S&Q on A7iii won't record 4k


Recommended Posts

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.
