∫ About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures
Motion pictures in AVCHD and MP4 formats may not be played back even on devices that
support these formats. In other cases, the motion pictures may be played back with poor
image or sound quality or their recording information may not be displayed correctly. In
these cases, play them back on the camera.
• To play back or import motion pictures in AVCHD format using another device, use a Blu-ray
disc recorder that supports the format or a PC installed with the software “PHOTOfunSTUDIO”.
• For details about 4K motion pictures recorded with the camera, refer to “Watching/Saving 4K
Motion Pictures on an External Device” on P300.
Applicable modes:
You can select how to set the focus in AF when recording motion pictures.
• The higher the Bit rate value is, the higher the picture quality becomes. Since the camera
employs the VBR recording method, the bit rate is changed automatically depending on the
subject to record. As a result, the recording time is shortened when a fast-moving subject is
recorded.
• When [Miniature Effect] is selected for Creative Control Mode, you cannot select the items
used for 4K motion pictures.
• When recording motion pictures in 4K, use a card rated as UHS Speed Class 3.
• When you record 4K motion pictures, the angle of view will be narrower than motion pictures
of other sizes.
• To ensure highly accurate focus, 4K motion pictures are recorded at reduced AF speeds.
It may be difficult to focus on the subject with AF, but this is not a malfunction.
• Refer to P34 for information about continuous recordable times.
