Undercrank Shooting

This way of shooting provides the quick motion effects used, for instance to realize speeding clouds, a person standing stationary in the blur of a moving crowd, and kung-fu moves. For example, when the scenes have been shot using the 24P recording format for specifying playback frames, the speed of the quick motion effects can be doubled by setting the VFR recording frame rate to 12 fps.

When REC FORMAT is set to “DVCPROHD/60P” or “DVCPROHD/50P”, the quick motion effects can be obtained by using a nonlinear editing system to process what has been recorded.

Overcrank shooting

This way of shooting provides slow motion effects used in car chases, action scenes, climactic scenes and other dramatic moments. For example, when scenes have been shot using the 30P recording format for specifying the playback frames, the speed of the slow motion effects can be halved by setting the recording frame rate to 60 fps. Images in the 720P progressive format will create smooth slow motion sequences with a high picture quality.
