High-efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest video encoding format
established in 2013 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Because this format
uses a high compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.
Depending on your computer's specifications and interface, files may not
play at full resolution due to the high compression rate on some computers.
To view the file in HEVC format, you need a device or program with installed
HEVC codecs.
When recording 4K or UHD video, the angle of view becomes narrower.
(Effective angle of view: approx. 4K 1.68 times, UHD 1.77 times the focal
length)
If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the
camera may record the sound of the image stabilizer working.
When recording a video, the camera may record the sounds of the zoom or
other lens adjustments.
When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded.
If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will be
interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.
You can set the ISO sensitivity up to ISO 6400 when recording a video.
