Filming High-Speed Movies - OM SYSTEM OM-5 Instruction Manual

Filming High-Speed Movies

Film at high frame rates. Movies are filmed at 120 fps and play back at 60 fps. Stretching playback to
double the recording time (as is the case when 60p is selected as the playback frame rate) lets you
view in slow motion movements that in real life took only the blink of an eye.
A high-speed movie option can be included in the movie image quality menu. Your choice of playback
frame rate determines the playback speed multiplier.
Changes to settings are reflected in the movie quality icon as shown below.
