A7iv Burst bit rate?

[FlyinDoc]

Is the A7iv AF-C burst rate in lossless and uncompressed 14-bit? I understand it drops down to 12-bit for lossy compressed, but the information regarding Uncompressed and Lossless Compressed is unavailable.

I guess this applies to A1 and A7Siii too, as these are the first Sony cameras to add Lossless Compressed. Sony's explainer article

has not been updated with the information about the newest cameras.

The information is available. It's right in the Sony Help Guide:

About RAW images

• To open a RAW image file recorded with this camera, the software Imaging Edge Desktop is needed. With Imaging Edge Desktop, you can open a RAW image file, then convert it into a popular image format such as JPEG or TIFF, or readjust the white balance, saturation or contrast of the image.
• RAW images recorded with this camera have a resolution of 14 bits per pixel. However, resolution is limited to 12 bits in the following shooting modes:
  • [Cont. Shooting] when [RAW File Type] is set to [Compressed]
• You can set the compression method for RAW images using [RAW File Type].

The only time you will get 12 bit is when you are shooting continuous shooting when raw type is set to compressed. So you can shoot lossy compressed and get 14 bit, if you are shooting single shot.

Thank you. Another User had guided me to the relevant section of the Help Guide in the Main Review Comments section.
