VIDEO
Max videoThe highest video resolution it records internally.4K5.6KBEST
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 120p
Crop at 4K 60pWhether 4K 60p uses the full sensor width. A crop makes your lens act longer, so wide shots get harder.1.5x cropNone, full width
Colour depth10-bit records far more colour detail than 8-bit, so footage holds up when you grade it. Worth it if you edit video.10-bit 4:2:010-bit 4:2:2
Log profileA flat picture profile that keeps highlight and shadow detail for colour grading later.N-LogV-Log
Raw videoRaw keeps the most image data for editing, at much larger file sizes. Some cameras only record it to an external recorder.Internal N-RAWNone
