Thanks smurfpiss.
So it means that I selected and recorded it correctly. Just that I was expecting the display to look significantly larger and not the size of 1080. Haha.
What do you mean by 'the resolution is still 1080p'? The resolution of the file when you view it on your comp? If it's 1080p, then maybe you did record wrongly. When I had the LX100, my SanDisk Ultra card was too slow, could only record 10-15s per shot in 4K then it would flash an error message.
Expecting which display to look larger? The file is indeed larger in resolution if you view it at 100%.
My guess is that the viewer you're using might be downscaling it to fit the screen. Perhaps you have to load it into an NLE timeline to see the actual size at 100%
For example, if I open one of the 4K clips using Quicktime on my non-retina mbp, it is downscaled to 1440x810 to fit my screen resolution (1440x900), but the full resolution is actually 3840 x 2160px if you check the file specs.

Yes yes. I don't have a 4k monitor. I am just using a 27 inch iMac. Was stupidly thinking it would have filled the screen. Haha
Hmm. Ok. Now I am confused. Let me go back office on Monday and use the inspector and check the files.
Thanks!
Tried playing back the 4K video and ... My desktop can't keep up at all , sobs
Managed to take the Type 109 out for a trip. Just sharing some SOOC JPEGs. All either in Natural (customised) or Standard (customised)

Was quite worried about noise in low light but the camera managed to not only lock on fast and accurately but was also able to deliver.
this one's a keeper

Hi kandisky, back in the office i checked the sample files i tried in Harvey Norman.
Yes, the files says that it is only 1080p. I guess i have to go back Harvey Norman and try again. haha.
Bro Ricleo...I too have issues with bright lights on 109. The results are not pleasing especially on neon lights lit sign boards on buildings and the lettering cannot be seem at all. I try to bring down EV and/or ISO to see whether it helps.
Bro Tomcat...Thanks for sharing your tip on getting Cokin ultra thin filter from Malaysia online site. I took delivery in 4 days after placing order. Thanks!

Yeah, thought so.
If it's at least a class 10 card but not fast enough to sustain 4K, the camera will still allow you to start recording 4K for as long as it can sustain, (in my experience was usually between 10-15 seconds) before it cuts off with this error message:
You should be able to tell from the properties of the mp4 file if it was taken in HD or 4K.
