It appears you would need to record externally to bypass internal NR.

Good point and supporting evidence by video. (I presume it works the same way with the α7S III.)

The FX6 (but not, from memory, the FX3) allows you to record internally without this heavy noise reduction.

Of course the noise reduction is usually useful, not least because it massively reduces the random motion of the image that needs to be compressed by the codec. So it greatly improves overall image quality with the highly lossy codecs we typically use with these cameras.

The codec stress of random noise is less with intra-frame codecs, right? These are available for the fx3 and fx30. And noise reduction smears detail in an ugly way so nr effects on image quality does not obviously increase iq.
