Re: slo-mo on 320

Be sure that you are in the 720p mode first, in order to shoot 60fps.
Will not work if you in 1920x1080 mode.

Re: slo-mo on 320

In the 'Operation' menu ('OP'), go to 'rec function', then choose 'slow & quick'. This should be highlighted if the camera is set to 25p (or 30p in your case). S&Q motion does not work in interlaced mode, only in progressive. It does work, however in both 720 and 1080.

Re: slo-mo on 320

Q & S motion is only supported when using SxS cards. You're not using an SDHC adapter with SDHC cards, by any chance? You can also check if the camera is not set to HQ1440 instead of HD 1920. Q&S do not work in 1440 mode.

Re: slo-mo on 320

Hi Luc

Yes iam using sxs cards and the camera is set to HD 1920 and i have unpluged nano and still the Rec function menu is blacked out, But i do know that cache record works as i have this assingned to one of my assign swiches which also on the Rec Function menu, Something must be set in the menu that stops it from showing the rec function or the camera is faulty but it has worked before HELP

Re: slo-mo on 320

Save your camera setup on a SxS card then do a factory reset on the camera. See if that makes the option available.

If so reload the setup file from the SxS card and see if you still have access to it. If not you know it is a setting and not a broken camera.

Re: slo-mo on 320

Thanks for the help I have sorted it now I canceled all my assign buttons and tried it again and the rec function is now operational so it must be something i had set to a assign switch

Thanks again
Ian

Re: slo-mo on 320

Well, it's certainly not the cache function, because I can switch that off and on and the 'slow & quick rec' stays highlighted in both cases.
