FPS

movie, slow&quick motion

When [Mode Settings] is set to [Fixed/Variable], you can select whether to shoot normal movies or slow-motion/quick-motion movies.

You can record slow-motion/quick-motion movies by setting the shooting frame rate and the recording frame rate to different rates.

The playback speed of slow-motion/quick-motion movies is determined by the shooting frame rate and recording frame rate settings.

This function can be used when the camera’s system software (firmware) is Ver.7.00 or later.

  1. MENU → (Shooting) → [Image Quality/Rec] → [FPS] → desired settings.

Menu item details

Fixed/Variable Select:
Selects whether to record normal-speed movies or slow-motion/quick-motion movies. (Fixed / Variable)

If you select [Variable], the movie will be in slow motion or quick motion, and no audio will be recorded.

FPS Select:
When [Fixed/Variable Select] is set to [Variable], use [FPS Select] to set the frame rate during shooting. This determines the playback speed of slow-motion/quick-motion movies.

When the shooting frame rate is higher than the recording frame rate, the movie will be in slow motion, and when it is lower, the movie will be in quick motion.

Hint

Note

  • In slow-motion/quick-motion recording, the actual shooting time differs from the time recorded in the movie. The recordable time displayed toward the top of the monitor shows the remaining recording time for the movie, not the remaining recording time on the memory card.
  • In slow-motion recording, the shutter speed becomes faster and you may not be able to obtain the proper exposure. If this happens, decrease the aperture value or set the ISO sensitivity to a higher value.
  • During slow-motion/quick-motion recording, the following functions are not available.
    • [Time Code Run]
    • [Time Code Output]
