  8. 8Sony a1 II, In-body image stabilization: 8.5 stops is the CIPA centre rating; 7.0 stops at the periphery.
  9. 9Sony RX100 VII, In-body image stabilization: Sony rates the optical (lens-shift) SteadyShot at 4.0 stops at the 200 mm telephoto end, not a body-only CIPA figure.
  10. 10Nikon Z 30, Aspect ratios: Native DX ratio is 3:2; 1:1 and 16:9 are in-camera crop modes.
  11. 11Sony RX100 VII, Aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1 sizes are in-camera crop modes over the native 3:2 sensor area.
  12. 12Sony a7 V, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Maximum continuous shooting speed achieved using mechanical shutter in Hi+ mode.
  13. 13Nikon Z 30, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Nikon's in-house measured maximum; the rate is approximate.
  14. 14Sony RX100 VII, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The 'Hi' burst setting is electronic-shutter only; 10 fps ('Mid') is the fastest mechanical-shutter continuous rate.
  15. 15Sony a7 V, Continuous shooting (electronic): Maximum continuous shooting speed achieved using electronic shutter in Hi+ mode.
  16. 16Sony RX100 VII, Continuous shooting (electronic): Blackout-free 20 fps continuous includes AF/AE tracking; the separate 'Single Burst' mode takes 7 shots at up to 90 fps.
  17. 17Sony a1 II, Pre-burst capture duration: Pre-capture buffers between 0.03 s and 1 s of frames before full shutter press.
  18. 18Sony RX100 VII, AF subject detection: Maker names only human and animal recognition (Eye AF / Real-time Tracking); no bird or vehicle categories are listed.
  19. 19Sony a7 V, 4K max frame rate: Maximum 4K frame rate is available in XAVC HS 4K 4:2:0 10-bit mode.

  22. 22Sony a7 V, 4K max frame rate (full width): 4K 120p needs an APS-C/Super 35 crop; the full sensor width tops out at 4K 60p.
  23. 23Sony a1 II, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 59.94p; 4K 100/120p requires a 1.1x crop.
