Designed as a high quality production camera, this native 720p
camcorder can be used for 60 fps or the film-like 24 fps acquisition. Individual frame rates may be selected
from 4 to 60 fps in single frame increments and may be changed during
recording. When
acquiring for 24 fps projects, higher than 24 fps operation can be processed for
slow motion effects while slower than 24 fps operation can be processed to speed
up motion. Additionally, the variable frame rates and related variable shutter
speeds can be used to create some very interesting effects.

The VariCam has the
capability to emulate film's gradual transfer function performance (i.e. Cinema
Gamma). This function greatly increases the camera's usable dynamic range,
especially in traditionally limiting areas such as highlight handling, which
until now has been a serious limitation for most HD cameras. Cine Gamma provides the
user with a much closer approximation of film's renowned ability to maintain
smooth image tonality while gently compressing extreme highlights.
Cinematographers are able through the Cine Gamma feature to control the camera's
gamma transfer function to best optimize control over tonality from extreme
highlights to the lowest of shadow areas.
