Changing the Frame Rate while 
the Camera is Running

Note:  See General Procedure for Changing Frame Rates.

It is possible to switch between the standard frame 
rate (NORM) and the programmed frame rate (PS/
CCU) while the camera is running by means of the 
NORM/PS-switch. Changing the frame rate is a 
mechanical operation, as the rotation speed of the 
mirror shutter has to be increased/decreased. Therefore 
changing the frame rate cannot happen instantly.

If the programmed speed has been set prior to 
changing the standard frame rate (video menu) 
and exceeds the standard frame rate limit:

Switching the camera to PS/CCU in standby causes 

• 

the RUN LED to light up red. The camera will not run.
Switching to PS/

• 

CCU while the camera is 

running causes the RUN LED to turn off. The 
camera will not change its running speed.

Note:  Changing the frame rate with the NORM/PS 

switch while the camera is running creates 
a basic speed ramp. This operation does not 
allow automated exposure compensation.

 

Fine-Tuning the Programmed 
Frame Rate (PS-Mode)

Note:  See General Procedure for Changing Frame Rates.

Fine-tuning of the programmed frame rate can be 
carried out while the camera is running by means of the 
buttons SEL (slower) and SET (faster). The setting can be 
adjusted in increments of 0.001 fps (1.000 to 60.000).

Set the NORM/PS switch to "PS/CCU".

• 

Run the camera.

• 

Press the MODE button once to change to mode 2.

• 

With the buttons SEL (slower) and SET 

• 

(faster) change the frame rate.

Note:  Fine-tuning the programmed frame rate should 

always remain below the set standard frame 
rate to avoid asynchronous operation.
