Question Sony FS700 owners. Question regarding the 4K firmware update.

[Mysticpuma]

Hi, sorry to bother you chaps but I am considering the upgrade simply for the continuous 240-fps shooting. The thing is, I am not keen to spend the money if I require the expensive add-on capture equipment or a 4K external recorder.

I would like to ask any FS700 owners who gave the 4K upgrade, is it possible to record at 240-fos (1080p) to a memory card (standard setup) or does it require the (too expensive for me) extra capture equipment?

Thanks for any help, cheers, MP

From this ad it would seem that on-board Full HD 240fps recording is not continuous:

• The NEX-FS700R offers full HD quality at 120 and 240 frames per second in a 16 or 8 second burst mode re-spectively.)
