Making Settings for Slow & Fast Motion Recording (XF200 / XF205)

When you set the frame rate to a progressive frame rate, 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.

Slow & fast motion recording cannot be used together with other special recording modes or double slot recording.

During this special recording mode, the time code’s running mode 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.

For lower shooting frame rates, it may take approximately 1 second to stop recording.

Slow & fast motion mode will be deactivated if the special recording mode is changed or turned off. It will be deactivated also if you change the video format or video configuration.

When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps, relay recording is not available during slow motion recording.

During special recording mode, the time code signal will not be output from the TIME CODE terminal,3G/HD-SDI terminal or MON. terminal.
