We are going to "Reset" the camera to defaults

Then Select "Other Functions"
Choose "Initial Set"
Choose "All"

The camera will reboot and set all the menus back to default so any

recorder you have attached to the HDMI or SDI ports.


Internal recording -

Every recording mode the camera offers uses 8-bit 4:2:0.
