AF-S sensitivity is EV −6 to 20 with F1.2 at ISO 100, or EV −11 to 20 in the specified Bright Monitoring mode.
ShutterElectronically controlled vertical-traverse focal-plane shutter; 30 seconds to 1/4000 second plus Bulb; flash sync 1/160 second; selectable electronic first curtainMechanical and electronic shutters; exact Sony specifications list 30 seconds to 1/8000 second for stills, with Bulb for mechanical shooting. Flash sync 1/250 second full-frame or 1/320 second APS-C with compatible Sony flash; electronic first curtain supported.
Burst detailContinuous Hi approximately 11 fps, Mid 6 fps or Lo 2.5 fps; Sony's launch announcement confirms autofocus tracking at 11 fps. Buffer approximately 49 large Fine/Standard JPEGs or 21 RAW/RAW+JPEG images in Hi; rate and capacity depend on shooting conditions and card.Up to approximately 30 fps blackout-free electronic Hi+ with AF/AE tracking and up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second; mechanical Hi+ up to 10 fps. Maker buffer figures include 215 fine JPEG, 150 RAW or 65 compressed HQ RAW frames; card and recording conditions affect results. Pre-Capture and continuous-speed boost supported; lens compatibility affects maximum speed.
Stabilisation detailNo sensor-shift stabilisation; optical correction requires a compatible OSS lensFive-axis sensor shift; Sony claims 8.5 stops at the centre and 7.0 at the periphery under CIPA 2024 pitch/yaw/roll conditions with FE 50mm F1.2 GM and long-exposure noise reduction off. Dynamic Active video stabilisation narrows the field of view more than Active mode.

Video
Highest video resolution1920 × 1080 at 60 fps7680 × 4320 at 30 fps
Video detailJapanese launch specification provides AVCHD 1920 × 1080 at 60p or 24p, plus separate 60i modes. PAL versions offer 50p/25p (Photography Blog). Original recording formats are AVCHD and MP4; HDMI 4K output is for still-image playback, not 4K movie recording. Sony limits a continuous movie to approximately 29 minutes; its 90-minute battery figure totals restarted recordings.XAVC HS 8K at approximately 30p/25p/24p supports 10-bit 4:2:2 or 4:2:0. 8K oversamples from 8.2K and narrows the field of view. Full-frame 4K 60p is uncropped; uncropped 4K 120p requires 4K angle-of-view priority On. Dual Gain Shooting works only at 4K 30p or lower. Sony's 120-minute 8K claim uses 30p 200 Mbps 4:2:0 10-bit, temperature setting High, monitor open and 25°C ambient; it is not an unconditional recording limit.
