Quick Guide for 4K Photo
Catching the moment you really want ([4K Burst] / [4K Burst(S/S)] / [4K Pre-Burst])
You can select the desired moment from a burst of 4K photos taken at 30 frames/second and save that moment as a picture of approx. 8 million pixels.
1Press [ ] button [ ] button Shutter button
2Press to select the recording method and press [MENU/SET]
[4K Burst]
For capturing the best shot of a fast-moving subject (e.g., sports, aeroplanes, trains)
Burst recording is performed while the shutter button is pressed and held. The shutter sound
will be heard repeatedly.
1Press the shutter button halfway
2Press and hold the shutter button fully for as long as you want to
perform recording
●Recording will start approximately 0.5 seconds after you press the shutter button fully. Therefore, press
the button fully as soon as possible.
●If you are using Auto Focus, continuous AF will work while recording. Focus will be adjusted
continuously.
Press and hold

[4K Burst(S/S)]
For capturing unpredictable photo opportunities (e.g., plants, animals, children)
Burst recording starts when the shutter button is pressed and stops when pressed again.
Start and stop tones will be heard.
1Press the shutter button fully
2Press the shutter button fully again
●If you are using Auto Focus, continuous AF will work while recording. Focus will be adjusted
continuously.
When you press the [Fn1] button while recording, you can add a marker.
(Up to 40 markers for each recording.) When selecting and saving pictures from a 4K
burst file, you can skip to the positions where you added markers.
Start (First)
Stop (Second)
Recording is performed
[4K Pre-Burst]
For recording as needed whenever a photo opportunity arises (e.g., the moment when a
ball is thrown)
Burst recording is performed for approximately 1 second before and after the moment that the
shutter button is pressed. The shutter sound will be heard only once.
1Press the shutter button fully
●In situations where you want to lock focus and exposure, such as when the subject is not at the
centre, use [AF/AE LOCK].
●Recording length: Approximately 2 seconds
Approximately 1 second
Recording is performed
■To cancel the 4K Photo functions: In step 2, select [ ].
●When you perform 4K burst photo recording, a 4K burst file will be saved in the MP4 format.
●Use a UHS Speed Class 3 card.
●Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 15 minutes. When you are using an SDHC memory card, you can continue recording without interruption even if the
file exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be recorded and played back in separate files. If using an SDXC Memory Card, you can record a motion picture in a single file even
if the size is greater than 4 GB.
●When recording, the angle of view becomes narrower.
●If the surrounding temperature is high or 4K photos are recorded continuously, [ ] may be displayed and recording may be stopped halfway through. Wait until the camera cools
down.
●When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is set, the battery drains faster and the camera temperature rises. (to protect itself, the camera may switch to [ ] ([4K Burst]))
Select [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.
