I have a noob question, I will set the file format to lossless compression, in the very rare occasions when I put the drive mode dial at 30FPS, will the camera automatically overwrite the lossless compression format and change it to lossy compression because 30FPS can only give you lossy compressed files? I hope I won’t have to manually change the lossless compression format to lossy every time I want to use the 30FPS, and change it back to lossless afterwards.
My best guess is no. Instead it will only shoot 20FPS even if your dial is on H+. On the A9/A9II if you are in Uncompressed it just shoots at the slower FPS (12 or 14...can't recall which as I've never used it) if the dial is on H (20FPS).
Probably fastest way will be to either set a My Menu item for changing the RAW type. Or possibly make use of the M1,2,3 settings which would mean switching to a different M mode. Although I also never use M modes so not sure how they work, which settings they retain/don't retain.
