Shooting in progressive mode
Select [REC FORMAT] → [PH1080/30P]
or [PH1080/24P] (or [PH1080/25P]) in the
[RECORDING SETUP] setup menu to enable
shooting in progressive mode. (Page 86)
30P mode:
(When [SYSTEM FREQ] is set to [59.9Hz])
Shoot 30 frames a second in the progressive
mode. For output and recording, the 30-frame-
per-second video signal is converted to a
60-field-per-second interlace.
This mode gives you high quality images.

Note the following when shooting in
progressive mode.
• Set the shutter speed to 1/50 for best results.
• There may be a slight delay to the start
of recording when you use the 24P mode
because 4 frames are recorded at a time.
