Notes about HEIF

HEIF is a format for saving that has a higher compression rate compared to JPEG, allowing for high image quality in a file with a small size. However, depending on the PC and software, you may be unable to display, edit, or print HEIF files.

You will need an environment that supports HEIF to play back HEIF images.

icon_info_s

bullet02HEIF images are saved as files with the ".HIF" extension. Depending on the PC and software, you may be unable to load the files. If this is the case, change the file extension to ".HEIC".

icon_related-info_s

bullet02You can record HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) format HEIF images:

bullet02When recording under the test conditions specified by Panasonic.

Recording conditions may reduce the maximum number of frames recordable.

  1. Recording stops when the maximum number of frames recordable is reached.

For SH pre-burst recording, this includes the number of pictures taken with pre-burst recording.

  1. The burst rate will become lower during recording but pictures can continue to be taken until the card becomes full.

  1. Using a Nextorage SDXC memory card compliant with UHS-II UHS Speed Class 3
