Internal ProRes RAW HQ/RAW and ProRes 422 options have format/media restrictions. High-resolution/ProRes/HFR modes retain temperature limits; maker's unlimited-recording claim is C4K/60p or lower and remains battery/media dependent. HDMI 8K is still-image playback only, not recorded video. ARRI LogC3 requires separately purchased DMW-SFU3A activationFull-sensor 3:2 5952×3968 6K at 24.00p/23.98p, 4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP 200 Mbps; 16:9 5888×3312 5.9K up to 29.97p. Full-frame C4K/4K30 offers 4:2:2 10-bit up to 400 Mbps ALL-Intra; C4K/4K60 uses Super 35 or pixel-by-pixel crop and 4:2:0 10-bit. Built-in fan, V-Log/V-Gamut and maker 14+ stop claim. No fixed recording limit within supported operating/power/storage conditions. Digital Camera World's suggestion that 6K requires Super 35 crop conflicts with the maker's full-sensor table and is not adopted
AudioStereo microphone; MOV LPCM up to 96 kHz/24-bit, built-in microphone limited to 48 kHz; optional DMW-XLR2 enables 32-bit float, with channel/sample-rate restrictions.
