Approach
In terms of focusing it works very well, with its full frame sensor makes the performance very good. It has a hybrid phase detection and contrast detection focusing system that includes specialized photosensitive cells within the image sensor, which allows phase detection to be performed by quickly detecting edges and scene lines. If the focus is located at a close point, the contrast detection system is fine-tuned, thus achieving maximum sharpness in the focused area. Its focusing system is fast and very accurate.
Video
We can highlight a fairly wide range of tools with which we will be able to record videos with a good performance autofocus, recording in 4K with up to 30 fps capacity. The 4K resolution is 3840×2160 pixels (UHD 4K), which generates a bit rate of up to 144 Mbps capable of a maximum time per clip of about 30 minutes. On the other hand we have the built-in microphone with several options, such as the possibility to adjust the volume, the ability to detect and optimize the human voice and a noise filter.
