Solution

When the movie format is set to MP4, you can use slow motion to capture scenes with lots of movement at half the normal speed, or fast motion to compress the passage of time into unique time-lapse scenes. With slow & fast motion recording, you can choose one of 8 speed options between 1/2x and 1200x the normal speed to record movies with a unique look. Additionally, for some fast motion settings you can choose to record a single frame or a short bit of video (about 0.5 seconds) at every interval.
Sound is not recorded during slow & fast motion recording.
