Sorry but that's just due to your misunderstanding how the SDI output on the FS700 works. Like Mitch said, it doesn't send out a *video* signal. It sends out a RAW signal that must be processed. This is an extra step and requires more work than just recording a video signal. Thus, the reason why they charge for the FS700 RAW function. They maybe should have a disclaimer to clarify that, but the reality is that there is nothing wrong or misleading about the Compressed recording mode list. It captures ProRes is all of those resolutions and frame rates, as long as your camera is sending in a video signal with those resolutions and frame rates. That's where the difference lies.

Yes, I completely understand, but to a newbie like me it did seem like I would get at least that option out of the box. The 7Q is awesome, but it does disappoint to not be able to access what I thought would be available right away (even if it was due to my own ignorance). I also understand the description is accurate, but a little clarification can go a long way... Maybe just *
*Except on the the FS700, which REQUIRES the license.
... you know?
Anyway, now I need to save up some dough for the Sony RAW License.
Best,
