The file size is determined solely by the bitrate and the manufacturer can choose whichever bitrate they want.

The can choose the same bitrate for 4k as for 720p if they want.

There is an option to lower the bitrate, which you can consider for 1080p

How? Changing from Pro to HQ? Have you tested? Did you see any difference?

On theNx300 you only have normal or HQ. If we change to HQ on the NX 500, will the 1080p be as good as on the Nx300? What is strange is that the bit rate seems to affect resolution, as well...

The real question to ask is what bitrate you consider sufficient for 1080p?

Incidentally, the quality of the 1080p footage on the nx500 is, imo, better than the cropped 4k on the nx500.

I agree, but on the Nx1 it is different, right? What wouls you choose, if the siles are the same size? It is stupid to record i 1080p if you can record in 4K, and maintain the same file size, right?

Thanks

PS: I found it... people should read their camera's manual (pag 121), once in a while LOL
