24p Cinema Mode, 30p Progressive Mode | Canon HV30 specification

24p Cinema Mode

24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional “ﬁlm-look.” You can change the camcorder’s frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie ﬁlm. In addition, you can use the VIXIA HV30’s CINE setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added ﬂexibility, these settings can be used together or independently.

30p Progressive Mode

This is a unique feature that only Canon offers in the consumer camcorder market. You would otherwise have to look to professional video cameras in order to have this sophisticated tool at your command. In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the VIXIA HV30 to capture video in 30p which is (30 progressive frames) particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet. In addition, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording. Excellent for action shots and sports.
