Use of Variable Frame Rate (VFR)
Normal speed shooting for movie production
When producing videos for screening, a frame
rate of 24fps as used in film projection is standard
(x1). By using the settings below, playback with the
same quality as the film projection is possible. Film
like high quality video can be produced through
1080p progressive and CINELIKE Gamma.

Normal speed shooting for commercial/drama
production
When producing videos for display on television
screen such as HDTV/SDTV broadcast, a frame
rate of 30fps is standard (x1). By using the settings

Undercrank shooting
This is a quick motion effect that can be applied
to scenes showing the flow of clouds, people
standing in the middle of crowds, and kung fu, etc.
For example, a quick motion effect of x2 can be
gained if the VFR recording frame rate is set to
12fps when recording with the 24P recording
format that specifies the playback frame rate.

Overcrank shooting
This is a slow motion effect that can be applied
to scenes such as car chases, action, climaxes,
etc. For example, a slow motion effect of 1/2 can
be gained if the VFR recording frame rate is set
to 60fps when recording with the 30P recording
format that specifies the playback frame rate.
1080P progressive movies produce smooth, high
quality slow motion.
