Hey everyone,
I'm trying to understand the iPad's 2's slow-mo feature a bit better.
I see that it shoots at 120FPS from apple's website:

Does anybody know what rate it plays the videos back at? I'm trying to calculate how much it slows the video down so if you know that, that would also be helpful.
Thanks,
Joseph

From the User Guide. Normal is 30 FPS, slo-mo is 120 FPS so I'd guess it's quarter speed.
“Shoot video
With Camera you can shoot video, including slow-motion and time-lapse videos.
Record a video. Choose Video, then tap the Record button, or press either volume button, to start and stop recording. You can choose to capture 720p or 1080p video at 30 fps (frames persecond). On iPad Pro (9.7-inch) you can also capture 1080p video at 60 fps and 4K video at 30 fps. To change video recording settings, go to Settings > Photos & Camera > Record Video.
Take it slow. (iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4) Choose Slo-mo to capture slow-motion video at 120 fps. Later, when you edit the video, you can set just a portion of it to play back in slow motion, and the rest plays back at regular speed. On iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you can choose between 120 fps and 240 fps. To change Slo-mo settings, go to Settings > Photos & Camera > Record Slo-mo.”

You're welcome. Why not record a one minute video and play it back at normal speed to see how long it takes ?
My guess was 30 FPS but I couldn't find anything to back it up, so thanks for the link It certainly makes it very likely that it'll be 30.
I'd like to zero in on a definite figure if possible. So if anyone has any further proof I'd love to see it!
Or even better, does anyone know a way to find out what frame rate it's playing video at as it's doing it?
How much does slow mo slow down video?
