• The frame rate for photos is increased from 9 fps in extended high-speed continuous to 10 fps with a larger buffer as well (increased from 23 12-bit lossless RAW files to 77).
• The electronic viewfinder refresh rate and blackout time is improved from the original Z7.
• The autofocus system has improved with a new Wide-Area AF option with eye autofocus for both people and animals.
