Technical Guide (RAW Video Recording Edition)

Editing the RAW video file

Important notes on

RAW output options

• Upon receiving RAW video output functionality, camera firmware will also be

updated to the latest available version.

• After the RAW video output is activated, other camera features will continue to

function normally.

• Some RAW video output specifications are subject to change with future firmware

updates.

•

ISO sensitivity can be set up to ISO 25600 with the Z 7 and ISO 51200 with the Z 6.

• The following compensations are not applied to the RAW video file: Electronic

VR, Picture Control, Active D-Lighting, high ISO NR, vignette control, diffraction

compensation, auto distortion control and lateral chromatic aberration

compensation.

• The image is displayed on the camera monitor during recording, regardless of the

monitor mode setting. No viewfinder image is available.

• Standard Picture Control is applied to the image displayed on the camera monitor.

This does not affect the video being output to the Ninja V.

• The image displayed on the Ninja V monitor also has in-device color correction

applied, and does not match the look of the final image after color grading. Please

refer to the Ninja V User Manual for details.

• The “zoom in” function on the camera monitor is not available during RAW video

recording. It is possible to zoom in using the Ninja V monitor.

• During RAW video recording, the image areas (angle of view) displayed on the

camera and the Ninja V monitor differ. The image area displayed on the Ninja V

monitor is equivalent to the recorded video.

• Available frame sizes, frame rates and image areas differ between the Z 7 and the

Z 6.

• Still images cannot be taken by pressing the shutter-release button during RAW

video recording.

• RAW videos can only be recorded to the Ninja V. They cannot be recorded to the

in-camera memory card.

• If you experience any problems with other companies’ products such as the Ninja V,

please contact the manufacturer.

For post-production, optional third-party software is required.

Compatible software: Final Cut Pro X, EDIUS Pro 9, Premiere Pro (As of October 2020)
