Image Quality and Resolution
The 24.1 MP sensor captures enough detail for large prints and heavy cropping. You get four aspect ratios to frame your shots right in the camera.
Native sensitivity maxes out at 12,800 ISO, giving you decent low-light performance before digital noise becomes a major issue.
Speed and Autofocus Limits
Mechanical continuous shooting hits 6.5 fps, but the electronic shutter does not support continuous shooting. The autofocus system detects human subjects to keep people sharp in your frame.
With a top mechanical shutter speed of 4,000 1/s, you can freeze fast daytime action if you work within that limit.
Video Capabilities
You can record clips in 4K resolution at 25 fps using the H.264 codec. All 4K footage uses a ~1.6x centre crop, meaning you lose the full width of the sensor.
Video tops out at 8-bit color depth with no log profile support and no raw recording, which limits advanced color grading in post-production.
Handling and Ergonomics
The body weighs 356 g with its battery and memory card inserted. It features a fixed 3-inch screen with 1.04 M dots alongside a 2.36 M dot viewfinder.
There is no built-in weather sealing, so you must keep it safe from heavy dust and moisture. The battery delivers 430 shots per charge.
