points and customisable zones; animal, bird, vehicle, aeroplane and train recognition, plus human face/eye detection. Maker specifies BIRD setting for insects and AIRPLANE for dronesFast 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 1/16000 second; exposures up to 60 minutes. Maker cautions against electronic shutter for fast movement; flash unavailable with electronic shutter–
Burst detailMaximum 7 fps mechanical, with maker cold-start buffer 184 JPEG or 30 compressed RAW frames; media and conditions affect results. Electronic shooting is 3 fps full-sensor or 4.1 fps with 35 mm Format crop. Amateur Photographer finds live view between frames available only at 2 fpsUp 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 pitch/yaw with GF63mmF2.8 R WR. Digital movie stabilisation adds 1.1× crop in specified modesFive-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.
