Special Recording Modes; Slow Motion Recording Mode - Canon EOS C200 Instruction Manual

Special Recording Modes

The camera features the following special recording modes.
Slow motion recording: This mode allows you to change the shooting frame rate to achieve a slow motion effect
during playback.
Pre-recording: The camera will start recording a few seconds before you press the REC button. This is especially
useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.
Frame recording: The camera will record one frame every time you press the REC button. This mode is suitable
for recording stop motion animation.
Interval recording: The camera will automatically record one frame at a pre-defined interval. This mode is suitable
for recording subjects with little movement, such as natural surroundings or plants.
Operating modes:

Slow Motion Recording Mode

The camera can record using a progressive frame rate (shooting frame rate) that is different from the playback
frame rate. Recording a clip at a higher frame rate than the [Frame Rate] setting will result in a slow motion effect
during playback (up to 1/5 of the original speed). The maximum recording length of a clip depends on the frame
rate but the playback time cannot exceed approximately 6 hours.
Sound is not recorded when slow motion recording is activated.
