| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| MOV/H.265(HEVC) LPCM | A high-compression format that offers very high picture quality and high sound quality. Files are recorded to the memory card in 10-bit 4:2:0 and output to HDMI in 10-bit 4:2:2. |
| MOV/H.264 LPCM | High picture and sound quality. bHLG YHLG cannot be selected for F-Log/HLG/RAW RECORDING. |
| MP4/H.264 AAC |
A format suitable for movies that will be uploaded to the web. The following options are not available:
