Slow & Quick Motion settings and
shooting
Before recording in Slow & Quick Motion mode,
you need to perform the "Slow & Quick" and
"Frame Rate" settings in the "OPERATION"
menu (see page 117).
When you finish making these settings, the
system frequency and the frame rate appear at the
top of the viewfinder screen. You can change the
frame rate while viewing the display in the
viewfinder by turning the MENU knob.
The Slow & Quick Motion mode setting and the
frame rate are retained even after the camcorder is
powered off.
Notes
• The Interval Rec, Picture Cache Rec, Frame Rec, and
Slow & Quick Motion function cannot be used at the
same time. When you select one of those modes, the
previously selected function is disabled automatically.
• Slow & Quick Motion is disabled when the slow
shutter function (viewfinder display "SLS") function is
enabled. The slow shutter function is disabled when
the Slow & Quick Motion function is enabled.
• Slow & Quick Motion is disabled when
"OPERATION" > "Input/Output" > "i.LINK I/O" in
the setup menu is set to "Enable." When Slow & Quick
Motion is enabled, "i.LINK I/O" is fixed as "Disable."
• Slow & Quick Motion settings cannot be changed
during recording.
