3.3.

Selecting the Frame Rate

Images can be recorded with the system from 50 fps to 1,080 fps (750 fps for WX50) using the full

2,048x2,048 pixel resolution of the image sensor. For frame rates higher than 1,080 fps (750 fps for

WX50), high-speed recording is achieved by limiting the read area of the image sensor.

•

Please refer to “3.3 Setting and Registering the Frame Rate/Resolution” of “Photron FASTCAM

Viewer User’s Manual” for the details of the setup.

•

Even if a limited horizontal resolution is applied, Frame Rate cannot be increased. This

specification is different from other systems. Please refer to “5.1.5. Frame Rate and Resolution”,

page 69 for available frame rate.
