Setting the Movie Recording Quality

Movie recording method/Compression rate

J

MJPG

Selectable when the movie recording format is [

MOV

]. Motion

JPEG is used to compress the movie for recording. Without any
compression between frames, each frame is compressed at a
time and recorded. The compression rate is therefore low. Also,
since the image size is large with 4K quality, the file size will be
large.

W

ALL-I

(For editing/I-only)

Selectable when the movie recording format is [

MOV

].

Compresses each frame at a time for recording. Although the file
size is larger than with IPB (Standard), the movie is better suited
in editing.

X

IPB

(Standard)

Compresses multiple frames at a time efficiently for recording.
Since the file size is smaller than with ALL-I (For editing), movie
shooting time will be longer (with a card of the same capacity).

IPB

(Light)

Selectable when the movie recording format is [

MP4

]. Since the

movie is recorded at a bit rate lower than with IPB (Standard), the
file size will be smaller than with IPB (Standard) and the playback
compatibility will be higher. Of the four movie-recording methods,
this one provides the longest possible shooting time (with a card
of the same capacity).
