Any Mini-DV or D8 camcorder can be played back in slow-motion

mode using the remote control. It is likely 1/2 normal speed. You can also

play the video frame-by-frame at the speed you hit the button on the

remote for single-frame advance. In bright light, it is likely a high shutter

speed would be used by the camera (if you select "auto-shutter - on"

in the menus).
