Flow effect shooting

This way of shooting provides a flow effect and may, for instance, be used to shoot a subject on a far side of a road with a stream of fast-moving cars as the flow, in such a way that the stationary subject comes into focus though the cars.

Set FRAME RATE to a low value suitable for the shooting purpose.

Setting can be performed in the same way for 720P.
