Notes
- 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.
- Any video mode above 60 FPS on this camera, is in the VFR (Variable Framerate) mode which slows down the video automatically in camera, and doesn't include any audio.
- Unlike most mirrorless cameras which cap the recording at 29 minutes and 59 seconds, all regional versions of this camera can shoot for an unlimited amount of time straight, even the EU version.
- This camera can technically shoot in H265, but specifically only in 4K UHD (3840x2160) in either 24, 25 or 30 FPS, and only in HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) colour profile.
