Recording with Slow & Quick Motion
By shooting with a frame rate that is different from the playback frame rate, you can record images to be played back as slow motion or quick motion images. The images recorded with Slow & Quick Motion will appear smoother than slow or fast-forward playback of images recorded at normal speed (XAVC S 4K and XAVC S HD only).
