V1 frame rate

[Joshua]

Hello everyone!

This may be a silly question but here goes. Is it possible to change the frame rate (fps) on a Sony V1P. If so, how?
I was hoping to speed up the fps so I can slow the footage down in post and have it really smooth. Does that make sense? I know the V1 has a slow motion setting but I dont like the idea of it not being as good a quality as the rest of the movie...
Thanks
Josh

Hi Joshua

Thank God someone is using a real name

You can change shutter speed but not frame rate (AFAIK)

If you want really great slomo you need Twixtor

watch You Don't Know Me on that page

You can switch from 25 frames/s, interlaced to 25 frames/s, progressive. The operation manual explains how to do that.

There is no way to shoot faster than 25 frames/s interlaced with the V1P except for smooth slow recording.
