Shooting in progressive mode

Selecting 1080/30P and 1080/24P (when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 59.9 Hz) , or 1080/25P (when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 50 Hz) in the REC FORMAT item (Page 80) on the setting menu RECORDING SETUP screen enables shooting in progressive mode.

30P mode (when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 59.9 Hz):

Shoot 30 frames a second in the progressive mode.

For output and recording, the 30-frame-per- second signal is converted to 60-field-per- second interlace.

This mode gives you high quality images.

Note the following when shooting in progressive mode.

Set the shutter speed to 1/50 (OFF) for best results.

There may be a slight delay to the start of recording when you use the 24P mode because 4 frames are recorded at a time. (Only when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 59.9 Hz)
