Notes
- There is also a video mode called VFR (Variable Framerate) which allows you to shoot in 1080p from 2 FPS up to 96 FPS, but you lose audio and continuous autofocus.
- There is a mode for taking photos called 4K photo, which has a crop but allows you to take burst and precapture JPEGs in 4:3, 3:2, 1:1 and 16:9, which all roughly have an 8mp resolution and an extra 1.25x crop on top of the 2x sensor size crop.
- This camera has options for the system frequency, as 59.94hz for NTSC, 50.00hz for PAL and 24.00hz for CINEMA, which unlocks true 24p.
- All models sold outside of the EU have the capability to shoot unlimited video, but the EU models are still locked to 29 mins and 59 seconds.
- This camera can output a clean uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 signal from the micro HDMI port, which disables internal recording.
