Normal speed shooting for commercials/drama production
With productions intended for screening on TV screen such as HDTV/SDTV broadcasts, a 30 fps (30 frames/second) or 25 fps (25 frames/second)
frame rate is regularly used (i.e. 1x speed). The same playback as a broadcasting station can be achieved by setting as follows. Commercials and
music videos can be recorded as film like video and, moreover, at number of frames/second ideal for TV broadcasts.

Undercrank shooting
This is a quick motion effect that can be applied to scenes showing the flow of clouds, people standing in the middle of crowds, and kung fu, etc. For
example, when shooting in recording format 24P for specifying the playback frame, a 2x speed quick motion effect can be obtained by setting the
variable frame rate to 12 fps.
