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
• 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.
• 4K motion picture settings are not available for [Miniature Effect] in [Filter Settings].
• 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 Auto Focus
speeds. It may be difficult to focus on the subject with Auto Focus, but this is not a
malfunction.
• Refer to
