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		35 mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS (35.9 × 23.9 mm); about 33.0 MP effective for stills, 27.6 MP for movies

Exmor R is a back-illuminated sensor; with the circuitry behind the light-sensitive layer it gathers more light in dim conditions.

StabilisationNo in-body stabilisation · digital stabilisation for video only

For stills, stabilisation requires a lens with OIS.

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, 627 for movies; EV −4–20; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and aeroplane recognition

Subject recognition finds the chosen type (for example a bird) in the frame and tracks its eye or body; choosing the right subject type in the menu strengthens tracking.

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 59.94p, 10-bit 4:2:2 with XAVC HS and XAVC S (up to 200 Mbps); up to 600 Mbps with XAVC S-I

DPReview says 4K 30p is downsampled from a full-width 7K readout, while 4K 60p is recorded in Super 35 (APS-C) mode with a 1.5× crop. 10-bit 4:2:2 reduces banding when grading colour.
