Images Output via HDMI

The images output via HDMI during recording differ depending on the recording mode.

character_diamond [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ] Mode

Aspect ratio, resolution, and frame rate output is according to the [Rec Quality] settings in the [Video] ([Image Format]) menu. Resolution and frame rate can be down-converted for output according to the application.

The YUV and bit value are output with YUV changed to 4:2:2 as shown below.

If the connected device is not compatible with the output system, output changes to match the connected device.

Recording to card	HDMI output
4:2:2 10 bit	4:2:2 10 bit
4:2:0 10 bit	4:2:2 10 bit
4:2:0 8 bit	4:2:2 8 bit

Resolution, frame rate

Resolution and frame rate output is according to the following menu combinations:

– [Rec Quality] in the [Video] ([Image Format]) menu.

– [Down Convert] in [HDMI Rec Output] in the [Custom] ([IN/OUT]) menu.

Video with a resolution exceeding 4K is output as C4K/4K resolution.

When set to a [Rec Quality] for high frame rate video, the resolution and frame rate may be down-converted for output.

icon_info_s

When set to a [Rec Quality] other than 16:9 or 17:9, bands are added to the images and they are output with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

character_diamond [iA]/[P]/[A]/[S]/[M] Mode

Output is the same as [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ] mode during video recording.

Output is with a 16:9 aspect ratio during recording standby. Resolution, frame rate, YUV, and bit value output matches the connected device.

icon_info_s

When set to any [Aspect Ratio] other than 16:9, bands are added to the images and they are output with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

character_diamond Notice Regarding HDMI Output

It may take some time for the output method to change.

When you use the HDMI output during recording, the image may be displayed with a time lag.

Beep sounds, AF beep, and electronic shutter sounds are muted during HDMI output.

When you check the image and audio from the TV connected to the camera, the microphone of the camera may pick up the sound from the speakers of the TV, producing an abnormal sound (audio feedback).

If this occurs, move the camera away from the TV or lower the volume on the TV.

Certain setting screens are not output via HDMI.

Settings for Down-Converting

Make settings for the down-conversion of resolution for HDMI output in the [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ] mode.

button_menu-set [] [ icon_setup-inout ] [HDMI Rec Output] Select [Down Convert]

[AUTO]

Outputs by down-converting to match the connected device.

[C4K/4K]

Outputs by down-converting resolution to C4K/4K.

[1080p]

Down-converts resolution to FHD (1080), and outputs as progressive.

[1080i]

Down-converts resolution to FHD (1080), and outputs as interlaced.

[OFF]

Outputs at the resolution and recording frame rate of the [Rec Quality].

icon_info_s

The items you can select depend on the [System Frequency] setting.

When set to a [Rec Quality] that is for high frame rate video with a resolution of 4K or more, the resolution and frame rate may be down-converted for output.

If down-converting, AF may take longer than usual for focusing, and the performance of continuous focus tracking may deteriorate.

character_diamond Image Quality When Outputting via HDMI

Output is with the resolution and frame rate according to the combinations of the [Rec Quality] and [Down Convert] settings.

When [Down Convert] is set to [AUTO], the output matches the connected device.

The maximum resolution and frame rate output when [AUTO] is set are the same as when [OFF] is selected.

There is no HDMI output when setting combinations result in a [—] in the below tables.
