Variable Frame Rate (VFR) shooting is the most distinctive feature of AG-HPX500.
You need to select 720p mode and follow the next page procedures.
The basic operation procedures are the same as AG-HVX200.
Overcrank shooting
This is a type of slow-motion effect, known as High Speed (HS). In Progressive mode, when the recording format
is set to 24 fps (24p, 24pN), 25 fps (25p, 25pN) or 30 fps (30p, 30pN), you can shoot slow-motion video by setting
a higher than original frame rate, up to a maximum of 2.5 times the original rate (60 fps set in 24p mode).
Undercrank shooting
This is the opposite of the overcrank concept. By setting a lower frame rate than that of the selected format
(less than 24, 25 or 30), you can shoot fast-motion video that looks speeded up when you play it back.
