Help with File Format, bit rate etc. in a6400

Hi everybody :) Newbie Alpha user here... I recently got my a6400 and loving it.

I'm planning to use it for some (music) videos soon, and I was hoping that I could get a few things bit more clarified by someone more experienced.

As I understood, to get more cinematic-like effect I should stick to 24p(in NTSC mode), so my options are:

  • When File Format is set to [XAVC S 4K] -> 24p 100M or 24p 60M
  • When File Format is set to [XAVC S HD] -> 24p 50M

...

So, is 100M gonna get more data than 60M which is gonna enable to create a slow motion footage in 4K..?

Or I should - If I wish to create a slow motion footage - select one of these (while in [XAVC S HD]):

  • 120p 100M/100p 100M
  • 120p 60M/100p 60M

Then slow it down in Premiere, and convert it to 24p..?

...

I got a bit confused with all these options, apologies if I'm asking anything too obvious :D


Thanks a lot for all the help!
