Shooting – Selecting the resolution, codec, and frame rate for recording video

Selecting the resolution, codec, and frame rate for recording video

The resolution, codec, and frame rate of the recording video can be selected.

[SYSTEM] menu
[REC FORMAT]: Sets the signal format and codec mode for recording.

[VFR]: Variable frame rate recording function (variable frame rate range)
How to read a [REC FORMAT] setting
The item names for recording formats indicate the resolution, the frame rate, the codec mode, and the bit rate.
(However, bit rate is not included with some file formats.)
For example: When the recording format for file format [MOV] is [2160-59.94p/HEVC LongGOP 200M]
2160 - 59.94p / HEVC LongGOP 200M

The resolutions that can be set with this unit are as follows:
– 2160: UHD (3840×2610), 1080: FHD (1920×1080), 720: HD (1280×720)
Smoother motion picture can be recorded with the higher value for the frame rate. [i] and [p] of the frame rate means interlace
and progressive respectively.
Interlace (interlacing scanning):
Video signal that divides the effective scanning lines to half and send them alternatively
Progressive (progressive scanning):
High density video signal sending the effective scanning lines simultaneously (It will be higher quality image than the
interlace.)
The image quality gets higher the larger the bit rate number. However, this is not the case when the codec mode is [ALL-I].
(This is because the compression method is different.)
When the codec mode is [ALL-I], recording is with ALL-Intra.
In this method, compression is performed at the individual frame level, so the file size increases, but it is possible to reduce
the degradation of image quality during the editing process.
Depending on the file format settings and bit rate of the recording format, the required Speed Class for the memory cards will
differ. Use the compatible memory cards. (
