Slow & Quick Motion Recording
76
Recording
When an HQ Progressive (P) video format is
selected (page 49), you can set the frame rate for
recording different from that for playback.
By recording at the different frame rate, you can
obtain smoother slow-motion or quick-motion
effect when compared with slow-speed or fast-
speed playback of a material recorded at the
normal recording speed.
Example
When the video format is HQ 720/24P, recording
with a frame rate between 1 and 23 fps provides a
quick-motion effect in playback, and recording
with the frame rate between 25 and 60 fps
provides a slow-motion effect in playback.
Notes
• Slow & Quick Motion cannot be activated
simultaneously with Frame Recording or
Interval Recording. When you activate Slow &
Quick Motion, Frame Recording and Interval
Recording are forcibly set to “Off.”
• No audio recording is made if the recording
frame rate is set to a value different from the
playback frame rate.
• Slow & Quick Motion recording cannot be
made if “Video Format” of the OTHERS menu
is set to HQ 1080/60i, HQ 1080/50i, SP 1080/
60i, SP 1080/50i, or SP 1080/24P.
• When using a PHU-60K (page 45), set the
camcorder to one of the following conditions.
Slow & Quick Motion recording cannot be done
properly with other conditions.
