Using variable frame rates (VFR)
Standard speed shooting for movie
production
When making movies to show on a screen, a frame
rate of 24 fps (frames per second), which is the
same as for films, is the norm (1x speed). If you
use the settings below, the same kind of playback
as with screenings can be obtained. By using the
720P progressive mode and cine-like gamma,
high-quality film-like images can be achieved.

shown on a TV screen, as in the case of HDTV/

(frames per second) is the norm (1x speed).

clouds, someone standing among crowd of people,
and moves made by martial artists. If, for instance,
you have shot scenes using the 24P recording
format for specifying the playback frames, you can

by using a nonlinear editing system to process
what has been recorded.
