Using VFR Recording Function

Standard speed for film production (only when SYSTEM MODE is set to 720-59.94P, 1080-59.94i)

Screen production normally requires a 24 fps (24 frames per second) frame rate (normal speed) for screening a film. Making the settings described below will provide film-quality playback. The 720P progressive mode and cine-like gamma will make video look like it was shot with a film camera.
