# Native variable frame rate recording

Set [1080-59.94P] ([1080-50P]) in the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ].

Set either one of [AVC-I100/30PN] and [AVC-I100/24PN] ([AVC-I100/25PN]) in the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [REC FORMAT].

Set [ON] in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [VFR].

Set the frame rate according to the shooting conditions in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [FRAME RATE].

[FRAME RATE] can be changed using the <SEL/PUSH SET> dial button. For details, refer to “Direct menu operation”.

Press the recording button.

Recording starts in native variable frame rate mode.

#### Frame rate and effect

Quick motion (undercrank) or slow motion (overcrank) effect can be obtained by the following frame rate settings.

[SYSTEM MODE] | Shooting frame rate that can be selected
--- | ---
[LINE&FREQ] | [REC FORMAT]
[1080-59.94P] | [AVC-I100/30PN] | [1fps], [2fps], [4fps], [6fps], [9fps], [12fps], [15fps], [18fps], [20fps], [21fps], [22fps], [24fps], [25fps], [26fps], [27fps], [28fps] | [30fps] | [32fps], [34fps], [36fps], [40fps], [44fps], [48fps], [54fps], [60fps]
[AVC-I100/24PN] | [1fps], [2fps], [4fps], [6fps], [9fps], [12fps], [15fps], [18fps], [20fps], [21fps], [22fps] | [24fps] | [25fps], [26fps], [27fps], [28fps], [30fps], [32fps], [34fps], [36fps], [40fps], [44fps], [48fps], [54fps], [60fps]
[1080-50P] | [AVC-I100/25PN] | [1fps], [2fps], [4fps], [6fps], [9fps], [12fps], [15fps], [18fps], [20fps], [21fps], [22fps], [23fps], [24fps] | [25fps] | [26fps], [27fps], [28fps], [30fps], [32fps], [34fps], [37fps], [42fps], [45fps], [48fps], [50fps]
Effect on playback | Quick motion (Quicker in smaller value) | Standard | Slow motion (Slower in smaller value)
Audio recording | Not available | Available | Not available

NOTE

- During native variable frame rate recording, pre-recording, loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, dual codec recording, and one-clip recording can not be performed.

- Audio cannot be recorded. At this time, no audio is output and is displayed over the audio level meter. When the recording starts, [VFR ON, NO AUDIO RECORDING] is displayed.

- Time code is fixed to recording run.

- The screen may be distorted when changing the frame rate setting.

- Auto iris and auto focus do not function when the frame rate is set to [9fps] or lower, and when the shutter speed is set to less than 1/12. They must be operated manually.

- When the frame rate is set to [9fps] or lower, the shutter setting is forcibly disabled and shutter speed settings cannot be changed.

- Audio can be recorded when the recording format is [AVC-I100/24PN] and the frame rate is [24fps], and when the recording format is [AVC-I100/30PN] ([AVC-I100/25PN]) and the frame rate is [30fps] ([25fps]). In this case, the time code can be set to free run.

  When the frame rate is set to lower than [12fps], the shutter speed is forcibly set to the same time value as the frame rate. Shutter speed setting cannot be changed.
