Sensor detailAPS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR; ultrasonic sensor cleaning; 40.2 million effective pixelsUK specification rounds effective resolution to 20.4 MP and total to 22.9 MP; maker US press release specifies 20.37 effective and 22.93 total. 5184×3888 single-shot output, separate from 80 MP tripod or 50 MP handheld pixel-shift composites
Image formatsJPEG, 10-bit 4:2:2 HEIF, 14-bit RAF RAW and in-camera converted TIFFORF RAW and JPEG; high-resolution modes combine eight exposures and can save composite RAW; moving subjects and capture conditions affect results
ISO detailStandard still ISO 125–12800; extended ISO 64/80/100/25600/51200Maker UK published sensitivity range includes LOW, approximately ISO 80, through ISO 102400; default Auto upper limit ISO 25600. This headline range includes expanded settings, rather than implying ISO 80 is the native base sensitivity
