| Lens and shooting | ||
| Lens mount | L-Mount | L-Mount |
| Stabilisation | Lens and sensor shift | Lens and sensor shift |
| Maximum continuous burst | 30 fps | 7 fps |
| Lens detail | – | Interchangeable L-Mount body; listed kit lenses are separate optical configurations, not built-in lens specifications |
| Autofocus | Phase 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 | Contrast 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 |
| Shutter | Mechanical 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 | Mechanical 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 detail | Full-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 | Native 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 detail | Five-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 | Five-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 |
| 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 | – |
