Menu item details

Rec. Media dur HDMI Output:
Sets whether or not to record movies on the memory card of the camera during HDMI output.
[On]: Records movies on the memory card of the camera, and outputs the movies to the HDMI-connected device at the same time. The color depth for the output movie is based on [Record Setting] under [Movie Settings].
[Off(HDMI Only)]: Does not record movies on the memory card of the camera, and outputs movies only to devices connected via HDMI.
Output Resolution:
Sets the resolution of the image that will be output to another device connected via HDMI when [Rec. Media dur HDMI Output] is set to [On] and [RAW Output] is set to [Off]. ([Auto] / [2160p] / [1080p] / [1080i])
4K Output Set.(HDMI Only):
Sets the frame rate and color depth of 4K movie output to another device connected via HDMI when [Rec. Media dur HDMI Output] is set to [Off(HDMI Only)] and [RAW Output] is set to [Off]. ([59.94p 10bit] / [50p 10bit] / [29.97p 10bit] / [25p 10bit] / [23.98p 10bit] / [24.00p 10bit])

Time Code Output:
Sets whether or not to output the time code and user bit to another device connected via HDMI. ([On] / [Off])

Hint

  • With [REC Control] set to [On], (STBY) is displayed when a recording command is ready to be sent to the external recorder/player, and (REC) is displayed when a recording command is being sent to the external recorder/player.
  • Even when playing back a movie with 4 channels on a device connected to the HDMI terminal of the camera, the audio is output with the [4ch Audio Output] setting.
  • When outputting RAW movies to another device connected via HDMI, set [Log Shooting] under [Log Shooting Setting] to a setting other than [Off]. The setting for [Color Gamut] under [Log Shooting Setting] is applied to RAW movies output via HDMI.

Note

  • RAW movies cannot be recorded on the memory card of the camera.
  • During slow-motion/quick-motion shooting, [Rec. Media dur HDMI Output] is locked to [On] and [RAW Output] is locked to [Off]. It is not possible to only output 4K movies to a device connected via HDMI without recording the movies on a memory card. It is also not possible to output RAW movies.
  • When [Rec. Media dur HDMI Output] is set to [Off(HDMI Only)] or the camera outputs RAW movies, [HDMI Info. Display] becomes temporarily set to [Off].
  • When [Rec. Media dur HDMI Output] is set to [Off(HDMI Only)], the counter does not move forward (the actual recording time is not counted) while the movie is being recorded on an external recorder/player.
  • When [Log Shooting] under [Log Shooting Setting] is set to [Off], [RAW Output] is locked to [Off].
  • Regardless of the [Output Resolution] setting, the HDMI output resolution becomes 1080 in the following cases.*
    • When [Log Shooting] under [Log Shooting Setting] is set to other than [Off].
    • When [Picture Profile] is set to PPLUT1-PPLUT4.

    *However, when [Rec. Media dur HDMI Output] is set to [Off(HDMI Only)] or [RAW Output] is set to [On], movies are output in 4K.

  • [REC Control] can be used with external recorders/players that support the [REC Control] function.
  • When [Time Code Output] is set to [Off], you cannot set [REC Control].
  • Even when (REC) is displayed, the external recorder/player may not work properly depending on the settings or status of the recorder/player. Check if the external recorder/player works properly before use.
  • When [Time Code Output] is set to [On], images may not be output properly to the TV or recording device. In this case, set [Time Code Output] to [Off].
  • It is not possible to output audio in 4 channels to other devices connected via HDMI.
  • The gamma is locked to S-Log3 during RAW output. You can reproduce contrast equivalent to that of the normal gamma by setting [Gamma Display Assist] to [On] and [Gamma Disp. Assist Typ.] to [Auto] or [S-Log3→709(800%)].
  • While outputting RAW movies, you cannot use [Active] for [SteadyShot].
