Variable Frame Rec

TOP

Shooting in this mode allows you to obtain smooth slow motion or quick motion videos.

Using different frame rate settings for recording and playback, videos captured at normal speed can be played back more smoothly than those in low or high speed playback.

Th ability to change the frame rate during recording enables quick to gradually slow motion effects.

To enable Variable Frame Rec, the following settings are required.

[Record Format] arrowR [System] has been set to “HD”.

[Record Format] arrowR [ SlotA_B Resolution] is set to “1920x1080” or “1280x720”.

The frame rate in [Record Format] arrowR [ SlotA_B Frame & Bit Rate] is set to “30p”, “25p”, or “24p”.
