It means what it says, 14bit readout for 2048 x 1080. Zcam used the 10bit readout mode for 240fps.

None of the current Sony sensors are capable of 14bit ADC readout for 4K at video framerates. Plus, higher ADC bitdepth comes with higher power consumption. GH5S has full one stop DR advantage over GH5:

It's really easy to find out using the published specs. In FF 6K 3:2 mode there's almost no crop, at 5952 x 3968. In S35 mode it's all 1:1 readout, including the 4:3 mode, which is 3328 x 2496, or 19.67 x 14.79mm window.

Other than ADC bitdepth, ISP can affect DR as well - by applying noise reduction. Only ARRI cameras and BMD URSA 4.6K have dual ADC readout. Some recent Sony Semicon sensors (571, 461, 455) do have dual ADC readout mode, called DOL-HDR, but it comes at the expense of twice the amount of rolling shutter, it's not implemented yet in any consumer cameras

You have to look at “screen” DR, which reflects pixel level DR, instead of “print” that takes into account downscaling using DxO’s proprietary algorithm. So it’s actually 13.55EV for D850 and 13.45EV for Z6.

I leaked before them, in the A7S III thread buried somewhere.

Sony Semicon already has a 10MP sensor that does 4K 120p with no crop There’s no EIS

It has to be 1:1 readout for speed, it can't supersample 4K in 120P.

60MP with 2 x 2 binned bayer = 15MP 15mp 1:1 4K readout = 1.3x crop.

Turn on "Movie Silent Control".

Allegedly 4K 120P with 1.3x crop.

We all know what it is.

You must be based in Dublin ? So am I.

Get highlight -2 and DR400 for the best highlight roll-off.

It's only possible because of this newly released stacked sensor, IMX383. However, all those relevant readout modes are using 10bit ADC, which would seriously compromise IQ.

This is what the IMX383 sensor is capable of: https://www.sony-semicon.co.jp/products/common/pdf/IMX383-AAQK_Flyer.pdf

https://dronedj.com/2019/11/26/autel-evo-2-specs-drone-with-8k-6k-with-1-inch-sensor-and-thermal-options/ The three user-changeable gimbal modules for the Autel Evo 2 are: 586 gimbal: provides an 8K video camera that will take still photos of up to 48MP and records 8K video at 25 fps, 6K at 30 fps, or 4K at 30 or 60 fps with a bit rate of up to 120 Mbps. 383 gimbal: features an Ultra-HD camera with a 1-inch sensor for 6K video and still photos of up to 20MP. It will record video up to 5.5K at 60fps or 4K video at 120 fps and has an adjustable lens aperture from f/2.8 to f/11. Dual-sensor gimbal: provides an infrared camera that takes infrared images of 640 x 512 or 320 x 256 and records video at 720p at 30 fps in dual image mode. It has the same 8K video camera as described above.

I was told that 10bit H.265/HEVC codec will be available at official launch. But looking at some raw footage, it just looks oversharpened and mushy with aggressive NR. There are some of the most brilliant engineers on the dev team but adding an imaging expert would definitely be able to take them to the next level.

Non-crop 4K on X-T3 and Z6 has the same rolling shutter at around 21ms.

X-T3/X-T30 already readout and supersample the sensor at 6K 50P.

Seriously for this kind of shoots, X-T3 would be a B-cam, the size and weight of a rig are just unrealistic for dynamic follow shots. A-cam would be a GoPro and a drone.

It'll come with V4 firmware at a later date.

New firmware announcement for X-T3: ■ Firmware update for the X-T3, due to be released in December 2019 Firmware version: FUJIFILM X-T3（Ver. 3.10） Gimbal / Drone support*** This firmware adds the following function to complement the current support for still image shooting via USB communications: Starting and ending video recording Adjusting exposure settings (exposure mode, shutter speed, aperture, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation) for video recording Making manual focus adjustments ■ Firmware update for the X-T3, due to be released in January 2020 Firmware version: FUJIFILM X-T3（Ver. 3.20） 1. Enhanced autofocus Improving the tracking performance of the eye AF frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus on the eyes Improving face-detection performance when there are faces of different sizes within the same frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus Improving autofocus capability on a foreground subject even when there is a mixture of foreground and background subjects within a frame, causing the foreground subject to go out of focus, e.g. when shooting flowers against a busy background 2. Capability to save up to 9,999 pictures in each folder Until now, the number of pictures that can be saved in a folder on an SD card was limited to 999. This update will raise the limit by ten times to 9,999 pictures.

You can use Interframe Noise Reduction, since you're not going to film crazy action shots, it'll be very effective in controlling noise.

Correct. But if that’s relevant to what we are discussing here, all films should be shot with just one super wide focal length and just crop in post for different shot sizes.
