Show Remaining Videotime [ Don’t, hh:mm:ss, KB/s, both ] < Video Parameters
Displays a positionable OSD element to show the video bit-rate, and the remaining video
recording-time, on your SD card,…
Don't - No display of remaining recording time and/or video data-rate.
hh:mm:ss - Display a clock of remaining video-recording time left.
KB/s - Display video recording bandwidth (data-rate) in Kilobytes per Second.
Both - Display remaining video-recording time in both hours/mins/secs, and video
! data-rate in Kilobytes per Second.
Refresh Rate (~sec) < Video Parameters < Main Menu
Due to the nature of video's variable bit-rate and compression methods, subject dependent,
the "Show Remaining Videotime" has to be updated regularly by re-polling the card-space
and the bit-rate to calculate a fairly accurate time-remaining estimate. Choose, in seconds,
how often that you want this Video-Recording time-remaining to be updated. Shorter periods
of time are less accurate from each on-screen update to the next.

RAW Parameters < Main Menu
Save Raw Enable [] / Disable [ ]
Enables the saving of RAW files. Enabling RAW does not
disable JPEG, both are saved. Also required for saving DNG.

Disable @ Video Record? Enable [] / Disable [ ]
Some cameras, the S-Series in particular, have a dedicated "Video Record" button where you can
engage that and also shoot individual still-frames during video recording. It was found that
RAW file-saving can interfere in this process. Turning this option on will ensure that you don't
miss a shot or your video.
Disable RAW @ Sports Enable [] / Disable [ ]
Disable RAW saving when the Mode-Dial is turned to Sports Mode. This ensures that fast action
sequences won't be missed due to RAW file-saving time, when forgetting to disengage the RAW
feature.
Disable RAW @ Burst Enable [] / Disable [ ]
Disable RAW file-saving when using burst mode. Again, a handy override for when RAW is not
needed during fast burst-sequence shots (RAW enabled would certainly increase time between
shots)
Disable RAW @ Timer Enable [] / Disable [ ]
Disable RAW file-saving when using your camera's Custom Timer mode (similar to the safety
feature for the burst mode).
