Select FPS Function
Select FPS allows you to obtain smooth motion
effects without skipped frames by adjusting the
number of frames to be shot. Changing the
Relation Between the Number of Frames Shot and the Number of
Playback Frames (Outline of Select FPS)
To obtain the desired slow or quick motion effects using the Select FPS function, it is necessary to set the
appropriate number of frames to shoot.
If you shoot with the number of frames shot set to 50 FPS, the camera module generates 50 frames (50
FPS) while the data is transferred from the camera module to the VTR module at 60P. As a result,
transferred data is padded with frames (ineffective frames) in which no signal is recorded. This unit
extracts and stores only effective frames and records them onto tape. When the tape is played back at 24P,
a slow motion effect of 0.48 times normal playback speed is obtained.
The following figure illustrates the operation described above.
number of frames to extract during recording
provides motion effects with variable speeds
(Ramp function).
The number of frames recorded in one second is
displayed in units of FPS (frames per second).
It can be set at steps of 1 FPS within the following
range.
For 4:2:2 formats: 1 to 50 FPS
For 4:4:4 formats: 1 to 50 FPS
For details on the Ramp function, see "Using the
Ramp Function" (page 111).
