Slow-motion videos
To record slow-motion videos, select [1920×1080; 30p ×4 (slow-motion)], [1920×1080; 25p ×4 (slow-motion)], or [1920×1080; 24p ×5 (slow-motion)] for [Frame size/frame rate] in the video recording menu.
- In the case of [1920×1080; 30p ×4 (slow-motion)], images read out at a frame rate of 120p are recorded as a 30p video. A video recorded for about 10 seconds will be played back for about 40 seconds. You can see momentary actions in slow motion, such as the impact of a ball in sports.
- Sound is not recorded.
- Custom Setting g10 [Extended shutter speeds (S/M)] is disabled.
- The frame rates when images are read out and when videos are recorded and played back are as follows.
Frame size/frame rate Frame rate when reading images* Frame rate when recording and playing back videos* 1920×1080; 30p ×4 (slow-motion) 120p 30p 1920×1080; 25p ×4 (slow-motion) 100p 25p 1920×1080; 24p ×5 (slow-motion) 120p 24p - 120p: 119.88 fps, 100p: 100 fps, 30p: 29.97 fps, 25p: 25 fps, 24p: 23.976 fps
- The maximum recording time is about three minutes.
Cautions: Recording slow-motion videos
- Features that cannot be used during slow-motion video recording include:
- video flicker reduction,
- electronic VR,
- time code output, and
- Hi-Res Zoom.
- When recording via HDMI output to an external recorder, video will be recorded at original speed, not in slow motion.
