Show Remaining Videotime
Displays a position-able OSD element to show the video bit-rate, and the remaining video
recording-time, on the SD card,...
• Don't - No display of remaining recording time and/or video data-rate.
• hh:mm:ss - Display a clock of remaining video-recording time left.
• KB/s - Display video recording bandwidth (data-rate) in Kilobytes per Second.
• Both - Display remaining video-recording time in both hours /mins/secs, and video
• Refresh Rate (~sec)
Due to the nature of video's variable bit-rate and compression methods, subject dependent,
the "Show Remaining Videotime" has to be updated regularly by re-polling the card-space
and the bit-rate to calculate a fairly accurate time-remaining estimate. Choose, in seconds,
how often that you want this Video-Recording time-remaining to be updated. Shorter periods
of time are less accurate from each on-screen update to the next.
RAW Parameters
Save Raw
Enables the saving of RAW files. Enabling RAW does not
disable JPEG, both are saved. Also required for saving DNG.
(See Page 5 for RAW toggle
Note: By not allowing a camera to auto-focus, ie: pressing the
shutter all the way too fast, the camera might not save a
RAW image.
Exceptions
• Disable @ Video Record?
Some cameras, the S-Series in particular, have a dedicated "Video Record" button where you
can engage that and also shoot individual still-frames during video recording. It was found
that RAW file-saving can interfere in this process. Turning this option on will ensure that you
don't miss a shot or video.
• Disable RAW @ Sports
Disable RAW saving when the Mode-Dial is turned to Sports Mode. This ensures that fast
action sequences won't be missed due to RAW file-saving time, when forgetting to disengage
the RAW feature.
• Disable RAW @ Burst
Disable RAW file-saving when using burst mode. Again, a handy override for when RAW is
not needed during fast burst-sequence shots (RAW enabled would certainly increase time
between shots)
• Disable RAW @ Timer
Disable RAW file-saving when using the camera's Custom Timer mode (similar to the safety
feature for the burst mode).
