  Real-time Recognition AF supports [Human], [Animal], [Bird], [Insect], [Car/Train] and [Airplane] recognition,*20 and an [Auto] mode can automatically select the subject type.*20 Animal recognition has been improved by about 30%,*21 and now recognizes the eyes of some grazing and small animals in addition to the eyes, heads, and faces of dogs, cats, and similar. Bird recognition has been improved by about 50%.*21
   
• Reliable Real-time Tracking*22
  AI-based Real-time Tracking*22 accurately focuses on and tracks the selected subject while the shutter button is half-pressed. If the subject cannot be recognized or subject recognition AF is OFF, Sony’s original algorithm will process color, pattern, and spatial data at high speed for reliable focus and tracking. If [Touch Tracking] is engaged, touching a subject on the monitor will instantly select it for tracking.
   
• High-density 759-point*23 focal plane phase-detection AF
  759*23 phase detection points in a high-density focal plane phase-detection AF system cover approximately 94% of the image area for precise focusing. The large amount of data from the image sensor is processed in real time by the new processing engine to ensure ideal focus in situations that can normally be challenging, such as small subjects or people in a night scene where focus often falls on the background.
   
• Flexible focus area settings
  The XS size can make focusing easier when foreground objects such as branches are in the way, for example. It is also possible to create a custom focus area of specified size and even vertical aspect ratio to optimize focusing for a wide variety of subjects and scenes. Shape and size can be set via the touch-sensitive monitor.
   
• Precise AF in low light
  The latest AF algorithms achieve high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-4.0 in AF-S mode (ISO 100 equivalent, F2.0 lens) so that AF is precise and reliable even in low light.
   
• Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps*24 with full AF/AE tracking
  High-speed bursts at up to 30 fps*24 with uncompromised AF/AE tracking are now possible when using the electronic shutter, and there is no viewfinder blackout when shooting stills. 60 AF/AE calculations per second ensure that fleeting moments can be captured with confidence, even when shooting fast, unpredictable action or portraits where expressions can change in an instant.
   
• Pre-Capture captures moments prior to shutter release*25
  This feature “retroactively” captures moments that occurred before the shutter was released. After half-pressing the shutter button to set focus, full-pressing the shutter captures a series of images starting from up to 1 second*26 before the shutter button was initially half-pressed at all framerates up to 30 fps.
   
• One-button Continuous Shooting Speed Boost temporarily boosts speed while shooting bursts*27
  This assignable function makes it possible to change continuous shooting speed at any time while shooting a continuous burst. Instantly switch from a “normal” burst rate to a higher rate when the decisive moment approaches, for example. Continuous Shooting Speed Boost is most useful when the timing of the desired moment can be roughly predicted. It is now possible to use this feature even while shooting single frames.
   
• 7K oversampled 4K 60p recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning*28
  The new BIONZ XR2 processor and Exmor RS sensor enable full pixel readout with no pixel binning when recording full frame, allowing 3.3x the data required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) to be compressed into spectacularly detailed 4K 60p*28 images with minimal moiré and jaggies.
   
• High frame rate 4K recording at up to 120p*29
  Internal 4K recording at up to 120p*29 makes it possible to produce up to 5x slow motion video with revealing 4K resolution.*30 Frame rates up to 240 fps*31 are available when recording at Full HD resolution, allowing up to 10x slow motion playback (24p recording) for detailed sports analysis and more.

Audio Noise Reduction works with the camera’s built-in microphone and external microphones*32 to dramatically reduce wind noise and other continuous environmental noise, including mechanical noise from a power zoom lens.*33 [Wind NR] and generic [Noise Cut] settings are available.*34
   
• Active Mode stabilization supports handheld shooting at 4K 120p*35
  Active Mode optical image stabilization*36 is particularly effective for handheld movie shooting and now supports 4K 120p recording.*35 Active Mode uses the camera’s stabilization unit, gyro sensors, and image stabilization algorithms to precisely detect and correct for camera movement. Stabilization is even more effective when the body is used with a compatible stabilized lens.*37
   
• Extreme stabilization with Dynamic active Mode*38
  The Dynamic active Mode adds electronic stabilization to the optical stabilization system for even greater effect. Dynamic active Mode stabilization is approximately 30% more effective than Active Mode stabilization,*39 making it possible to shoot smooth, stable images even when running around with the camera.
   
• Auto Framing*40 automatically adjusts composition
  Auto Framing*40 uses AI-based subject recognition to automatically keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies, even when the camera is stationary. To fully convey the user’s intent, it is possible to control the timing at which Auto Framing will begin, the size of the subject in the frame, and the tracking speed. Auto Framing can be ideal for interviews, music performance, cooking, and much more.
   
• S-Log3 supports post-production workflows
  The S-Log3 gamma curve helps to maintain smooth, natural gradations from shadows to mid-gray (18% gray), making it easier to grade for high image quality in post-production. S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine color spaces are supported. Imported user LUTs (.cube)*41 can be registered and used as alternatives to the preset picture profiles (PPLUT 1 through 4) to provide the final graded output.*42
   
• Automatic creation of still images from Shot Marks
  If this function is set up before shooting, frames marked with Shot Marks during movie recording are automatically extracted and saved as stills when recording has finished. It is also possible to extract and save any other frames as stills after recording.
   
• Original 4-axis monitor maximizes shooting flexibility
  Sony’s 4-axis multi-angle monitor swings upward by 98°, downward by 40°, and sideways by 180°. When open it rotates up to 270º.*43 The 3.2 type 2.1 million dot (3:2 aspect ratio) display panel is touch sensitive, has a wide color gamut,*44 and provides clear viewing in bright outdoor conditions. A [Monitor Low Bright] mode reduces monitor brightness and battery drain when the camera has not been used for a preset time.
