FX-30 - No 4K HS (h265) 30fps or 25fps option

LGstudio — Wed, 22 May 2024 13:13:11 GMT

Dear sony.
Why is there no 30fps (NTSC) or 25fps (PAL) recording option in h265 codec.
I shoot long interviews and podcasts, so I do not need 60/50 fps but I do need high compression and as small as possible file sizes in 10bit.
Why is not an option? Not only on the FX-30, but the a6700, and all other alpha cameras that finally have the h265 codec option.

Hey @LGstudio

I believe that you can lower the frame rates to 24p when using proxy file format XAVC HS HD on H.265

Yes, I know there is 24fps, but no 25 (PAL) or 30 (NTSC). Why?

Hi @LG-studio

Can you confirm what is the format and the settings that you're using?

SONY FX30:
File Format -> XAVC HS 4K
the only available Frame Rates are : 59.94, 23.98 and 119.88.
There is no 29.97fps, only in in XAVC HS-I 4K .. but that is 300M 422 10bit only.
I would need a more compressed, 50M to 100M 422 (or 420) 10 bit.

Hey @LG-studio

Unfortunately, these frame rates are only available in XAVC-S 4K format
