Sensor26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4

APS-C is a sensor size smaller than full frame and common in mirrorless cameras. X-Trans is Fujifilm's own colour filter layout.

Fujifilm
APS-C (23.3 × 15.5 mm) Exmor R CMOS; approx. 26.0 MP effective (27.0 MP total)

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor: the circuitry sits behind the light-gathering surface, so more light reaches the pixels. Video uses up to about 19.9 MP of the sensor.

AutofocusHybrid AF with phase detection down to −7 EV · subject detection: animal, bird, car, motorcycle and bike, airplane, train, insect, drone

−7 EV shows that focusing can work in very dark scenes; the lower the value, the less light is needed.

Fujifilm
Fast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 495 for movies; AI recognition of humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aeroplanes; EV -3 to 20

Hybrid AF combines phase detection with contrast detection. The recognition function finds and tracks the selected subject type in the frame; the user chooses the subject type manually.

Video6.2K 3:2 30p 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording · 4K 60p · Full HD 240p · 12-bit RAW over HDMI (6.2K / 5.2K)

10-bit 4:2:2 keeps more tone and colour information for grading. HDMI RAW needs a compatible external recorder.

Fujifilm
4K up to 119.88p in 10-bit 4:2:2 (XAVC S/HS 280 Mbps); XAVC S-I 4K 59.94p at 600 Mbps; Full HD 119.88p; 4-channel 24-bit audio

10-bit 4:2:2 recording keeps more tonal information for colour grading. XAVC S-I compresses each frame separately for easier editing, but files are very large. Four-channel audio requires a compatible Multi Interface Shoe microphone.

Image stabilisation—Sensor-shift 5-axis stabilisation; 5.0 stops (CIPA)

The 5-stop figure is pitch/yaw correction measured by Sony to the CIPA standard with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; it varies by lens and focal length. In video, Active mode crops the image slightly for stronger stabilisation.

Sony
Shutter and burst—Mechanical 1/4000–30 s, electronic 1/8000–30 s; flash sync 1/160 s; Hi+ 11 fps; buffer 59 RAW, 143 JPEG Extra Fine frames

The buffer figure is the approximate number of frames the camera can shoot in a row before waiting to write to the card.

Sony
Card slot—Single SD slot; UHS-I and UHS-II

A UHS-II card helps with high-bitrate video and clears the buffer faster after long bursts. There is no second slot for backup recording.
