With the “2:3” method, frames [BoCe], [CoDe], [FoGe], and [GoHe] shown in the illustration would be extended over different frames which can cause a drop in picture quality.
With the 24P advanced method, however, frames [BoCe] and [FoGe] are cut out, leading to a reduction in image quality loss.
If you also use a system compatible with the advanced method, editing will also yield better quality images than those shot in the normal 24P mode.
• If you are not going to do your editing on such a system, use the normal 24P method for shooting.
