When the movie format is set to MP4, you can record scenes that have a slow motion or fast motion effect during playback. You simply select the slow motion or fast motion rate you are trying to achieve (x0.5 to x1200 the normal speed) and then record. Sound is not recorded for such scenes.
Slide the POWER switch of the video camera to [CAMERA].

Caution
During slow & fast motion recording mode, the running mode of the time code is set to [Rec Run] or [Regen.] and the time code will advance by the number of frames recorded. If you activate slow & fast motion recording mode while the running mode is set to [Free Run], the running mode will automatically change to [Rec Run]. When you end slow & fast motion recording mode, the running mode will return to its previous setting.
For low shooting frame rates, it may take approximately 1 second to stop recording.
The amount of video that can be recorded at one time is approximately 12 hours' worth of video at normal playback speed. When that amount is exceeded, the camcorder will automatically stop recording. However, when you use slow & fast motion recording, the recording time will change. For example, when the frame rate is set to 25.00P and you select 50.00P for the shooting frame rate, the recording time will be 6 hours (playback time will be 12 hours).
