[Variable Frame Rate]
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. |

You can filter to show just the recording qualities where [Variable Frame Rate] can be used. ([Filtering]) We recommend using a tripod when recording images with [Variable Frame Rate]. Focus mode switches to MF. (When using an interchangeable lens with no focus ring, you cannot set focus with MF.) If you press the [AF ON] only before recording starts, the focus will be adjusted automatically. – You can also perform the same operation by pressing the Fn button assigned with [AF-ON]. (Fn Buttons) Audio will not be recorded during variable frame rate recording. When set to a frame rate exceeding 60 fps, there may be some deterioration in recording quality.
