Had my R5 II for a couple of months (stills shooter) after retiring my R6, and I am overwhelmed with all the video options.
I was a meeting last night and attempted to record the presentation and the annoying thing is the camera burned the battery down before the presentation was over (about 50 minutes in). I had it in 4K-U fine and standard lgop and 24 fps. I think.
Videos are NOT my jam (though I occasionally shoot them for family or business meetings if needed), With my R6 I just set it to 24 1080p and went about my business. These were usually loaded to youtube or cloud drives for personal/family use.
Since I've got the R5 II I figured I'd 'future proof' the video a little bit more and step up to 4K but now I've got too many choices with codecs, multi sampling, phase of the moon, etc.
Can anyone recommend a decent/simple 4K configuration that will get me decent picture quality and a long record time and no special software to view it on my computer?
