This section describes the settings used when video recording.


bullet02In “4. Image Recording”, the functions described work with both pictures and video.

Please also refer to that section.

– [File Number Reset]


[System Frequency]

icon_mode-photo_grayicon_mode-movie

icon_mode-iaicon_mode-picon_mode-aicon_mode-sicon_mode-micon_mode-creative-motion

This changes the system frequency of videos that are recorded and played back with the camera.

The default setting is for the system frequency to be set to the TV broadcast system for the region where the camera was bought.


button_menu-set character_arrow [icon_setup-menu] character_arrow [icon_setup-others] character_arrow Select [System Frequency]

[59.94Hz (NTSC)]

System frequency for regions using the NTSC broadcasting system

[50.00Hz (PAL)]

System frequency for regions using the PAL broadcasting system

[24.00Hz (CINEMA)]

System frequency for producing cinema film


bullet02After changing the setting, turn the camera off and on.

bullet02If you record using a system frequency that differs from the broadcasting system of your region, it may not be possible for you to properly play back videos on your TV.

We recommend using the setting as it was at the time of purchase if you are unsure about broadcasting systems or if you will not be involved in producing cinema film.

bullet02A video recorded with a system frequency different from the setting of [System Frequency] cannot be played back in the camera.


[Rec. File Format]

icon_mode-photo_grayicon_mode-movie

icon_mode-iaicon_mode-picon_mode-aicon_mode-sicon_mode-micon_mode-creative-motion

Sets the recording file format of videos to be recorded.


button_menu-set character_arrow [icon_movie] character_arrow [icon_video-image-format] character_arrow Select [Rec. File Format]

[MP4]

This file format is suitable for playback on PCs.

[MOV]

This file format is suitable for image editing.


bullet02When [System Frequency] is set to [24.00Hz (CINEMA)], it is fixed to [MOV].


[Rec Quality]

icon_mode-photo_grayicon_mode-movie

icon_mode-iaicon_mode-picon_mode-aicon_mode-sicon_mode-micon_mode-creative-motion

Sets the image quality of videos to be recorded.

The image qualities you can select depend on the [System Frequency] and [Rec. File Format] settings.

[Rec Quality] settings can also be made using [Filtering] (character_reference[Filtering]) to display only items that meet your conditions and [add to list] (character_reference[add to list]) to register recording qualities you use often.


button_menu-set character_arrow [icon_movie] character_arrow [icon_video-image-format] character_arrow Select [Rec Quality]

bullet02To record video with a bit rate of 72 Mbps or more, it requires a card with the corresponding Speed Class. (character_referenceMemory Cards That Can Be Used)

bullet02In this document, videos are indicated as follows according to their resolution:

– 6K-A (4992character_times_regular3744) video, 4K-A (3328character_times_regular2496) video: 6K/4K Anamorphic (4:3) video

– C4K (4096character_times_regular2160) video: C4K video

– 4K (3840character_times_regular2160) video: 4K video

– Full High Definition (1920character_times_regular1080) video: FHD video


bullet02Since the camera employs the VBR recording format, the bit rate is changed automatically depending on the subject to record. As a result, video recording time is shortened when a fast-moving subject is recorded.

bullet02Videos in ALL-Intra and 4:2:2 10-bit formats are intended for editing on a PC used for video production.

bullet02When the following functions are being used, [Image Area of Video] is fixed to [FULL].

– 6K Anamorphic (4:3) video

bullet02When using the following function, you can only select 8-bit FHD video:

– [Miniature Effect] ([Filter Settings])

bullet02You can register a combination of [System Frequency], [Rec. File Format], [Image Area of Video], and [Rec Quality] to My List. (character_reference[add to list])


character_diamond[Filtering]

When the [Rec. File Format] is set to [MOV], you can specify items such as frame rate, resolution, and codec (YUV, Bit value, Image compression), and just display recording quality that meets those conditions.


  1. In the [Rec Quality] setting screen, press [DISP.].

gui_favorite-registration-video1_ntsc_eng

  1. Press character_upcharacter_down to select a setting item and then press button_menu-set or button_joy-stick-push_s.

bullet02Settings: [Frame Rate]/[Resolution]/[Codec]/[Variable Frame Rate]/[Hybrid Log Gamma]

  1. Press character_upcharacter_down to select the filtering conditions and then press button_menu-set or button_joy-stick-push_s.

  1. Press [DISP.] to confirm the setting.

bullet02You are returned to the [Rec Quality] setting screen.


Clearing the filtering conditions

Select [ANY] in Step 3.

bullet02The filtering conditions are also cleared when you do the following:

– Change the [System Frequency]

– Select a recording quality from [Rec Quality (My List)]


bullet02When you change recording quality using a filter, the current filtering conditions are stored.


character_diamond[add to list]

Select a recording quality and register it in My List. The recording quality you register can be set in [Rec Quality (My List)].


  1. In the [Rec Quality] setting screen, press [Q].

bullet02The following settings are also registered at the same time:

– [System Frequency]

– [Rec. File Format]

– [Image Area of Video]


Setting or deleting in My List

  1. Select [Rec Quality (My List)].

bullet02button_menu-set character_arrow [icon_movie] character_arrow [icon_video-image-format] character_arrow [Rec Quality (My List)]

  1. Press character_upcharacter_down to select a setting item and then press button_menu-set or button_joy-stick-push_s.

bullet02You cannot select setting items that have different system frequencies.

bullet02To delete from My List, select the item and press [Q].


Display [Rec Quality (My List)] on the Control Panel

You can display the My List of recording quality from the control panel in [icon_mode-p-motion_table] mode or when it is set to [Video-Priority Display].

  1. Display the setting screen.

bullet02Touch the recording quality item.

bullet02When already registered in My List, the [Rec Quality (My List)] setting screen is displayed.

When not yet registered, the [Rec Quality] setting screen is displayed.

bullet02[Rec Quality (My List)] and [Rec Quality] switch each time you press the [DISP.] button.

– The next time the setting screen is displayed, the screen last used is displayed.

gui_contrl-panel_rec-quality-my-list


bullet02Up to 12 types of recording quality can be registered.


[Image Area of Video]

icon_mode-photo_grayicon_mode-movie

icon_mode-iaicon_mode-picon_mode-aicon_mode-sicon_mode-micon_mode-creative-motion

Set the image area during video recording. The angle of view differs depending on the image area.

Narrowing the image area allows you to achieve a telescopic effect without image deterioration.
