Variable Frame Rec
Shooting in this mode allows you to obtain smooth
slow motion or quick motion videos.
Using different frame rate settings for recording
and playback, videos captured at normal speed
can be played back more smoothly than those in
low or high speed playback.
To enable Variable Frame Rec, the following two
settings are required at the same time.
