Cranking?
 

Hi

Does anybody know if It is possible to change the framerate during a recording with this camera. I mean during normal recording with 24 frames/sec and with the special button change to under or over crank. With the Ex1 i have to have a separate clip with slo mo footage. Would be nice to be able to change it during the clip.

Cheers!

Ari

You definitely cannot do that with this camera or any of the XDCAMs.
Would be nice, though.

Varicam and Epic level cameras do this, but not at the budget end. It's a case of planning your sequence and using the time ramping features in your NLE to segue between 'real' and 'slomo'. Much as I hate to say 'fix it in post'...

IIRC, there's a number of tutes demonstrating 60fps material taken to quasi 120fps in a 24fps timeline, including time remapping. To get that at 1080p is going to be pretty amazing.
