(approx.), extracted from their burst fi le. With 4K Photo, you can take a high-speed burst of pictures at 60 frames/second and save the desired pictures,
each made up of 8 million pixels (approx.).

When [6K/4K Pre-Burst] or [Pre-Burst Recording] is set, the battery drains faster and the camera temperature rises. Use these functions only when recording with
them.
"6K PHOTO" is a high-speed burst recording function which allows you to save
pictures extracted from images recorded with an aspect ratio for still pictures,
4:3 or 3:2, and with an effective picture size equivalent to a particular number of
pixels (approx. 18 megapixels) produced by images with a size of 6K (approx.
6,000 (horizontal)3,000 (vertical)).
