Recording In Slow Or Fast Motion ([Variable Frame Rate]) - Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 Owner's Manual

Recording in Slow or Fast Motion ([Variable Frame Rate])

Applicable modes:
You can record slow motion or fast motion pictures by changing the frame rate. In [Variable
Frame Rate], you can set the frame rate for recording.
Slow motion pictures (overcrank recording)
Used in scenes such as climaxes, a slow motion effect creates a dramatic impression. Set
a frame rate that provides more frames than the recording frame rate in [Rec Quality]
does.
Example: If you set [FHD/100M/24p] to [48fps] and record a motion picture, a slow motion
effect of 1/2 can be gained.
Fast motion pictures (undercrank recording)
A fast motion effect is used in scenes showing the flow of clouds, people standing in the
middle of crowds, etc. Set a frame rate that provides less frames than the recording frame
rate in [Rec Quality] does.
Example: If you set [FHD/100M/24p] to [12fps] and record a motion picture, a quick motion
effect of 2k can be gained.
