Shooting in progressive mode

Selecting 1080/30P or 1080/24P for the REC FORMAT option in the setting menu RECORD SETUP screen (Page 102) enables shooting in progressive mode.

In 720 mode, the camera always shoots in progressive mode.

30P mode (with 1080 mode):

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.

•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.

The video signal will be recorded natively. However, the external output signal is converted to a 2:3 format, 60 fps interlaced signal.
