Full-frame with approximately 24.2M full-frame CMOS sensor effective pixels of approximately 24.2 million The CMOS sensor delivers high-resolution, precise rendering, and a wide dynamic range while achieving high-precision AF thanks to its on-chip phase detection sensor. Furthermore, its faster readout speed enables faster continuous shooting and minimizes the rolling shutter effect (distortion that occurs when shooting fast-moving subjects) during electronic shutter and video recording. This sensor achieves a superior balance of high sensitivity and resolution.
The Venus Engine is equipped with L2 Technology (L-Square Technology), jointly developed by Leica and Panasonic. It quickly processes image information output from the high-pixel sensor, delivering high-definition, natural-looking textures. Furthermore, new Intelligent Detail Processing and noise reduction deliver superior image quality, high sensitivity, and color reproduction in both still and video capture, and it also quickly processes high-resolution video, including 6K 30p 10-bit recording. Faster processing and an improved AF algorithm significantly improve subject detection, enabling it to distinguish between the subject's movement and characteristics for highly accurate AF. 779-Point On-Chip Phase-Detection AF: On-chip phase-detection AF uses an on-chip phase-detection sensor to quickly and accurately calculate the distance to the subject. Its 779-point AF system captures dynamically moving subjects, and when combined with auto-detection AF, it delivers superior AF tracking performance even in backlit or low-light situations where the subject is difficult to distinguish, scenes with multiple people crossing paths, and even smaller subjects. Advanced Recognition AF: Development of recognition AI using deep learning technology enables faster and more accurate recognition of smaller subjects in addition to the existing "People Recognition" and "Animal Recognition" functions. In addition to the existing recognition functions, the camera also now includes "Car Recognition," "Motorcycle Recognition," and "Animal Eye Recognition." By combining distance information, it achieves highly accurate focusing performance for both still and video shooting. Versatile Focus Functions: Versatile focus functions are useful for various shooting environments, changing weather and shooting environments, and capturing a variety of subjects. By selecting the optimal AF function for the shooting scene and subject, you can concentrate on capturing the perfect shot. Auto-detection AF allows for greater flexibility by combining various AF modes, allowing you to select the optimal combination for each shooting scene. 5-Axis, 5.0-Step In-Body Image Stabilization (B.I.S.) The camera's built-in in-body image stabilization (B.I.S.) utilizes a newly developed algorithm to compensate for camera shake based on information from the high-precision gyro sensor, image sensor, and accelerometer. As a result, it achieves image stabilization performance equivalent to 5.0 stops of shutter speed*1. This further enhances support for shooting in previously difficult situations, such as low light, enabling greater mobility and a wider range of creative expression. The camera's advanced E.I.S. video peripheral distortion correction reduces peripheral distortion when using wide-angle lenses. Combined with Active I.S., which is effective for video recording, it enables reduced blur and peripheral distortion when shooting while walking, even with significant camera shake, such as with gimbal shooting. A new "Strong" correction mode has been added to "Standard" to accommodate even greater camera shake. MP4 (Lite) Video Format: The low-bitrate MP4 (Lite) video format is now available. You can trim and edit videos from the wide 3:2 aspect ratio to your desired aspect ratio with a photographic feel. Small file sizes and fast transfer speeds make editing smoother. Video quality is 3.8K (3840x2560) at 29.97p at 50Mbps, making it the ideal video format for sharing short videos on social media. Full-pixel High-Speed ​​Continuous Shooting: Ultra-high-speed continuous shooting at approximately 30 frames per second at approximately 24.2 million full pixels. The electronic shutter records RAW+JPEG, allowing you to capture clear, high-quality continuous shots while tracking moving subjects. Pre-Continuous Shooting: The SH Pre-Continuous Shooting feature allows you to start continuous shooting before starting continuous shooting. When set to High-Speed ​​Continuous Shooting (SH PRE), continuous shooting begins in advance when you half-press the shutter button, which is the same action you would when starting continuous shooting. It can record the period up to the time the shutter button is fully pressed (starting continuous shooting). With a pre-recording time of 0.5 seconds, it can take approximately 15 pre-continuous shots. Even if you miss a precious moment of a fast-moving subject due to delayed human reaction or release time lag, the camera automatically records the moment in continuous shooting, so you won't miss the decisive moment like before.
