Higher-speed Shooting at 25* to 60 fps
For example, shoot at 48 fps to attain a 1/2x slow-motion
effect with playback at the cinema speed of 24 fps. This is
especially effective for high-action scenes such as car chases
or spectacular crashes, or for scenes with great dramatic
impact. Unlike the slow motion captured at playback speed by
ordinary video cameras, the AJ-HDC27H captures highly dense
frames to provide a smooth, naturally flowing slow-motion
effect with vivid picture quality.
