When editing images using the conventional 24P [2:3] conversion system, the images of different frames are expanded for the [BoCe] [CoDe] [FoGe] [GoHe] frames in the figure, causing the picture quality to further deteriorate. Under the 24P advanced conversion system, images with minimal picture quality deterioration in the 24P mode can be obtained by weeding out the [BoCe] [FoGe] frames in the figure.
Furthermore, when an editing system that supports the advanced conversion system is used, editing can be performed with minimal picture quality deterioration compared with the 24P mode.
OWhen an editing system that supports the advanced conversion system is not going to be used, shoot in the regular 24P mode.
