Super slow motion mode
The super slow motion system on the NEX-FS700R represents a technological evolution from conventional slow and quick motion
functions, allowing slow-motion recording at up to 10 x normal speed (i.e., maximum 240fps) in Full HD resolution. Slower speeds (up to
40 x slow motion or 960fps) can be achieved at slightly reduced image quality. The recording frame rate is substantially faster than the
playback frame rate, producing incredibly smooth slow-motion playback that is far superior to conventional slowed playback systems.
In conventional cameras, higher frame rates limit the amount of available light and the picture quality is often poor. But the higher
sensitivity and improved noise reduction of the large sensor in the NEX-FS700R ensures excellent image quality even in super slow
motion.
■ How super slow motion works
• In super slow motion mode, the shutter speed is higher than the frame rate. The higher the frame rate, the darker the image. Aim for
well-lit environments (outdoor or indoor) and manually boost the camera gain and aperture settings to maximize the available light.
Auto aperture, gain/ISO and shutter speed control functions are disabled in super slow motion mode.
These must be adjusted manually as described in Controlling the brightness on page 9.
The shutter speed must not be lower than the recording frame rate.
• Higher frame rates can produce a flickering or shuddering effect when used with certain types of lights. It may be necessary to
use lighting equipment designed specifically for high-speed filming.
• Super slow motion picture quality may vary from standard picture quality due to differences in the sensor read mode.
For optimum picture quality at 10 x super slow motion speed, set the recording format to 1080/24p FX mode (24 Mbps), frame
rate = 240fps.
At 480/400fps frame rate, the full recorded vertical resolution is not available.
At 960/800fps, the recorded image quality is subject to approx. 2 x teleshift and images are displayed and recorded at SD size.
• SDI/HDMI video output is at 1080 60/50p. This signal can be enhanced with third-party equipment for recording and editing
purposes.
Simultaneous recording onto the memory card and flash memory unit is not supported. Select the media type from the menu
system (REC/OUTPUT SET SWITCH MEDIA).
• Audio is not recorded.
• The white balance one-push button is disabled.
• Time code is automatically set to REC RUN.
• The histogram display is disabled. Use the zebra display for checking brightness.
