• 20 frames of Pre Continuous Shooting
  With Pre-Continuous Shooting enabled, an additional 20-frames are captured before you fully press the shutter button, allowing for even more versatility, and enabling new shooting workflows to ensure elusive and unpredictable subjects can be precisely captured up to half of a second before your reaction. 

In-Body Image Stabilizer with up to 8.5 stops⁽³⁾ of shake correction effect (center) and 7.5 stops at periphery.

• When capturing photos at lower shutter speeds, the In-Body Image Stabilizer system provides up to 8.5 stops of shake correction at the center and up to 7.5 stops at the periphery. This is crucial for non-image stabilized lenses, but also effective for optically image stabilized lenses with Coordinated Image Stabilization (In-Body + Lens optical stabilization).

Why, and what is Open Gate Recording?

• Today’s hybrid image makers face immense demands, often requiring social media videos to accompany photos and videos delivered to clients. With Open Gate recording enabled, the camera scans the full-frame, 3:2 aspect ratio image sensor area to record video imagery in the the same 3:2 aspect ratio as still images. This allows post-production versatility to reformat the 3:2 ratio imagery to various formats, such as vertical 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, or 4:5.
