1080/480 24p Advance Mode

When recording in 1080/24p or 480/24p at 60 Hz, the AG-HPX502 lets you select 24pA (Advance) mode. In this mode, it performs 60i conversion using 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which maintains higher image quality than ordinary 24p (2:3 pulldown) in nonlinear editing*. In 30p and 25p recording (at 50 Hz), the AG-HPX502 uses 2:2 pulldown.

Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter

Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to create a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action.

The AG-HPX502 also features a synchro scan function for capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.

Scene File Dial

Set this dial for a set of shooting conditions, and later you can instantly retrieve the settings when needed. Six preset files are provided, and you can change any of the six file names and their settings as desired. You can also transfer the setting files to an SD Memory Card for loading into another AG-HPX502 so the cameras will match.
