Easiest Vido Settings for R6II or R7?

p.1 #1 · Easiest Vido Settings for R6II or R7?


I can't find my little Panasonic camcorder, and I have to record a few miuntes of video for a family trip. Only cameras I have are my R6II and R7. I'm not filming a Netflix documentary, so I don't need Imax-like video quality this time around. The last time I attempted to use one of my cameras (R6 and A7c) for video at a family birthday party, BOTH cameras overheated and shut down continuously. That was the main reason why I purchased a dedicated Panasonic camcorder. Unfortunately, I stored it somewhere, but I can't find it right now, so I have no choice but to use either my R6II or R7 to shoot some amateur video footage.

Which of my cameras (R6II or R7) should I use? What are the easiest settings for video that will be shared via dlash drive/jump drive/memory stick or whatever you'd like to call it? I won't be sharing it online because it might ve too large regardless of the video recording format I choose. Also, my cellphone is absolute garbage when it comes to recording video, so that's not an option. Thanks in advance!

1080 / 30, auto everything. Neither will overheat. Even my R6 doesn't overheat doing 1080.

On a trip right now and brought the R6m2. Used for some video clips and no issues at all. Longest video was about 5 min. Using 4K
