Caveats
- 4K only at 30p/25p (~102 Mbps H.264); no 4K60, no 10-bit, no Log/HLGSource
- Movie IS (M-IS) is digital and crops the frame; forced off in high-speed modesSource
- Clip limit 29 min and 4 GB per fileSource
- High-speed movies limited to 20 s, no audio, AF/AE lockedSource
- Art Filters not available in 4K and high-speed movieSource
- USB-C charges the battery but can't power the camera during useSource
- Spec summary lists 'C4K' but movie spec only lists 3840x2160 (UHD) — treat C4K as an OM page errorSource
