j When the memory card is inserted/ejected
j When formatted the memory card
j When the <SLOT SEL> button has been pressed to switch the card slot to be recorded to
j When switched to [CARD READER MODE] or [SERVICE MODE]
j When the [RECORDING] menu → [2 SLOTS FUNC.] → [SIMUL REC]/[BACKGR REC] is set
j When the [RECORDING] menu → [REC FUNCTION] → [REC MODE] → [INTERVAL] is set
j When either of the following settings are changed

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 → [FREQUENCY]: System frequency
≥ [SYSTEM] menu → [FILE FORMAT]: File format for recording
≥ [SYSTEM] menu → [REC FORMAT]: Sets the signal format and codec mode for recording.
≥ [SYSTEM] menu → [SUPER SLOW]: Super slow recording settings
∫ 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:
j 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. For details, refer to "Speed Class during shooting" on page 39.
