Caveats

Photo resolution conflict: product page claims 48MP photos, but the 'anba' revision user manual lists only 20MP/12MP photo options.Source
Product page claims 48MP; maker spec/manual give no native sensor pixel count, so the 48MP claim is unverified.Source
Runtime conflict: product page says 140 min in 4K, manual says 90 min in 4K (150 min 1080p in both).Source
Normal in-camera EIS only works at 4K30 16:9, 2.7K30, 1440P30/60 and 1080P30/60; all other modes need app-side SuperSmooth.Source

Thermals

Built-in thermistor; a red 'Temperature' warning appears and camera must cool down when too hot. Rated operating temp -5 to 45°C.Source
