Notably, both cameras support Full HD (1080p) video recording at 60 frames per second, ensuring high-quality video capture with rich detail and smooth motion. Additional video features, such as HDMI output and a 5-axis optical image stabilization system, help enhance the overall video performance, minimizing the effects of camera shake.

In terms of shooting modes, both models offer a variety of options, including Intelligent Auto and Scene Modes that simplify the shooting process for novices. Advanced users can take advantage of the camera's manual controls to adjust settings like ISO, aperture, and shutter speed for more creative freedom.
