20.4MP Live MOS Sensor and TruePic IX Image Processor: A high-resolution 20.4MP Live MOS sensor and updated TruePic IX image processor work together to provide fast shooting performance, a sensitivity range up to ISO 25600, and versatile 4K video recording capabilities.
121-Point All Cross-Type Phase-Detection AF: An advanced autofocus system combines both 121 phase-detection AF points and 121 contrast-detection AF points for focusing performance that is both quick and accurate.
5-Axis Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization: In-body, sensor-shift image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 6.5 stops with any lens in use and compensates for camera movements that become especially noticeable when working with telephoto shots, macro imagery, and long exposures.
DCI and UHD 4K Video Recording and OM-Log400: The sensor and processor also support recording both DCI (4096 x 2160) and UHD (3840 x 2160) 4K movies.
