EOS R5 Mark II How to record at 60fps and play back at 30fps

[mthiessen]

On the R5C there is "Slow & Fast" mode which allows me to shoot at 60fps and playback on the camera at 30 fps. I can see the desired slow motion effect on the camera back without loading it into the computer. 

Does the R5 Mk II have a similar feature? I can't seem to find it. 

Thanks in advance

mthiessen,

If you go to your manual and look in the Table of Contents under Playback, look for a heading under Movie Playback. It explains how to do a slow motion Playback. Here's a site from Canon explaining the Playback settings:

If you haven't dome so yet, I'd encourage you to download a copy of your manual in pdf format. It will allow you to search for specific items using the search function in things like Adobe Acrobat.

I should have mentioned in my original post that I looked at that page but it doesn’t help me. I need to try different frame rates to see what frame rate gives me the look I want. The slider in the corner on playback doesn’t show how much it’s slowing down the image. I can’t tell if it’s slowing it down further than what I shot the video at. There is no explanation as to what each hash mark in the slo motion slider does. It would see it me it would be easy to have a menu item for the fps you want to playback and video that is different than the speed the video was shot.

Mthiessen,

If your camera won't do it, there are plenty of video editing programs out there ( a lot of them are free), some where you upload your video and choose the playback speed you want, and some where you download a program to your computer, and select the playback speed you want (many of them are also free).

Just do a Google search for video editors playback speed

Yes I know. But I want to review it in the camera so I can choose the proper frame rate for the subject I’m shooting without going back and forth to then computer. This shouldn’t be this hard.

Admittedly, I don't have an R5 Mark II.  I have an R5 C and Cinema OS is different.

This is my understanding of the feature / support on the R5 MarkII.  When you're playing back a movie recorded in high frame rate, you can use the quick control dial to slow down or speed up the clips playback speed.  This does not adjust the frame rate.  That is fixed.  Playback is 29.97 in NTSC . 

From the manual:

When [High Frame Rate: Enable] setting, no audio is recorded and the movie is played in slow motion at 29.97 fps (NTSC) /25.00 fps (PAL) when played back.

The QC dial adjusts review speed.  You are not changing the playback frame rate.  You are slowing down or speeding up the playback review speed.   😀
