Quick Guide for 4K Photo
Catching the moment you really want ([4K Burst] / [4K Burst(S/S)] / [4K Pre-Burst])
You can take burst pictures of approximately 8 million pixels with a burst rate of 30 fps. You can select and save a frame from the burst file.

[4K Burst]
Burst recording is performed while the shutter button is pressed and held. The shutter sound
will be heard repeatedly.
1
Press the shutter button halfway
2
Press and hold the shutter button fully for as long as you want to
perform recording
●
Recording will start approximately 0.5 seconds after you press the shutter button fully. Therefore, press
the button fully slightly in advance.
For capturing unpredictable photo opportunities (e.g., plants, animals, children)
[4K Burst(S/S)]
Burst recording starts when the shutter button is pressed and stops when pressed again.
Start and stop tones will be heard. "S/S" is an abbreviation of "Start/Stop".

markers.
For recording as needed whenever a photo opportunity arises (e.g., the moment when a
ball is thrown)
[4K Pre-Burst]
Burst recording is performed for approximately 1 second before and after the moment that the
shutter button is pressed. The shutter sound will be heard only once.
1 Press the shutter button fully
●
In situations where you want to lock focus and exposure, such as when the subject is not at the
center, use [AF/AE Lock].
Setting Pre-Burst Recording ([4K Burst]/[4K Burst(S/S)])
→ [Rec] → [4K PHOTO] → [Pre-Burst Recording] → [ON]
The camera starts recording approximately 1 second before the shutter button is pressed fully, so you will not miss a photo opportunity.
Setting Loop Recording ([4K Burst(S/S)])
→ [Rec] → [4K PHOTO] → [Loop Recording(4K PHOTO)] → [ON]
You can perform recording while deleting the oldest recorded data, allowing you to keep on recording while waiting for a photo opportunity without replacing the card.
●
Once you start recording, the 4K burst file will be recorded and divided approximately every 2 minutes. Approximately the last 10 minutes (up to approximately 12 minutes)
will be saved. The preceding part will be deleted.
