Phenomenon

Except as provided below, footage recorded in slow motion in Slow & Fast Motion Recording Mode, in 4K and 2K/HD, and at all frame rates, may have skipped frames.

This phenomenon does not occur for slow motion recording at the following settings: 2K/HD recording at 59.94P & 50.00P frame rates.

We are planning to release new firmware that incorporates a fix for this phenomenon in early November.
