Shooting in progressive mode

Selecting 1080/25P (or 1080/30P and 1080/24P when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 59.9 Hz) in the REC FORMAT option (Page 91) of the setting menu RECORDING SETUP screen enables shooting in progressive mode.

25P mode (when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 50 Hz): Shoot 25 frames a second in the progressive mode.

For output and recording, the 25-frame-per- second signal is converted to 50-field-per- second interlace.

This mode gives you high quality images.

Note the following when shooting in progressive mode.

•You cannot have a gain of 18 dB.

•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)
