4. What's a Variable Frame Rate? Special Techniques Undercranking to Increase the Gain When lighting is insufficient, the frame rate can be reduced to increase the gain while preserving image quality. A slower shutter speed produces an even more effective result. Undercranking with No FRC This technique uses undercranking for fast-motion recording. This technique cannot be used with images shot with a film camera. It is often used when producing commercials recorded with the VariCam. The resulting image creates a fast-motion effect. It gives a blurry effect to a normal-speed image, to achieve a unique ambience. This technique is not recommended for scenes in which an object moves across the screen, since the motion will be somewhat jerky. 31
