Maximum continuous burst9 fps30 fps
AutofocusContrast AF with face/eye/body/animal detection, tracking, 225-area and configurable zone/single-area selection; joystick and touch positioningPhase Hybrid AF combines phase and contrast detection; 779 points (maker US). Current Japan recognition includes people, animals, cars, motorcycles, trains and aircraft; launch-era reviews described fewer subjects, so later firmware recognition is not treated as a launch feature. Continuous autofocus during zooming requires compatible updated lens firmware
ShutterMechanical 1/8000–60 seconds with bulb approximately 30 minutes; electronic front curtain 1/2000–60 seconds; electronic 1/8000–60 seconds with shorter bulb restriction. External flash sync up to 1/320 second with maker guide-number/mode qualificationMechanical 60–1/8000 second, Bulb approximately 30 minutes; electronic first curtain 60–1/2000 with the same Bulb maximum; electronic 60–1/8000 with Bulb approximately 60 seconds
Burst detailNative 9 fps AFS/MF; continuous AF 6 fps with mechanical/electronic front curtain, 5 fps electronic. Maker buffer at least 60 RAW/RAW+JPEG or 999 JPEG under specified conditions; reduced-resolution 6K/4K Photo modes are separateFull-resolution electronic SH30 at 30 fps AFS/AFC/MF; SH30 PRE added in version 2.0. Current SH buffer 200 RAW/RAW+JPEG/JPEG frames. Mechanical/electronic-first-curtain 9 fps AFS/MF or 7 fps AFC; normal electronic 9/8 respectively. Normal RAW/RAW+JPEG buffer at least 200 and JPEG at least 300 frames under maker media/test conditions
Stabilisation detailFive-axis sensor-shift Body I.S. rated 6 stops with S-X50 at 50 mm; compatible-lens Dual I.S. 2 rated 6.5 stops with S-R24105 at 105 mm, CIPA yaw/pitch; Dual rating requires firmware 1.1 or laterFive-axis sensor-shift B.I.S. with compatible-lens Dual I.S.2; maker US Dual I.S.2 claim 6.5 stops under CIPA yaw/pitch conditions with S-E70200 at 200 mm and updated lens firmware. Active I.S. optimises video correction; electronic video modes have separate restrictions
Flash–No built-in flash; external flash sync up to 1/250 second, with reduced guide number and maker restrictions at the fastest sync setting

No fixed recording limit within supported operating/power/storage conditions. Digital Camera World's suggestion that 6K requires Super 35 crop conflicts with the maker's full-sensor table and is not adoptedInternal 5952×3968 3:2 open-gate 6K at 29.97p, 4:2:0 10-bit HEVC Long GOP 200 Mbps; C4K/4K 59.94p uses an APS-C crop.
