The progressive scan mode can be used when you want to look at a video, scene by scene, free from field slippage (the "blurring" that normally occurs when you pause a video). During playback, pause the video any time you 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.
