Shooting
Variable Frame REC
Shooting in this mode allows you to obtain smooth slow
motion or quick motion videos.
Using different frame rate settings for recording and
playback, videos captured at normal speed can be played
back more smoothly than those in low or high speed
playback.
To enable Variable Frame REC, the following two settings are
required at the same time.
● [Camera Resolution] in the [Record Format] menu is set
to A1280x720B.
● [Frame & Bit Rate] in the [Record Format] menu is set to
A30p(HQ)B, A24p(HQ)B, or A25p(HQ)B.
Ⅵ Number of Frames that can be Set
1 Set [Camera Resolution] to A1280x720B, then set
[Frame & Bit Rate]. (A Page 71)
Set [Frame & Bit Rate] to A30p(HQ)B, A24p(HQ)B, or
A25p(HQ)B.

(A Page 71)
The selectable frame rates are as shown below.
Memo:
● When [AE LEVEL] in the [Main Menu]B[Camera
Function]B[Switch Set] menu is set to AAE LEVEL/VFRB,
you can use the cross-shaped button (
H I) to select the
frame rate during Variable Frame REC. In modes other
than Variable Frame REC, the cross-shaped button (
H I)
functions as the [AE LEVEL] setting button. (A Page 75)
Note:
● The recording frame rate cannot be changed during
recording. To change the frame rate, stop the recording
first and perform the change.
● When the [TC GENE.] switch located on the inner panel of
the LCD is set to AFREEB, videos are recorded in REC
(RecRun) time code.
● Audio cannot be recorded. A mark appears in the audio
level meter display. (A Page 96)
● Depending on the settings, images beyond the recording
stop position may be recorded and it may take time for the
camera recorder to enter ASTBYB mode.
