By recording using a frame rate that is different to the playback frame rate, you can record smooth slow motion video and fast motion video.


Slow Motion Video (Overcrank Recording)

Set a number of frames that is higher than the recording frame rate of the [Rec Quality].

For example: When recording at 48 fps and set to a 24.00p [Rec Quality], the speed is halved.

Fast Motion Video (Undercrank Recording)

Set a number of frames that is lower than the recording frame rate of the [Rec Quality].

For example: When recording at 12 fps and set to a 24.00p [Rec Quality], the speed is doubled.
