Approx. 24.2M full-frame The full-frame CMOS sensor with approximately 24.2 effective megapixels delivers high-precision autofocus thanks to its on-chip phase detection sensor, while also achieving high resolution, precise rendering, and a wide dynamic range. 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. In terms of AF performance, faster calculations and improved AF algorithms have significantly improved subject detection, enabling accurate autofocus by identifying the subject's movement and characteristics. 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. The 779-point AF system not only captures dynamically moving subjects, but also delivers superior AF tracking performance in backlit or low-light situations where the subject is difficult to distinguish, scenes with multiple people crossing paths, and even smaller subjects. Improved Recognition AF: Thanks to the development of recognition AI using deep learning technology, the camera can now quickly and accurately recognize smaller subjects in addition to the existing person recognition and animal recognition functions. In addition to the existing recognition functions, the camera now also 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 capturing a variety of subjects, regardless of weather or shooting environment. By selecting the optimal AF function for the shooting scene and subject, you can concentrate on capturing your masterpiece. Auto-detection AF allows you to combine various AF modes for greater flexibility, 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 correct 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 supports shooting in previously difficult situations, such as low light, enabling more mobile shooting and further expanding the scope of expression. The advanced E.I.S. video peripheral distortion correction reduces peripheral distortion when using wide-angle lenses. When combined with Active I.S., which is effective for video shooting, it enables shooting while walking and suppressing blur and peripheral distortion, even when shooting with a large amount of camera shake, such as with gimbal shooting. In addition to Standard, a new Strong correction mode has been added to handle even larger shakes.
Video Format: MP4 (Lite) The low-bitrate video format MP4 (Lite) is now available. From the wide 3:2 aspect ratio, you can trim and edit videos 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) 29.97p 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 high-quality continuous shots while tracking moving subjects.
Pre-Continuous Shooting: The SH Pre-Continuous Shooting function allows you to record continuous shots before starting continuous shooting. When set to high-speed continuous shooting (SH PRE), continuous shooting starts in advance when you half-press the shutter button to begin continuous shooting. You can record the entire sequence up to when you fully press the shutter button (starting continuous shooting). With a pre-recording time of 0.5 seconds, you can capture 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, so you'll never miss a decisive moment like before.
