D2. Full Frame Scan Modes, FF 6K and FF 2K
FF 6K Scan: Optimised for image quality.
FF 6K Scan is the highest quality scan mode available in
the FX9. The sensor operates in the Full Frame format and
a full 6K scan is used, reading 19 million pixels from the
sensor. The 6K image is then down-sampled to UHD for
recording.
By starting at 6K, and down-sampling the quality of the
UHD, recordings will be higher than possible from a 4K
scan. Noise in the image is reduced and the resolution
and colour sampling is maximised. However, reading 19
million pixels from the sensor takes some time and as a
result there are some frame rate limitations in FF 6K scan.
The highest frame rate that can be selected when using FF
6K scan is 30 frames per second. You can record both UHD
and HD at up to 30 frames per second
*
from FF 6K.
* Future update will enable FF 4K 60p/50p recording with oversampling
(image sensor scan size is around 5K).
