Autofocus425 phase-detection and 169 contrast-detection points; AF-A/S/C, DMF and manual focus; Lock-on AF and Eye AFFast Hybrid AF with up to 759 phase-detection points for stills or movies and approximately 94% still-image area coverage. Recognition covers people, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aircraft; Auto subject recognition supported. 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.
Shutter30 seconds to 1/4000 second plus Bulb; electronic first curtain and silent shooting; flash sync 1/160 secondMechanical 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 detailUp to 11 fps with AF tracking; up to 8 fps with live preview. Sony lists buffers of 47 Fine JPEG or 21 RAW/RAW+JPEG images.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 detailOptical correction depends on the lens; no sensor-shift stabilisationFive-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 detailXAVC S 4K up to 30p/24p in NTSC mode, up to 100 Mbps; Full HD up to 120p; S-Log2, S-Log3 and S-Gamut profiles. Sony specifies 6K-equivalent full-pixel readout at 24p; 30p uses a smaller readout area.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.
