Selecting the 24F Pulldown Mode

Selecting the Frame Rate

You can select from the following frame rates depending on the recording mode:

	60i, 30F, 24F (2:3 pulldown-converted)
	60i, 30F, 24F (2:3 pulldown-converted or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted)

Select from standard 60i, 30F or 24F mode. Furthermore, images captured in 24F mode can be 2:3 pulldown-converted or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted in SD mode.

60i Mode

Records in 60 fps interlace mode, same as TV signals.

30F Mode

Records in 30 fps progressive mode and outputs signals converted into 60 fps interlace.

24F Mode

Records in 24 fps progressive mode. During playback the signals are down-converted to 60 fps interlaced using the 2:3 pulldown method. While recording, if the HDV/DV terminal is set to HDV output, the output signal will be in 24 fps progressive. The signal output from the HD/SD SDI terminal and the COMPONENT OUT (D-) terminal will be down-converted to 60 fps using the 2:3 pulldown method.

Records in 24 fps progressive mode like movie cameras, creating a true cinematic feel to the picture.

24F 2:3 Mode

Signals are converted into 60 fps interlace using the 2:3 pulldown method. This 24F mode is suited for playback on a TV screen.

24F 2:3:3:2 Mode

Signals are converted into 60 fps interlace using the 2:3:3:2 pulldown method. This 24p mode is ideal for extracting true 24 frames per second in order to transfer to film.

The selected frame rate appears in the viewfinder.

Selecting the 24F Pulldown Mode

Open the menu and select [CAMERA SETUP]. Select [24F MODE SEL], select a setting option and close the menu.

• When you have selected [2:3], "24F" appears in white.

• When you have selected [2:3:3:2], "24F" appears in orange.

• If you are using an editing system not supporting the 2:3:3:2 pulldown method, make sure to record in 24F 2:3 pulldown mode.
