Release year20242023
Sensor35 mm full-frame (35.9 × 24.0 mm) Exmor RS stacked CMOS; approx. 50.1 MP effective

The stacked design allows very fast sensor readout, reducing rolling-shutter distortion with the electronic shutter and enabling blackout-free shooting.

Sony		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.

ProcessorBIONZ XR and a dedicated AI processing unit Sony—
Continuous shooting30 fps with electronic shutter; 10 fps with mechanical shutter; pre-capture

Pre-capture also records frames from just before the shutter is fully pressed, helping catch unpredictable moments such as birds or sport.

Autofocus759-point phase-detection hybrid AF covering about 92% of the sensor; human, animal, bird, insect, car, train and airplane recognition SonyFast 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.

Sony
In-body stabilisation5-axis; 8.5 stops at centre, 7.0 at periphery (CIPA 2024, with FE 50 mm F1.2 GM)

The stop figure applies to the stated lens and test condition; the effect differs with other lenses.

Video8K (7680 × 4320) 30p/25p/24p XAVC HS; 4K up to 120p; Full HD 120p and 240 fps slow motion; 10-bit 4:2:2

XAVC HS uses H.265/HEVC and XAVC S H.264; 10-bit 4:2:2 leaves more room for colour grading.

Sony		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.

Sony
Card slots2 slots; each accepts CFexpress Type A or SD (UHS-I/UHS-II)

CFexpress Type A offers much higher write speeds than SD for 8K and long bursts.

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.
