Selecting the Sensor Mode

You can change the area of the imaging circle covered by the CMOS sensor to produce the recorded image.
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Sensor Mode].
2 Select the desired option.

Selecting the Main Recording Format

The camera can record primary clips in RAW* or XF-AVC format to a CFexpress card. RAW clips have to be
developed in post-production but give you more control and full-quality files that are best suited for HDR video.
XF-AVC clips deliver high-quality video due to efficient compression.
* Please note that the Cinema RAW Light data recorded by this camera is different from Cinema RAW data recorded by other
Cinema EOS cameras.
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Main Rec Format].
2 Select the desired option.

Selecting the System Frequency

You can change the system frequency also in MEDIA mode if you want to play back clips from a card recorded
with a different system frequency setting.
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [System Frequency].
2 Select the desired option.
• The camera will reset and restart in the selected mode.

Selecting the Resolution and Color Sampling Settings

This setting is only available for XF-AVC clips. For RAW clips, the resolution is set automatically by the sensor
mode used and the color depth is determined by the selected frame rate.
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Resolution/Color Sampling].
2 Select the desired option.
• The resolution and color sampling settings (or color bit depth, for RAW clips) appear at the top right of the
screen.
