Lens detail–Interchangeable L-Mount body; listed kit lenses are separate optical configurations, not built-in lens specifications
AutofocusPhase Hybrid AF combines phase and contrast detection; 779-area system (maker UK). Current Japan table recognises people, animals, cars, motorcycles, trains and aircraft; launch reviews described only people/animals, so later recognition is not treated as a launch feature. Continuous autofocus while zooming requires compatible lens firmwareContrast autofocus with DFD; face, eye, body and animal recognition, tracking and 225-area selection. Maker rates detection EV −6 to 20 with F1.4, ISO 100 and AFS. Optional DJI LiDAR Range Finder and RS 3 Pro send ranging information by USB to drive lens focus without a separate focus motor; these accessories are not included
ShutterMechanical 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 secondsMechanical 1/8000–60 seconds or bulb up to 30 minutes; electronic front curtain 1/2000–60 seconds; electronic 1/8000–60 seconds, with separate bulb restrictions
Burst detailFull-resolution electronic SH30 at 30 fps AFS/AFC/MF; SH buffer 200 RAW/RAW+JPEG/JPEG frames in the current maker table. Mechanical/electronic-first-curtain 9 fps AFS/MF or 7 fps AFC; normal electronic 9/8 fps respectively. Normal RAW/RAW+JPEG at least 200 and JPEG at least 300 frames under maker conditions. UK launch article's broad 300-frame statement is not substituted for the current SH limitNative 7 fps with AFS/MF or 5 fps with AFC, for mechanical, electronic front curtain and electronic shutters. Maker buffer more than 24 RAW/RAW+JPEG or more than 999 JPEG with specified UHS-II U3 card in slot 1. Reduced-resolution 6K Photo 30 fps and 4K Photo 60/30 fps are video-derived JPEG modes, not native full-resolution bursts
Stabilisation detailFive-axis sensor-shift B.I.S., rated five stops with S-R2060 at 60 mm; compatible-lens Dual I.S.2 rated 6.5 stops with S-E70200 at 200 mm, CIPA yaw/pitch conditions (Panasonic Australia). Active I.S. provides additional video correction, with mode restrictionsFive-axis sensor-shift Body I.S., maker 5-stop CIPA yaw/pitch rating with S-R2060 at 60 mm; Dual I.S. 2 combines compatible lens O.I.S. for 6.5 stops with S-E70200 at 200 mm
Exposure controls–1728-zone multi-pattern metering; multiple, centre-weighted, spot and highlight-weighted modes. Still exposure compensation ±5 EV, video ±3 EV

C4K/4K up to 59.94p uses APS-C crop; lower frame rates have full-frame modes. Full HD high-speed modes have separate sensor-output/crop limits. Built-in cooling fan; maker UK specifies 0–40 °C for its unlimited-recording claim, while 6K/5.9K stops once after 30 minutes with Thermal Management STANDARD. No S5IIX internal ProRes, SSD or streaming features copiedInternal C4K 4096×2160 at 59.94p uses APS-C or pixel-by-pixel crop and 4:2:0 8-bit LongGOP; full-frame C4K 29.97p supports 4:2:2 10-bit. UHD 3840×2160 at 59.94p supports cropped 4:2:0 10-bit. Maker limits internal 10-bit C4K/4K recording to 30 minutes, while specified 4K 8-bit modes have no fixed time limit subject to power, storage and operating conditions. External 12-bit HDMI RAW up to 5888×3312 at 29.97p requires compatible Atomos or Blackmagic recorder; this is not internal 5.9K recording. V-Log/V-Gamut and maker 14+ stop claim
