V DETAIL FREQ
(Camera)
For setting the detail in the vertical direction
when shooting in the progressive mode.
THIN :
The detail is made finer.
THICK :
The detail is made coarser.
OWhen “THIN” has been selected as the
item’s setting and the images shot in the
progressive mode are played back using
a standard TV monitor (60i: interlace),
some flickering will occur on the
horizontal lines and on the diagonal lines
near the horizontal.
When playing back a tape in a
progressive environment, this flickering
is reduced by selecting “THIN” as the
item’s setting, which will also enable
images with a higher resolution than that
with the “THICK” setting to be obtained.
