Video Recording Settings

This section describes the settings used when video recording.

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

Please also refer to that section.

[System Frequency]

icon_mode-photo_gray icon_mode-movie

icon_mode-ia icon_mode-p icon_mode-a icon_mode-s icon_mode-m icon_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 [] [ icon_setup-others ] 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

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

If 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.

A 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_gray icon_mode-movie

icon_mode-ia icon_mode-p icon_mode-a icon_mode-s icon_mode-m icon_mode-creative-motion

Sets the recording file format of videos to be recorded.

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

[MP4]	This file format is suitable for playback on PCs.
[MOV]	This file format is suitable for image editing.

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

[Rec Quality]

icon_mode-photo_gray icon_mode-movie

icon_mode-ia icon_mode-p icon_mode-a icon_mode-s icon_mode-m icon_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] ([add to list]) to register recording qualities you use often.

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

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

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

– 6K-A (4992 character_times_regular 3744) video, 4K-A (33282496) video: 6K/4K Anamorphic (4:3) video

– C4K (4096 character_times_regular 2160) video: C4K video

– 4K (3840 character_times_regular 2160) video: 4K video

– Full High Definition (1920 character_times_regular 1080) video: FHD video

Since 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.

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

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

– 6K Anamorphic (4:3) video

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

– [Miniature Effect] ([Filter Settings])

You 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.

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