Special Recording Modes
90
NOTES
• You can use only one special recording mode at a time.
• While recording, you cannot change the number of frames.
• Some frames at the point the recording was stopped may be recorded and added to the end of the clip.
• Frame recording mode will be deactivated if the special recording mode is changed or turned off. It will be
deactivated also if you change the [J Other Functions] [Bit Rate/Resolution] or [Frame Rate] setting.
• The time code advances by the number of frames recorded. If the running mode of the time code (0 70) is
set to [Free Run] or the time code is input from an external source (b only), the running mode will switch
to [Rec Run] during special recording mode. When special recording mode is deactivated, the running mode
will return to its previous setting.
• b During special recording mode, the time code signal will not be output from the GENLOCK/TC
terminal or HD/SD SDI terminal.
Slow & Fast Motion Mode
When you set [J Other Functions] [Frame Rate] to a progressive frame rate (0 46), the camcorder can
record with a frame rate (shooting frame rate) that is different from the playback frame rate. Recording a clip at a
higher frame rate than the [Frame Rate] setting will result in a slow motion effect during playback. Conversely, a
lower frame rate will result in a fast motion effect. Sound is not recorded in this mode.
Configuring Slow & Fast Motion Mode
1 Open the [S&F Frame Rate] submenu.
[J Other Functions] [Slow & Fast Motion] [S&F Frame Rate]
2 Select the desired shooting frame rate and then press SET.
Available Shooting Frame Rates
* Available only when [J Other Functions] [Bit Rate/Resolution] is set to
[50 Mbps 1280x720] or [35 Mbps 1280x720].
Activating Slow & Fast Motion Mode and Recording
1 Open the [Special Rec] submenu.
[J Other Functions] [Special Rec]
2 Select [Slow & Fast Motion] and then press SET.
• [S&F STBY] appears at the top of the screen.

screen next to the [J Other Functions] [Frame Rate] setting (the
playback frame rate).
