Release year20242023
SensorAPS-C (23.3 × 15.5 mm) Exmor R CMOS; about 26.0 MP effective (stills)

Effective resolution for movies is about 19.9 MP; the APS-C sensor brings roughly a 1.5× crop factor versus full frame.

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.

AutofocusFast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 495 for movies; human, animal and bird recognition

Phase detection quickly works out which way to shift focus; eye and subject tracking can be used for video.

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.

4K video4K up to 59.94p; XAVC HS/S 4:2:2 10-bit 200 Mbps, XAVC S-I 4:2:2 10-bit 600 Mbps

Sony says 4K is oversampled from 5.6K. 10-bit 4:2:2 reduces banding when grading; high bit rates such as S-I may need a fast (V90-class) card.

Full HD videoUp to 119.88p (4:2:0 8-bit) Sony—
Colour profilesS-Log3, S-Cinetone (Cinematic Vlog Setting), user LUT import

S-Log3 records wide dynamic range as a flat image that needs grading; S-Cinetone gives a cinematic look without grading.

Sony		—
StabilisationLens-based optical stabilisation; electronic Active mode for movies

There is no in-body stabilisation. Active mode reduces shake by cropping the image.

Sony		—
Shutter and burstElectronic shutter only; 1/8000–30 s; up to 11 fps

With no mechanical shutter, flash sync is limited to 1/30 s and fast-moving subjects can distort.

AudioBuilt-in three-capsule stereo microphone; 3.5 mm mic and headphone jacks; Multi Interface Shoe with digital audio interface

With the Multi Interface Shoe, compatible Sony microphones send audio digitally to the camera without a cable.

BatteryNP-FZ100; about 610 shots (CIPA); about 130 minutes of actual movie recording

USB Power Delivery charging and powering over USB while recording are supported.

Sony		NP-FZ100; about 530 shots with the viewfinder, about 560 with the screen (CIPA); about 165 minutes continuous video Sony
Card slot1 × SD (UHS-I/UHS-II) SonySingle 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
ConnectivityUSB-C (5 Gbps, USB 3.2), micro HDMI (4K 10-bit 4:2:2 output), Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2

Over USB-C the camera can also be used as a webcam or live-streaming source.

Image stabilisation—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.
