≥When 25P has been selected and the camera is used, the images produced will be 25P segment frame images, so true 25P editing will be possible.

≥In the 25P mode, the shutter is forcibly set to 50% (1/50 sec) to produce more film-like moving images. To release the shutter mode, it is necessary by performing menu

operations to open the <OPTION> screen and select OFF

 

as the P.HALF SHUT item setting.
