Sony A1II Pre-Recording of Video on the A1ii

[dgbarar]

Hi All:

I have not been able to find this anywhere. Does anyone know if the A1ii can capture video prior to pressing the record button?

Thank you in advance.

As far as I know, precapture only applies to still images, not to video.

I tried to look for it, and it looks like AI has gotten confused on the subject. I will be interested to hear if I am wrong on this.

It only applies to still photography, according to my guide.

Hi AW: I believe that is correct that the A1ii does not support pre-recording of video. Only the FX6 does that. Which brings up the point that Google AI is almost valueless. It confuses video pre-recording with still pre-capture. Google AI also makes the claim that the both Nikon and Olympus have video pre-recording--they do not. The only mirrorless that I know of that includes pre-recording of video is the R5ii. Canon calls this feature "pre-roll". Too bad I do not like Canon's telephoto zoom lenses. All are externally zooming. However, if Canon releases an internally zooming RF 300-600 I may reconsider provided the price is less than $7,500.
