E-3
Variable frame rates (VFR) (continued)
PN mode:
The camera-recorder shoots in the 24 fps native mode. The video signals delivering images at a rate of
24 fps are recorded in 24 frames. The signals are recorded only in the effective frames so recording is
possible for 2.5 times as long.

Before VFR shooting, you must set the recording frame rate and recording format ahead of time.
You cannot change the frame rates while recording.
VFR shooting is possible only in progressive-shooting mode with 720 vertical lines.
You can select any of 20 recording frame rates ranging from 12 frames per second (fps) to 50 (60) fps.
