A7s 120fps not viewable in play mode???

[Nicholas Natteau]

Having just shot a 120fps 720p clip, I was curious as to why it doesn't playing back in slow motion but instead at normal speed.

Is the slow motion result not viewable on the camera? And only in post once you've slowed it down to 20% of normal film speed?
Just asking because on the GH4, I'm able to see the slow motion result immediately when I play back my 96fps 1080p footage.
Or is there an additional A7s slow motion setting (besides the 120fps) I'm not aware of???

Thanks very much in advance for any clarification.

Only thing I've found is a slow playback mode after pausing and then pressing the frame advance option. It doesn't playback at 24p though.....hope it shows up in an update.

Yes, i also found out and was surprised such an option doesn't exist and nobody did commented about it. For me it's an important request for the next firmware update

Unlikely to happen. The GH4's VFR mode is unique in that it conforms the 96fps footage to the current frame rate (24/25/30/etc.) in-camera. The A7s' 120P mode is more akin to the GH4's (and most DSLRs) native 60P mode, where the resulting file's frame rate is as shot. In this mode, the footage is played back in real time only.
