Special Recording Modes
Special Recording Modes
The camera features the following special recording modes.
Slow & fast motion recording: This mode allows you to change the shooting frame rate to achieve a slow motion
or fast motion effect during playback. Recording audio in WAV format is also possible.
Pre-recording: The camera will start recording a few seconds before you press the REC button. This is especially
useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.
Frame recording: The camera will record a pre-defined number of frames every time you press the START/STOP
button. This mode is suitable for recording stop motion animation.
Interval recording: The camera will automatically record a pre-defined number of frames at a pre-defined interval.
This mode is suitable for recording subjects with little movement, such as natural surroundings or plants.
Continuous recording: The camera keeps a continuous recording on the SD card in the second slot (MP4 format
only) to avoid any missed shooting opportunities.
Slow & Fast Motion Recording
The camera can record using a progressive frame rate (shooting frame rate) that is different from the playback
frame rate. Recording a clip with a shooting frame rate higher than the [Frame Rate] setting will result in a slow
motion effect during playback. Conversely, a lower shooting frame rate will result in a fast motion effect.
Sound is not recorded with the clip, but it can be recorded separately as a WAV file. The maximum recording
time of a single clip is the equivalent of approximately 6 hours of playback time.
You can also use direct touch control to perform this function (A 49).
