Burst detailUp to 16 fps in speed-priority continuous mode with focus and exposure fixed to first frame; ordinary continuous mode approximately 5.5 fps. Speed decreases as buffer fillsUp to 16 fps speed-priority continuous shooting with focus and exposure fixed to first frame; ordinary continuous shooting approximately 3.5 fps. Rate slows as buffer fills
Stabilisation detailNo optical, sensor-shift or electronic image stabilisationElectronic stabilisation for movies only; no optical, sensor-shift or still-image stabilisation. SteadyShot is unavailable for HFR and ordinary 120p/100p recording Changing SteadyShot changes the angle of view; it is also disabled during PC Remote shooting

Video detailInternal XAVC S/AVCHD/MP4 Full HD recording up to 60p NTSC or 50p PAL; XAVC S 50 Mbps. Ordinary 120/100 fps recording is 1280 × 720, not Full HD. Clean 3840 × 2160 HDMI output requires a separate recorder; the camera cannot record 4K to its memory card. HFR captures up to 960 fps NTSC or 1000 fps PAL with reduced sensor readout resolution, scaled to Full HD playback; no audio in HFR. S-Log2 and picture profiles availableInternal XAVC S 3840 × 2160 at 30p or 24p NTSC, 25p PAL, 100 or 60 Mbps. Full HD ordinary high-speed recording reaches 120p NTSC or 100p PAL at 100 or 60 Mbps. Separate HFR capture reaches 960 fps NTSC or 1000 fps PAL with reduced sensor readout resolution, scaled to Full HD playback and without audio; these are brief slow-motion captures, not full-resolution 960p video. S-Log2 picture profile and clean HDMI output supported
