Camera must be set to YPbPr XAVC
or RAW to record S&Q. S&Q will not
work if the camera is set to RGB,
MPEG or SStP (System – Rec
Format – Format – XAVC). (System
– Base Setting – Main Operation –
YPbPr OR RAW).
For Raw only set (Recording – Rec
Control – Setting) to AXS.
You must turn on HFR (Camera –
S&Q Motion –High Frame Rate –
Full Scan or Center Scan). Only
choose Full Frame if you have the
optional 2K Optical Low Pass filter
installed, otherwise use Center Scan
to avoid excessive aliasing. HFR
above 60fps is limited to 2K/HD.
See note above. Use Center Scan
mode to avoid aliasing and moiré
without the optional 2K Low Pass
Filter.
You can only go above 150fps if the
camera is set to a NTSC area
frequency, so 23.98, 24, 29.29 or
59.94fps must to be used for higher
frame rates. (System – System
Setting – Frequency)
Internal recordings on the SxS cards
are limited to 180fps. To go up to
240fps you must use the optional R5
raw recorder and be in the Cine EI
mode (System- Base Setting –
Shooting Mode – Cine EI PLUS
Main Operation – RAW). In addition
you may need to disable SXS
recording to get above 180fps.
(Recording – Rec Control – Setting
- AXS) use AXS only for 240fps on
the R5.
