- N-Log setting: Select On (cannot record to card) to preserve
details in highlights and shadows and avoid over-saturated
colors when recording movies. Choose this option (available
only when 10 bit is selected for Output data depth) when
recording footage that will later be color-corrected. The
footage will be recorded directly to the external device and
cannot be saved to the camera memory card. The ISO
sensitivity settings > Maximum sensitivity and ISO
sensitivity (Mode M) options in the movie shooting menu
can be set respectively to values of from ISO 1600 to 25600
(Z 7) or 51200 (Z 6) and ISO 800 to 25600 (Z 7) or 51200 (Z 6).
- View assist: Choose On for a live preview of video footage
recorded with On (cannot record to card) selected for
N-Log setting. The colors in the preview will differ from those
of the final movie, but this has no effect on the footage
actually recorded.
D HDMI Output
HDMI output is not available while movies are being recorded at movie
frame sizes of 1920 × 1080 120p, 1920 × 1080 100p, or 1920 × 1080
slow-motion or when the camera is connected to a computer running
Camera Control Pro 2.
D 10-Bit Output Data Depth
10 bit can be used only with compatible recorders. Regardless of the
display mode selected, the camera monitor will turn on and the
viewfinder will remain blank. No photos can be taken; during movie
recording, the following additional restrictions apply when 3840 ×
2160 is selected for frame size:
• Movies are not recorded to memory cards inserted in the camera.
• Icons and characters in the monitor will display at low resolution.
• Selecting the DX image area on the Z 7 reduces the angle of view to
about 90%. The angle of view on the Z 6 is always about 90%.
D Zoom
Movies filmed at a frame size of 3840 × 2160 are displayed at a size of
1920 × 1080 when zoomed in.
