XAVC S-I HD* 445Mbps
  • SDXC V90 or higher

*Shooting at a recording frame rate of [120p]/[100p] is not available with [XAVC S-I 4K] or [XAVC S-I HD].


For S&Q Motion shooting (When [Proxy Recording] is set to [On])

  • Proxy recording is not possible when the recording frame rate is [120p]/[100p]. Also, proxy recording is not possible when the frame rate is set to [120fps]/[100fps] or higher. Depending on the setting for [File Format], the maximum recording bit rate may be lower than when [Proxy Recording] is set to [Off]. Supported memory cards for [File Format] are as follows.
  • This camera cannot perform proxy recording when shooting in the XAVC S-I format.
File Format Maximum recordable bit rate when recording Supported memory card
XAVC HS 4K 250Mbps + 16Mbps*
  • SDXC card (V60 or higher)
XAVC S 4K 280Mbps + 16Mbps*
  • SDXC card (V60 or higher)

  • Supported memory cards for [File Format] are as follows.
  • This camera cannot perform proxy recording when shooting in the XAVC S-I format.
File Format Supported memory card
XAVC HS 4K
  • SDXC card (V60 or higher)
XAVC S 4K
XAVC S HD
  • SDHC/SDXC card (U3 or higher)

Note

  • In slow-motion recording, the recording bit rate is higher than usual. You may need a memory card that can be written at a higher speed.
  • When an SDHC memory card is used to record an XAVC S movie over extended periods of time, the recorded movies will be divided into files 4 GB in size. When shooting a time-lapse, recording stops automatically right before the file is divided.
  • Charge the battery pack sufficiently before attempting to recover the database files on the memory card.
  • Time-lapse shooting does not support the recording frame rate of [120p]/[100p].
