Special Recording Modes
NOTES
• You can use only one special recording mode at a time.
• The number of frames recorded cannot be changed while recording.
120
• 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 movie format or video configuration.
• During this special recording mode, the time code's running mode (A 90) can be set to [Rec Run] or [Regen.]
and the time code advances by the number of frames recorded. If the time code's running mode is set to [Free
Run] or the time code is input from an external source, the running mode will switch to [Rec Run] during
special recording mode. When the special recording mode is deactivated, the running mode will return to its
previous setting.
•
During special recording mode, the time code signal will not be output from the TIME CODE terminal,
3G/HD-SDI terminal or MON. terminal.
Slow & Fast Motion Mode
When you set the frame rate to a progressive frame rate (A 55), 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 (up to 40% of the original speed).
Conversely, a lower frame rate will result in a fast motion effect (up to 5x the original speed). Sound is not
recorded in this special recording mode.
