Slow & Fast Motion Recording - Canon XA25 Instruction Manual

Slow & Fast Motion Recording
Slow & Fast Motion Recording
When you record MP4 movies, the camcorder can record with a frame rate (shooting frame rate) that
is different from the playback frame rate. When you record with a shooting frame rate that is faster than
the playback frame rate (overcranking), you create a slow motion effect. Oppositely, a slower frame
rate will result in a fast motion effect (undercranking). Sound is not recorded in this mode.
Operating modes:

• During slow & fast motion recording mode, the running mode of the time code (A 75) is set to [Rec
Run] or [Regen.] and the time code will advance by the number of frames recorded. If you activate
slow & fast motion recording mode while the running mode is set to [Free Run], the running mode
will automatically change to [Rec Run]. When you end slow & fast motion recording mode, the
running mode will return to its previous setting.
• For low shooting frame rates, it may take approximately 1 second to stop recording.
• To record movies using slow & fast motion, we recommend using memory cards rated SD Speed
Class 10.
• The amount of video that can be recorded at one time is approximately 12 hours' worth of video at
normal playback speed. When that amount is exceeded, the camcorder will automatically stop
recording. However, when you use slow & fast motion recording, the recording time will change. For
example, when the frame rate is set to 25.00P and the shooting frame rate is 50.00P, the recording
time will be 6 hours (playback time will be 12 hours).
