This mode lets you take movies at a delayed frame rate, so that when
you play the movie at the normal frame rate, the action appears speeded
up. For example, if you choose the ×2 setting, half the normal number of
frames will be taken, so that when you play the movie at the normal
frame rate, the action will appear to be twice as fast as normal.
