Making Settings for Slow & Fast Motion Recording (XF200 / XF205)

Solution

 

When you set the frame rate to a progressive frame rate, the camcorder can record with a frame rate(shooting frame rate) that is different from the playback frame rate. Recording a clip at a higher frame ratethan the [Frame Rate] setting will result in a slow motion effect during playback (up to 40% of the originalspeed). Conversely, a lower frame rate will result in a fast motion effect (up to 5x the original speed). Sound is not recorded in this special recording mode.

1. Hold down the button on the <POWER> switch and move it to <CAMERA>.

 

 

2. Press the <MENU> button to open the menu.

2. Press the <START/STOP> button again to stop recording.
  • The clip is recorded at the selected frame rate.
  • The tally lamps go out and [S&F STBY] appears at the top of the screen.
  • To deactivate interval recording:

NOTE
  • Slow & fast motion recording cannot be used together with other special recording modes or double slot recording.
  • The shooting frame rate cannot be changed while recording.
  • During this special recording mode, the time codes running mode can be set to [Rec Run] or [Regen.] and the time code advances by the number of frames recorded. If the time codes running mode is set to [Free Run] or the time code is input from an external source, the running mode will switch to [Rec Run] during special recording mode. When the special recording mode is deactivated, the running mode will return to its previous setting.
  • For lower shooting frame rates, it may take approximately 1 second to stop recording.
  • Slow & fast motion mode will be deactivated if the special recording mode is changed or turned off. It will be deactivated also if you change the video format or video configuration.
  • When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps, relay recording is not available during slow motion recording.
  • During special recording mode, the time code signal will not be output from the TIME CODE terminal,3G/HD-SDI terminal or MON. terminal.
