Field Performance

#### Image Quality

In daylight, RAW files resolve 2 330 lph on an Imatest chart—competitive with 1‑inch compacts. JPEGs show noticeable smoothing past ISO 800.

#### Video Quality

4 K clips record at ~75 Mbps; rolling shutter is present but manageable for slow pans. Autofocus hunts under 300 lux, so manual focus is advised for night vlogs.

#### Battery & Thermals

A single 1200 mAh cell averaged 71 min 4 K capture at 20 °C; no overheating icons appeared.
