Choosing the Recording Format
Blackmagic cameras record to several different formats, depending on which model you are using.
You may decide to experiment to see which format best suits your workflow.
You can choose from 4 different Apple ProRes formats. This lets you fit more video on your SSD or SD
card. ProRes 422 (HQ) provides the highest quality video with the lowest compression. Alternatively,
ProRes 422 Proxy gives you far more recording time with greater compression.
To select your desired video format:
Step 1. Press the MENU button.
Step 2. Select the RECORDING menu and use the selection arrows to set the desired recording format.
Step 3. Press the MENU button to exit.
Your camera is now ready to record in the video format you have selected. The current recording format
is shown on the left of the status strip on the LCD.
