| [H.264 LongGOP 420 MOV] | A highly-portable compressed format. Footage is recorded at a depth of 8 bits using Long GOP interframe compression and 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling. |
| [H.264 LongGOP 420 MP4] | A format suitable for movies that will be uploaded to the web. |
| [H.265 ALL-I 420 MOV] | A format with a higher compression ratio than H.264. Footage is recorded at a depth of 10 bits using All-I interframe compression and 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling. |
| [H.265 LongGOP 420 MOV] | A format with a higher compression ratio than H.264. Footage is recorded at a depth of 10 bits using Long GOP interframe compression and 4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling. |
| [H.265 ALL-I 422 MOV] | A format with a higher compression ratio than H.264. Footage is recorded at a depth of 10 bits using All-I interframe compression and 4:2:2 chroma sub-sampling. |

4:2:2 chroma sub-sampling is used for footage output to external devices connected via HDMI; H.264 footage is output at a bit depth of 8 bits and footage in other formats at a depth of 10 bits.
[All-I] compresses each frame separately. Files are larger, but the fact that the data for each frame are saved separately makes this a good choice for footage that will be further processed.
[Long GOP] balances good image quality with high compression. Files are smaller, making it a good choice for longer movies.
The options available for file type and compression vary with the options selected for [MOVIE MODE] and [F-Log/HLG RECORDING].
Bit Rate
Choose the movie bit rate.
| Options | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

The options available for bit rate vary with the settings chosen for compression. The actual bit rate may be slower than the selected value depending on the subject.
The bit rate for ProRes movies is set automatically according to the format chosen and the frame size and rate. For more information, visit the Apple website.
