Additionally, when utilising Dynamic Active mode, Clear Image Zoom functionality is not available.

With its Cinematic Vlog setting, this camera ensures that you can effortlessly produce scenes resembling feature films. Moreover, by selecting a Look, Mood, and AF transition speed, this camera allows you to craft cinematic vlog footage that aligns with your creative vision and the scene's ambience. Furthermore, the setting offers various Look options, such as S-Cinetone, which enhances skin tones, and Mood options that emphasise specific colours. Additionally, the AF transition speed determines the autofocus’ switching speed between subjects. In addition, the cinematic experience is further enhanced by using an up to 24 FPS frame rate and a widescreen Cinemascope aspect ratio of up to 2.35:1 with black borders above and below the image. And, this functionality is available in both Movie and S and Q modes, but not for XAVC S-I 4K recording in S and Q mode. Notably, when the Mono Look is chosen, Mood is unavailable. In addition, the recording frame rates are specified as near integer values, with the actual corresponding frame rates as follows, 24p with up to 23.98 fps, 30p with up to 29.97 fps, 60p with up to 59.94 fps, and 120p with up to 119.88 fps. Furthermore, it's important to note that the black bands above and below the image are recorded as part of the image, creating the Cinemascope aspect ratio, while the entire recorded image area maintains an up to 16:9 aspect ratio.

Including a high-precision stabilisation unit and gyro sensors, this camera benefits from sophisticated electronic stabilisation when combined with the five-axis optical in-body image stabilisation system, resulting in the Dynamic Active mode.
