It covers an ISO range of 100 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions. The camera captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports a burst mode at up to 11 frames per second, making it a capable option for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Video is recorded in 8-bit color depth and supports Standard and Film Simulation color profiles. For stills, color profiles include Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Film Simulation options such as Provia, Velvia, and Astia.

The autofocus system combines Phase Detection and Contrast Detection across 49 focus points.
