Sets the image quality of videos to be recorded.

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

The [Image Area of Video] setting items you can select depend on the [Rec Quality] 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.

To record video with a bit rate of 72 Mbps or more, you require an SD card with the corresponding Speed Class.

Video with a bit rate of 800 Mbps or more cannot be recorded to an SD card. You will need a commercially available external SSD for recording. ( character_reference Using an External SSD (Commercially Available))

[Apple ProRes] video with a resolution other than FHD cannot be recorded to an SD card. You will need a commercially available external SSD for recording. ( character_reference Using an External SSD (Commercially Available))
