SensorAPS-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.

Sony		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.

Sony
AutofocusFast 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		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.

Image stabilisationSensor-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		Sensor-shift 5-axis stabilisation; 7.0 stops (CIPA)

Sony measures 7.0 stops with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens on pitch and yaw only; the benefit can differ with other lenses and axes.

Sony
Shutter and burstMechanical 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.

Screen3.0-inch touch TFT; 1,036,800 dots; side-opening vari-angle (176° opening, 270° rotation)

The side-opening screen can be turned to face forward so the user can see themselves when shooting selfies and vlogs.

Video4K 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		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.

Sony
Card slotSingle 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.

Sony		Single SD slot, UHS-I/UHS-II compatible

With one slot there is no backup recording to two cards at once. High-bit-rate video needs a fast UHS-II card.

Sony
ConnectionsUSB-C 5 Gbps (USB 3.2); micro HDMI (Type D, 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit output); 3.5 mm microphone and headphone; Multi Interface Shoe with digital audio interface

Over USB-C the camera can draw power and charge its battery with USB Power Delivery; it can also connect to a computer as a webcam over USB.

Sony		USB-C (5 Gbps, USB 3.2); micro HDMI (Type D); 3.5 mm mic and headphone; Multi Interface Shoe; Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz; Bluetooth 4.2

Charging and powering the camera over USB-C with USB Power Delivery are supported.
