Choose Image Area - Nikon Z 6II Reference Manual

Choose Image Area

Choose the size of the area on the image sensor used to record
movies (the "movie crop"). The options are [FX] and [DX]. Select
[FX] to shoot movies in what is referred to as "FX-based movie
format", [DX] to shoot in "DX-based movie format". The
differences between the two formats are shown in the
illustration.

When 3840 × 2160; 60p or 3840 × 2160; 50p is selected for
frame size/frame rate, image area for the Z 7II is fixed at [FX].
The actual crop, however, is approximately equivalent to 93%
of that when [FX] is selected at frame sizes/rates of 3840 ×
2160; 30p, 3840 × 2160; 25p, and 3840 × 2160; 24p. In the case
of the Z 6II, image area is fixed at [DX]. The actual crop is
equivalent to that when [DX] is selected at frame sizes/rates of
3840 × 2160; 30p, 3840 × 2160; 25p, and 3840 × 2160; 24p.
