Slow & Fast Motion Recording

The camera can record using a progressive frame rate (shooting frame rate) that is different from the playback frame rate. Recording a clip at a higher frame rate than the [Frame Rate] setting will result in a slow motion effect during playback. Conversely, a lower frame rate will result in a fast motion effect.
In most cases, sound is not recorded when slow & fast motion recording is activated. However, sound will be recorded if the main recording format is set to [XF-AVC (CFast)] and the shooting frame rate is the same as the frame rate in the video configuration.

 NOTES

• The shooting frame rate cannot be changed while recording.
• The time code signal will not be output from the TIME CODE IN/OUT terminal or MON. terminals.
• For slower shooting frame rates, it may take a few seconds to stop recording.
• If the system frequency is changed, slow & fast motion recording will be cancelled and the shooting frame rate will be reset to its default value.
