Items to be set and what is set
Using the CAMERA MODE item, the operation mode of the
camera to be used for recording is selected.
50i: The unit’s camera is operated in the 50i mode.
25P: The unit’s camera is operated in the 25P mode.
<Notes>
≥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.
However, this should be done carefully since the dynamic
range will be halved in the process.
