Super Slow-mo tips

Although Super Slow-mo is super advanced, there are still some things you will need to take into consideration when filming slow motion videos.

Check out the following tips to get the best results with Super Slow-mo:

  • Make sure there are no moving objects in the on-screen square (other than the object you're trying to record in Super Slow-mo) because it can trigger Super Slow-mo recording in Auto mode.
  • Avoid recording in flickering or fluorescent light because it can trigger Super Slow-mo recording in Auto mode. It can also make streaks or flashing lines appear in the video playback.
  • Record in an area with sufficient light. We recommend recording under LED lighting or sunlight. Recording in a dark setting will cause noise and may trigger Super Slow-mo recording in Auto mode.
