Open-gate 8.1K was a promised firmware upgrade at launch and appears in the current maker table; no launch availability inferredInternal C4K 4096×2160 at 59.94p uses APS-C or pixel-by-pixel crop and 4:2:0 8-bit LongGOP; full-frame C4K 29.97p supports 4:2:2 10-bit. UHD 3840×2160 at 59.94p supports cropped 4:2:0 10-bit. Maker limits internal 10-bit C4K/4K recording to 30 minutes, while specified 4K 8-bit modes have no fixed time limit subject to power, storage and operating conditions. External 12-bit HDMI RAW up to 5888×3312 at 29.97p requires compatible Atomos or Blackmagic recorder; this is not internal 5.9K recording. V-Log/V-Gamut and maker 14+ stop claim
