When shooting in progressive mode, be
careful about the followings.
• We recommend that you set shutter speed to
1/50 (OFF).
• When shooting in 24P mode of 1080 mode,
because recording is performed in 4-frame
units, recording may start a little late.
• When shooting in 24P mode of 480 mode,
recording is performed in 5-frame units.
