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.

bullet02Variable frame rate video with a recording quality with the ALL-Intra image compression system cannot be recorded to SD cards. Use CFexpress cards.

bullet02The volume of data recorded increases when you record slow motion video, so if the card writing speed is insufficient, recording may stop.


  1. Set the recording mode to [icon_mode-p-motion_table].
