Recording a High Speed Movie

This camera supports recording of high speed movies at a maximum speed of

1000 fps. The aspect ratio of movies recorded with this mode depends on the frame rate (recording speed).

When shooting with the “HS” movie mode at a frame rate setting of “30-120 fps” or “30-240 fps”, audio is recorded only while the camera is shooting at 30 fps. Audio is not recorded at any other frame rates.

You can switch the frame rate between 30 fps and 120 fps or between 30 fps and 240 fps only while recording is in progress. Audio is recorded only while shooting at a 30 fps. Use [4] and [6] or press [SET] to switch speeds.
