Maximum continuous burst10 fps75 fps
AutofocusContrast AF, face/eye detection, tracking and 49-area selection; AFS/AFF/AFC/MF modesContrast AF with DFD; human/face/eye and animal detection. Fastest SH bursts use AFS/MF, not continuous autofocus
ShutterElectronic front curtain up to 1/500 second; electronic shutter up to 1/16000 second. Flash synchronisation 1/50 second or slowerMechanical up to 1/8000 second, electronic first curtain 1/2000 and electronic 1/32000; mechanical bulb up to 30 minutes
Burst detailNative electronic 10 fps; electronic first curtain 6 fps AFS/MF or 5 fps AFF/AFC. Maker RAW buffer at least 20 frames under its test conditions; video-derived 4K Photo is separateFull-resolution electronic SH75/60/20 at 75/60/20 fps AFS/MF; SH buffer 200 RAW/JPEG frames. Mechanical or electronic first curtain 14 fps AFS/MF or 8 fps AFC; ordinary electronic 14/7 respectively. Normal RAW buffer more than 65 frames with CFexpress or 50 with SD under maker conditions
Stabilisation detailOptical stabilisation depends on the attached lens; no sensor-shift Body I.S. Video electronic stabilisation combines with compatible optical lenses, marketed as 5-axis Hybrid I.S. rather than lens-plus-sensor stabilisation; 4K correction and crop differ. High electronic setting narrows the view furtherFive-axis Body I.S. rated 7.5 stops with H-ES12060 at 60 mm; Dual I.S. 2 also 7.5 stops with H-FS14140 at 140 mm, CIPA yaw/pitch
