Slow motion playback: Does this camera offer slow motion playback?

No, not on the camera itself. However, since the videos can be downloaded to your computer, if you've got software that will do slo-mo you can do it there.

Not sure what the person that says this is a slow camera means. It is as fast as you need it to be, as 10 fps, what more would anybody want.

Hi Brandon, Yes you can get slow motion out of this camera. First is to start with shooting in 24P (Frames Per Second) and to edit in post. Here is a link t o a article that explains it: http://www.studiodaily.com/2005/01/get-film-style-slow-motion-effects-with-the-panasonic-dvx100a/

I have done some research on this, as this was of particular interest to me in purchasing. The instruction manual indicates the slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds. This will give you a bit of "time lapse", but not as much as a DSLR where you can specify the time the shutter is open. You can capture fireworks in about 4 seconds, slow a waterfall down using a 1 second shutter, and create an "action shot" of a moving item at about 1/15th of a second, so I think you have some room to work with on this camera.

The most frames per second this camera allows is 96 and this is only in HD, not in 4k. Most of the other recording modes are limited to 59.97 fps so I would not consider slow motion this camera's strong suit. But yes it does some slowmotion and it might be enough for your needs :) You can check an example of it's slowmo abilities here : https://vimeo.com/91880562

P.S. I forgot, I think it will allow pausing while recording.... but have not tried it myself.

My earlier answer was erroneous. After reading the Charles Lohr reply I confirmed that in fact during playback you can adjust playback speed using the plus & minus buttons after pressing the OK button a second time (the first time starts playback). It seems to retain the last playback speed selection even after shutting down.

No. Although the camera is very capable at low lights, its capability is limited to slow moving subjects because the camera's sutter speed slows down to compensate with low lights.

I believe it does. I don't have the option enabled, but I saw it in the menu when I was doing the setup. Right now I have it set to just record when it detects motion.

Yes, but... In move mode mirror is lifted up. If you press photo capture button, camera will lower mirror, adjust focus and exposure, lift up mirror back and finally capture image...then will continue roll your movie. It will make about 1-2 second gap in move sequence (kind of disappointing). You dont have to switch modes.

Hi Kenny, continuous playback is possible but is dependent on the battery life of the camera. -Vincent

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

It cannot record in slow motion, since it has only 24p and 60i modes. However, by deinterlacing 60i footage with some very good deinterlacer and obtaining 60p video, you may get 2.5x slow-motion when transferring to 24p footage. I've got some very nice slow-motion clips by using such procedure.If you wanted to ask if the camcorder has time-lapse feature: yes, it has. The quality is slightly lower than when taking ordinary 24p or 60i clips.By the way, note that sharpness in 60i is better than in 24p mode (surprisingly).

Nah, it doesn't. but it can record for a really long time on its little battery and then you can speed up your footage? maybe the better tradeoff is the cool little slow-mo it does. its only really a 10 second slow-mo. but the slow-mo is silky smooth. sooo... I mean I really like the camera.but yeah, no time lapse.

Yes it does. However, I have noticed some latency (almost like online buffering) when using it even with locally stored videos.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

Hello... This particular camera does not automatically follow and focus on motion detected objects. There are cameras on the market that do, but those are very spendy.
