Best 4K frame rateThe fastest 4K frame rate. 60p and above lets you slow footage down smoothly, and 120p gives 5× slow motion.4K 60p4K 30p
Crop at 4K 60pWhether 4K 60p uses the full sensor width. A crop makes your lens act longer, so wide shots get harder.—No 4K 60p
Rolling shutterHow fast the sensor reads out, measured in lab tests. Slower readout bends fast-moving subjects and quick pans in video and electronic-shutter photos; under 10 ms is very good.20.3 ms · 4K full width, CineD10 ms · 4K full width, DPReview
