Lightning-fast AF
Fast continuous shooting with AF/AE at up to 11fps 3 Never miss a moment of the action thanks to fast internal processing and a high-capacity buffer memory. Fire off shots at up to 11fps 3 with after-view or 8fps 3 for live-view, with minimal display lag, and take up to around 116 shots in JPEG (Standard) or 46 shots in compressed RAW format in one continuous burst. 4
Reliable AF for great action shots
Silent continuous shooting at up to 8fps 7 When your shoot calls for absolute quiet, such as when you're photographing a live performance, silent shooting with no shutter noise allows shooting at up to 8fps 7 with AF/AE tracking, even in AF-C mode, with Real-time Eye AF or with Real-time Tracking, expanding your range of shooting options.
425 phase-detection AF points
Newly adopted AI-based subject recognition technology processes a vast amount of data to detect and track even rapidly moving subjects.
0.02 sec 4 AF speed
Enhanced Real-time Eye AF 8 reliably recognizes human faces and focuses precisely on a person's eyes. When AF-C is set, Real-time Eye AF 8 maintains stable focus on a moving subject even when part of the face is hidden, the face is backlit or the subject is facing downwards
Persistent tracking ability
Now you can select Left Eye, Right Eye or Auto from the menu in advance, leaving you free to concentrate on composition. These selections can be assigned to custom buttons, allowing you to quickly toggle between choices mid-shoot.

Real-time Eye AF for Animals supports animal tracking, allowing fast, precise, automatic detection and tracking of animal eyes, with just a half-press of the shutter button. This new capability will vastly increase the photographer's success rate when shooting animals in the wild or beloved pets at home - situations where accurate focus positioning has previously been a challenge. 10
Fast continuous shooting with AF/AE at up to 11fps 3
For sporting events and other situations where your subjects are moving quickly, keeping them in constant focus can make all the difference between catching an important, dramatic moment or missing it.
Silent continuous shooting at up to 8fps 7
A newly developed subject recognition algorithm processes spatial information based on color, subject distance (depth), pattern (brightness), and face and eye information at high speed in real time.
Real-time Eye AF, Real-time Tracking
When shooting a distant person in motion, the tracking system captures the whole body, and the focus area will seamlessly change between the face and the eyes according to the condition of the subject.
Smart subject-tracking
Once Touch Tracking is set in the menu, select your subject simply by touching the monitor. For either stills or movies, the camera will begin to auto-track the subject.
Accurate eye recognition
Thanks to the large sensor and the latest image-processing engine, you can shoot whatever you encounter in your everyday life, with beautifully crisp and clear images and natural colors, even in low-light settings.
Prioritize your subject's left eye or right eye
A 24.2 megapixel 12 sensor plus enhanced image processing engine The APS-C sensor features copper wiring and enhanced circuit processing that aid in boosting light collection efficiency. In conjunction with the image processing engine, this helps achieve superior image resolution and more natural depiction of textures.

Cleaner images even in dim light Improved noise suppression has led to cleaner image quality, even in dark scenes where high-sensitivity shooting is required. The native ISO sensitivity has increased to a maximum ISO 32000 (with expanded ISO sensitivity at a maximum ISO 102400 for stills). Noise reduction is particularly effective in the frequently used medium-to-high sensitivity range.
Persistent tracking for subjects on the move
Natural-looking images that match what you see Image-processing algorithms inherited from full-frame cameras have led the way to more lifelike color reproduction. Human skin tones look more natural, and reproduction of plant colors has also been improved.
