Slow & Quick Motion Recording; Preparatory Settings - Sony PMW-EX1R Operating Instructions Manual

Stopping Picture Cache Recording
Press the REC START/STOP button.
Canceling Picture Cache function
Set "Setting" of "P.Cache Rec" of the CAMERA
SET menu to "Off" or press the assignable button
to which you assigned the Picture Cache function.
Notes
• If you change the recording format, the cached
data are cleared and caching is newly started.
Therefore, data cached before you changed the
format cannot be recorded if you start Picture
Cache Recording immediately after changing
the format.
• If you start/stop Picture Cache Recording
immediately after you insert an SxS memory
card, data may not be recorded on the card.
• Picture caching starts when you activate the
Picture Cache function. Therefore, video before
the function is activated cannot be recorded
with Picture Cache Recording.
• Picture Cache Recording is invalid for external
input signal (HDV).
• As picture caching is disabled while an SxS
memory card is being accessed, such as during
playback, Rec Review, or thumbnail screen
display, Picture Cache Recording of such a
period cannot be made.
• Although you can change the "P.Cache Rec
Time" setting on the menu even while recording
is in progress, any new value becomes valid in
such a case only after recording is stopped.
74 Slow & Quick Motion Recording
Slow & Quick Motion
Recording
When the camcorder is in HD Mode and one of
the following video formats is selected (page 43),
you can set a frame rate for recording different
from that for playback:
NTSC Area
HQ 1920/30P, HQ 1920/24P, HQ 1280/60P, HQ
1280/30P, HQ 1280/24P
PAL Area
HQ 1920/25P, HQ 1280/50P, HQ 1280/25P
By recording at a different frame rate, you can
obtain a smoother slow-motion or quick-motion
effect than with slow-speed or fast-speed
playback of a material recorded at the normal
recording speed.
Example
When the video format is HQ 1280/24P,
recording with a frame rate between 1 and 23 fps
provides a quick-motion effect in playback, and
recording with a frame rate between 25 and 60 fps
provides a slow-motion effect in playback.
Notes
• Slow & Quick Motion cannot be activated in
SD Mode.
• Slow & Quick Motion mode cannot be used if
"i.LINK I/O" is set to "HDV" or "DVCAM"
with the OTHERS menu.
• When you set Slow & Quick Motion to "On,"
Frame Recording, Interval Recording, and
Picture Cache Recording are forcibly set to
"Off." However, Slow & Quick Motion cannot
be activated while Frame Recording, Interval
Recording, or Picture Cache Recording is in
progress.
• No audio recording is made if the recording
frame rate is set to a value different from the
playback frame rate.
