slow motion videos require much stronger lighting than regular shots because of very fast shutter speed. also from what I read, XZ Premium records 960 fps slow-mo videos in 720p, which, while isn't really "very bad", can differ noticeably from videos shot in 1080p or 4K.

yes just like @najodleglejszy said,. Lighting is the key...!

Outside lighting is the best, electrical lighting tends to pulse as the fps is faster than the electrical pulse.

as said above, the super slowmo mode requires very good lighting conditions in order to look decent. nothing can be done about it.

@MarcoA1979there's no issue, the super slowmo mode simply requires very good lighting conditions because of fast shutter speeds used.

Seems fine to me but you really do need to use proper sunlit lighting, as shown here

Thanks for your answer @najodleglejsz but can you telo me if, in good conditions of light, the quality of slow_motion is same or lower than the normal camera? Mine is less performing, even if in good light conditions!!!!

Hi @Final2009100;

As @najodleglejszy said there is no problem, Super Slow Motion needs good light to work and even with good light it saves at 720p so its natural that the quality it's not as good as 1080p or 4K recording.

So that is normal i don't have any problem right

Yes that is normal.

This 960fps produces laughable results in every other that perfect lighting conditions. In perfect sun lightning still it will look regular at its best especially on big 65" screen (in terms of quality because slowness effect is very good).

The quality wise it looks so crappy in most of the conditions due to prehistoric 720p low-res combined with abnormal zoom and noise which makes results even worse and shaky if you capture it from hand.

4K is much better.

For the time being I recommend to avoid 720p mode to avoid disappointment. XZ Premium seems to cone with half-baked beta solution, hopefully we will see 960/1000fps mode in 1080p soon at MWC in Barcelona without this abnormal zoom and noise issues. The point is it should be implemented like this from the very beginning.
