Image stabilisation5-axis sensor shift; 7.0 stops per CIPA; digital stabilisation and IS Mode Boost for movies

The 7.0-stop figure was measured with the XF35mmF1.4 R lens on the pitch and yaw axes only; it may be lower with other lenses.

Fujifilm		Sensor-shift 5-axis stabilisation; 5.0 stops (CIPA)

The 5-stop figure is pitch/yaw correction measured by Sony to the CIPA standard with the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM lens; it varies by lens and focal length. In video, Active mode crops the image slightly for stronger stabilisation.

AutofocusHybrid (phase detection + contrast); down to −7 EV with the XF50mmF1.0; face/eye and subject detection (animal, bird, automobile, motorcycle/bike, airplane, train) FujifilmFast Hybrid AF; 759 phase-detection points for stills, 495 for movies; AI recognition of humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aeroplanes; EV -3 to 20

Hybrid AF combines phase detection with contrast detection. The recognition function finds and tracks the selected subject type in the frame; the user chooses the subject type manually.

Sony
VideoUp to 6.2K at 29.97p; DCI 4K/4K up to 59.94p; up to 360 Mbps; 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording; HEVC/H.264

According to Fujifilm, actual recording time at 6.2K is about 85 minutes per battery. For heat during long recordings an optional cooling fan can be attached; the box includes the fan connector cover.

Fujifilm		4K up to 119.88p in 10-bit 4:2:2 (XAVC S/HS 280 Mbps); XAVC S-I 4K 59.94p at 600 Mbps; Full HD 119.88p; 4-channel 24-bit audio

10-bit 4:2:2 recording keeps more tonal information for colour grading. XAVC S-I compresses each frame separately for easier editing, but files are very large. Four-channel audio requires a compatible Multi Interface Shoe microphone.
