You can record smooth slow motion video and quick motion video by using a frame rate for recording that differs from the recording frame rate.



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 when set to a 24.00p [Rec Quality], the speed is halved.


Quick 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 when set to a 24.00p [Rec Quality], the speed is doubled.
