6K/4K Photo Recording
With 6K Photo, you can take high-speed burst pictures at 30 frames/second and save the desired pictures, each made up of approx. 18 million pixels, extracted from their burst file.
With 4K photo, you can take high-speed burst pictures at 60 frames/second and save the desired pictures, each made up of approx. 8 million pixels.
