High-speed movies are recorded at a reduced frame size with no sound. Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values in effect at the start of recording. Movies shot under low light may be underexposed due to the high recording speeds; we recommend shooting outdoors in daylight or in other brightly-lit locations. If desired, high-speed movies can also be viewed in slow-motion on a computer.
