All 121 phase-detection points are cross-type, enhancing precision in challenging lighting and providing superior subject tracking. Specialized modes like Group Target 25-point AF for birds and wildlife, along with Face/Eye detection and Starry Sky AF, cater to diverse photographic needs.

Experience unparalleled stability with the 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization, minimizing camera shake by up to 6.5 stops with any lens. When paired with select optically stabilized lenses, achieve an incredible 7.5 stops of compensation, enabling sharp images with incredible detail even in low light, and benefiting High-Res Shot and Hand Held Assist modes.
