Method and system for recording a super slow motion video in a portable electronic device

A method performed by an electronic device for generating a slow motion video, the method comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of image frames captured at a predetermined frame rate from at least one camera of the electronic device;
• detecting motion information in at least one first image frame from among the plurality of image frames;
• performing an interpolation operation using a first set of image frames and a second set of image frames;
• and
• discarding at least one image frame which is not used in the interpolation operation performed based on the obtained plurality of image frames captured at the predetermined frame rate,
• wherein the first set of image frames include image frames within a certain time or within a certain number of frames preceding the at least one first image frame in which the motion information is detected, and
• wherein the second set of image frames include image frames within a certain time or within a certain number of frames following the at least one first image frame in which the motion information is detected.
