Slow-motion videos

To record slow-motion videos, select [1920×1080; 29.97p ×4 (slow-motion)], [1920×1080; 25p ×4 (slow-motion)], or [1920×1080; 23.976p ×5 (slow-motion)] for [Frame size/frame rate] in the video recording menu.

  • In the case of [1920×1080; 25p ×4 (slow-motion)], images read out at a frame rate of 100p are recorded as a 25p 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 g12 [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.

  • 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.

Bit rate

Bit rates vary with the settings chosen for [Video file type] in the video recording menu.

  • In the case of [N-RAW 12-bit (NEV)], the bit rate varies with the option selected for [Video quality (N-RAW)] in the video recording menu.
  • ProRes RAW HQ 12-bit and ProRes 422 HQ 10-bit data specifications are available from the Apple website.
