Recording with all the pixels

– Progressive Recording Mode

To import moving pictures to your computer to view still images, we recommend you record in Progressive Recording Mode. To use Progressive Recording Mode, follow the procedure below. Still images produced this way are more stable than those recorded on a tape in normal mode, and thus are more suitable for analyzing high-speed action such as sports scenes. (Since your camcorder takes in an image every 1/30 of a second in Progressive Recording Mode, moving pictures recorded in this mode may be subject to too much jitter. To view moving pictures, we recommend recording in normal mode.)

Note on the Progressive Recording Mode

 

 

The normal TV broadcast divides the screen into two finer fields and displays them in

 

turns every 1/60 of a second. Thus, the actual image displayed in an instant covers only

 

half of the apparent image area. Displaying the whole image simultaneously on a full

 

screen is called displaying with all the pixels. In this function the picture is clearer than

 

one in normal function, but moving objects appear jerky since the picture is read/

 

output every about 1/30 second.

 

 

When recording under fluorescent light

 

 

When recording in the Progressive Recording Mode under fluorescent light or light

 

bulb, a rare phenomenon may happen in which the screen lights up brightly (Flicker

 

phenomenon). This is not a malfunction. If you want to stop this phenomenon, cancel

 

the Progressive Recording Mode.
