Variable Frame Rate
The Panasonic VariCam is the world's first video camera
capable of emulating the "undercranking" and "overcranking"
technique of film cameras to slow down or speed up images.
By varying the frame rate from 4 to 60 fps and adjusting the
shutter speed from 0.8% to 97.2% (3deg to 350deg) of the
frame rate, you can create a wide range of cinematic effects.
And since the VTR section records at a constant 60 fps, you
can edit offline with a conventional DVCPRO HD VTR. This
lets you build a powerful 24p production system without a
huge investment in equipment.
