X-TRANS CMOS 5 HS
26.1-megapixel stacked back-side illuminated sensor
A brand new 26.1 megapixel imaging sensor combines our existing back-side illuminated technology with a stacked, layered structure that quadruples readout speeds for faster image processing capabilities.
X-Processor 5
Two-times faster than X-Processor 4, which doubles the processing speed of the camera.

High-speed burst shooting at up to 30fps for over 1000 images
Increased memory capacity dramatically extends the camera’s ability to record continuous frames in burst mode without stopping. Reach blackout free speeds of up to 40fps, make over 1000 frames continuously at 30fps in JPEG, or write RAW images at 20fps* when using electronic shutter on X.

Improved autofocus for better subject tracking in almost any lighting condition
An improved AF prediction algorithm alongside X-Trans CMOS 5 HS and X-Processor 5 provides a major boost to subject tracking and autofocus accuracy on moving objects, most notably in Zone AF and low-contrast conditions.

Up to 240 minutes of continuous recording
The camera features a new heat-dissipating structure, increasing the video recording time up to 240 minutes of 4K/60P video. *

*When recording video at 25℃ from a cool start, with the auto power-off temperature set at “High,” bitrate of 100Mbps, a vertical battery grip VG-XH attached and using three batteries. The recording duration depends on remaining battery charge and the type and capacity of a memory card used. When the main unit heats up, filming may automatically be terminated.

Up to seven stops of in-body image stabilization.
An all-new 5-axis in-body image stabilization system, made possible by X-Processor 5 and a sensing control function, provides up to seven stops of compensation. This powerful feature gives users the freedom to handhold in conditions that previously would have required support, such as sports or low light.

5.76 million dot high-resolution electronic viewfinder
The high-resolution electronic viewfinder has a 0.8x magnification and uses 5.76 million dots for incredible detail. A refresh rate of approx. 120fps supresses image blur and distortion typically caused by looking through the finder at extreme angles, making it easier to track moving subjects more accurately.
