Proxy Settings

movie, slow&quick motion

You can simultaneously record a low-bit-rate proxy movie when recording a movie or slow-motion recording/quick-motion recording.

Since proxy movies are small in file size, they are suitable for transferring to smartphones or uploading to websites.

  1. MENU (Shooting) → [Image Quality/Rec][Proxy Settings] → Select an item to set, and then select the desired setting.
