12.3 Sensor Mode & Recording Resolution

The sensor mode determines the size of the area on the sensor that is read out. This affects the

maximum possible frame rate, the maximum data rate, and which lenses can be used. The sensor

mode naming is composed of the number of horizontal photo sites in “K” (a thousand) and the aspect

ratio used on the sensor.
The recording resolution is the resolution of the file that is being recorded in camera. Most of the time

the number of photo sites read from the sensor and the number of pixels recorded are identical, in

some other cases, as for instance in 4K 16:9 - 2K, the number of photo sites read out from the sensor is

larger than the number of pixels recorded into the file.

► Select

Info:

Changing between Sensor Modes may require a camera reboot.

Info:

The Recording Resolution is set automatically if a Sensor Mode offers only one associated

Recording Resolution.
