Hi guys,
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I turned all my video quality to 4k but everytime I shoot in S&Q, my video quality drops down to 1920x1080.  I can't seem to figure out what's doing this?

SQ Settings:
Record Setting : 24p
Frame Rate: 120: FPS
File Format XAVC S 4k
Record Setting: 24p 100m.  

That's what I have now, but it keeps going down to 1080....  Any clues?

Hi there VTC,  you're right.  No 4k Slow motion. And S&Q has lower dynamic range. I think its somewhere around 8mb or something, cant remember, vs 100mb at 1080p if you were to adjust the settings manually.  I wonder why SQ has lower quality than setting it manually.  Anyone know?

I may be crazy but trying to use the S&Q mode on the Sony A7rIV I have the same issue; not able to record on 4K. I am using this setting to record in camera time lapse with 4-6 FPS. I can only record on HD.

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
