Content Id: 8203724100


Solution

Caution

The procedure is shown on a XF405 for the purposes of explanation. The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.

You can record clips that have a slow motion or fast motion effect during playback, simply by selecting the desired slow/fast motion rate (from x0.25 to x1200 the normal speed). Available slow/fast motion rates will vary depending on the resolution and frame rate currently selected. Sound is not recorded when slow & fast motion recording is activated.

1. Set the power switch to [CAMERA].

2. Press the [MENU] button.

3. Touch [ * Recording Setup ] -⋗ [Slow & Fast Motion].

* VIXIA GX10/LEGRIA GX10 :

4. Touch the desired slow & fast motion rate.

5. Touch [ ].

Caution

Touch [ ] to turn off slow & fast motion recording.

Caution

Slow & fast motion recording cannot be used together with the following functions.

 - Dual recording

 - Relay recording

 - Pre-recording

 - Color bars

When the slow motion rate is set to x0.5 (50.00P) or x0.25 (25.00P), face detection & tracking cannot be used together with slow & fast motion recording.
About the time code when slow & fast motion recording is activated:

 - The time code mode can be set to [ Regen.], or to [ Preset ] with [ Rec Run ] running mode.

 - If the time code running mode was set to [ Free Run ], the time code running mode will be changed automatically to [ Rec Run ] when slow & fast motion recording is activated.

 - When slow & fast motion recording is turned off, the time code running mode will return to its previous setting.

 - The time code signal cannot be output from the SDI OUT terminal ( only) or HDMI OUT terminal.

The maximum continuous recording time of a single clip using slow motion recording is the equivalent of 6 hours of playback time. Consequently, it differs depending on the slow motion rate used. For example, when the [x0.5] rate is selected, the maximum continuous recording time will be 3 hours (which, played back at x0.5 slow motion, equal 6 hours of playback time).
