[Rec Quality]

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] ([Filtering]) to display only items that meet your conditions and [add to list] ([add to list]) to register recording qualities you use often.

The above shows some of the recording qualities available.

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

Continuous Recording Time for Video

The amount of time you can record in one recording depends on the [Rec Quality].

When the recording time in one recording exceeds the following, recording will stop:

During video recording, recording may be stopped to protect the camera if the internal temperature gets too high, even if it has not reached to continuous recording time.

Conditions that cause overheating

– Use in places with high ambient temperatures

– Repeatedly make video recordings

– Leave the camera in the ON state for extended periods and then trying to make video recordings, etc.

Restarting Video Recording After Stopping Due to Temperature Increase in the Camera

If video recording stops due to temperature increase in the camera, the temperature in the camera needs to be lowered before video recording can be started again.

We recommend turning the camera off to lower the temperature in the camera.

The continuous recording time for video after restarting depends on the standby time (the amount of time the camera was off for).

[Filtering]

When [Rec. File Format] is set to [MOV], you can specify items such as frame rate, number of pixels (resolution), and compression format (YUV, bit value, image compression), and just display recording qualities that meet those conditions.

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

2. Press to select a setting item and then press .

Settings: [Frame Rate]/[Resolution]/[Codec]

3. Press to select the filtering conditions and then press .

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

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

Clearing the filtering conditions

Select [ANY] in Step 3.

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

– Change the [Rec. File Format]

– Change the [System Frequency]

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

[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)].

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

The 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)].

2. Press to select a setting item and then press .

You cannot select setting items that have different system frequencies.

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

Setting from the control panel

It is possible to display the My List of recording qualities from the control panel in []/[S&Q] mode or when [Video-Priority Display] is set.

Touch the recording quality item.

When 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.

[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.
