Shooting in progressive mode
Selecting 1080/30P or 1080/24P for the REC
FORMAT option in the setting menu RECORD
SETUP screen (Page 102) enables shooting in
progressive mode.
In 720 mode, the camera always shoots in
progressive mode.
30P mode (with 1080 mode):
Shoot 30 frames a second in the progressive
mode.
For output and recording, the 30-frame-per-
second signal is converted to 60-field-per-second
interlace.
This mode gives you high quality images.

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.
