So far the Phase Detection Auto Focus works fast and stays focus. Tried Focus test, Left Shot focuses on the Teddy while Right Shot focuses on the background.

No problem in taking photos in well lit or low light conditions. Level of saturation is on point and no signs of details washing out. Shots taken in low light is not grainy.
