Shooting in progressive mode

In 1080i and 480i (576i) mode, this unit can perform progressive shooting when CAMERA MODE of the setting menu is set to 24P, 24PA, or 30P (25P).

When performing progressive shooting, the recording format can be set to native (which uses the camera’s shooting frame rate as is) or standard (which pulls the frame rate down to 59.94 (50)).

Standard recording (pull-down recording)

24P records with 2:3 pulldown and 30P (25P) records with 2:2 pulldown, and both record as 59.94i (50i).

The camera-recorder can also handle video shot in the 24PA mode (2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown).

Note that AVC-Intra does not support pulldown recording.

Native recording

This format extracts and records only effective frames when 1080i mode is used with 24PN or 30PN (25PN) AVC-Intra mode.

Furthermore, native recording format for both DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra is supported with 720P, enabling recording of 2 – 2.5x longer than pull down recording.

Also in native recording, the output of camera- recorder video and playback video is a 59.94 (50) frame rate.

•In 24P/24PA, 24PN (native recording) and in 30PN/25PN (native recording) at 720P, the camera starts recording in 5-frame, 4-frame and 2-frame segments, respectively. For this reason, to continue recording clips in a system mode using a different recording segmentation may break the continuity of the time code.

•The camera uses internal memory for recording, when recording starts as soon as a P2 card is inserted or the camera is powered up. In this situation, recording cannot be stopped until P2 card recognition ends.

To check P2 card status, press the DISP/ MODE CHK button and check the row for SLOT 1 and 2 displayed in the viewfinder or LCD monitor.

•An editing system that supports 24PA (2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown) will enable editing with less quality loss than 24P (2:3 pulldown).

•Record at standard 24P if a 24PA compatible editing system will not be used.
