Record Duration
The table in this section show approximate record duration in minutes based on format, project
frame rate and flash disk size.
The maximum recording time for a flash disk can vary depending on the data capacity of your
USB-C flash disk and the frame rate you choose. It should also be noted that the recording
duration for a flash disk can vary slightly between different manufacturers and whether the
storage media is formatted as exFAT or Mac OS Extended.
Simple scenes containing less detail tend to require less data than more dense compositions.
The values in these tables assume shots with a high complexity, which means you may get
slightly longer record times depending on the nature of your shoot.

Constant quality settings for Q0 and Q5 will display varying record time remaining durations.
The estimated duration for Q0 is similar to constant bitrate 3:1, and Q5 will display a similar
duration to 12:1, however, as the estimated duration updates every 10 seconds while recording,
the best way to gauge how much recording time you have is to record for 20 seconds and
monitor the duration in the media area of the HUD display.
