Select still or video mode via the mode dial and adjust exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) or use auto/exposure presets. For professional video, choose the desired recording format in the menu (4K 60p/50p 10-bit or 4:2:2 10-bit) and enable V-Log if wide dynamic range capture is required. To output RAW video, connect an ATOMOS or compatible recorder via HDMI and select RAW output in the menu. Use the autofocus settings to enable human or animal recognition and adjust AF area and tracking parameters as needed.

Usage recommendations

For stabilized handheld shooting, enable Dual I.S. 2 and use lenses with O.I.S. When recording high-bitrate 10-bit 4:2:2 or RAW over HDMI, verify compatibility and recording limits of external monitors/recorders; note that SD card recording is not available during C4K/4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output. Apply sealing precautions in dusty or wet environments and check lens and body mounts for proper sealing.
