Chapter 4 Shooting - Variable frame rate (VFR) recording function Variable frame rate (VFR) recording function This camera can shoot quick motion (undercrank) or slow motion (overcrank) video in 1080P and in the AVC‑I100 mode. You can select native (PN) recording mode and standard (OVER) recording. In native recording, quick motion and slow motion effects can be obtained without processing recorded images in nonlinear recording system. In standard recording, quick motion and slow motion effects can be obtained by processing recorded images in nonlinear recording system.

Chapter 4 Shooting — Variable frame rate (VFR) recording function
Variable frame rate (VFR) recording function
This camera can shoot quick motion (undercrank) or slow motion (overcrank) video in 1080P and in the AVC-I100 mode.
You can select native (PN) recording mode and standard (OVER) recording.
In native recording, quick motion and slow motion effects can be obtained without processing recorded images in nonlinear recording system. In
standard recording, quick motion and slow motion effects can be obtained by processing recorded images in nonlinear recording system.
