The frame mode can be used when you wish to look at a video, scene by scene, free from field
slippage (the “flicker” that normally occurs when you pause a video). The vertical resolution of the
image is improved by 1.5×. During playback, pause the video at any time if you would like to view a
crystal clear still image in the display or on a connected TV screen. It is also possible to transfer your
favorite still pictures to a PC for image enhancement and print out.
Since the frame rate is close to that of a movie, this mode can be used to create “cinematic-like
appearance.”
1. Slide the program selector to Q (program AE) mode.
2. Open the menu and select CAM. SET UP.

Notes:
