Since thisfunction can be used to focus on an area smaller than the Flexible Spot, it is ideal for macro photography and other situations where focus must be precise.
• Additional 1:1 image aspect ratio
  In addition to 3:2 and 16:9 aspect (width: height) ratios, the 1:1 aspect ratio used by Instagram etc. can also be selected. This eliminates the need for cumbersome hand-trimming of images after shooting before they can be posted on social media.
• Proxy recording
  4K movies and lower-resolution proxy moviescan be recorded simultaneously. Proxy movie files are smaller than the corresponding 4K files, and are therefore ideal for quick previewing or pre-editing that can reduce the time required for final 4K editing.
• Photo Capture (image extraction from movies)
  Users can select, extract and save still images of decisive moments from movie footage (frame grabs). High-quality 8-megapixels stills can be extracted from 4K video and 2-megapixels from Full HD video in camera during playback and stored as separate files on the media card.
• Peaking function makes manual focus even easier
  The excellent performance of the advanced BIONZ X image processor has improved the detection accuracy of the peaking function that color-highlights the most sharply focused area during manual focus and direct manual focus shooting. It’s now easier than ever to identify the focus peak areas during the delicate focusing required in macro or portrait shooting. Blue has been added to the peaking colors (red, yellow, white). The expanded range of colors from which an easily-visible peaking color can be selected, depending on the subject and environment, improves the visibility when using the peaking display.
• AF tracking sensitivity adjustment
  When shooting movies, the sensitivity with which autofocus will follow subjects that move outside the focus area can be adjusted. Sensitivity should be set [High] for subjects at varying distances which require repeated refocusing, whereas the [Standard] setting can prevent the focus from jumping to new objects and maintain stable focus on a subject that is briefly obscured by other objects.
• ISO value display while movie shooting
  When shooting movies in ISO Auto mode, the current ISO value can be constantly displayed. If concerned about noise levels in a dark location, for example, the user can monitor the current ISO value.
• Additional initial focus magnification setting
  When shooting movies, it is now possible to set the initial focus magnification. In addition to the current 1x > 4x, a new 4x only setting has been added. Through the setting of frequently-used magnifications, the number of focus magnification operations can be minimized.

  An illustration to indicate position of camera control keys and buttons are added to the custom settings screen. A glance confirms whichbutton or switch one is attempting to assign to. Another improvement in menu usability is that function menu options can be viewed when setting the function menu, improving ease of operation.
• Restricted display of AF area and ISO display limit
  On the AF area setting screen, a new function has been added that displays only focus area types that the user uses frequently. Another new function on the ISO setting screen displays only frequently-used ISO ranges. These allow setting changes to be made efficiently while shooting. These display restrictions apply even when “Switch Focus Area” is assigned to a custom button.
• Improved AWB control
  Auto white balance can now be locked or unlocked at any time with the “AWB Lock function”. This is convenient when one wants to fix auto white balance in an environment with multiple (artificial and natural) light sources. Setting the white balance color temperature has been simplified as well as reducing the steps in setting of custom white balance. With “Priority Set in AWB”, when white balance is set to Auto and incandescent lamps or similar are the light source, the color tone priority can be set to Standard, Ambience, or White. Ambience priority produces a warm tone, while white priority produces accurate white reproduction.
