Selecting the Frame Rate

Selecting the Frame Rate

Selecting the 24p Pulldown Mode

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

60i Mode

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

30p Mode

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

24p Mode

Records in 24 fps progressive mode like movie film cameras, creating a cine-like picture.

24p 2:3 Mode

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

24p 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.

Selecting the Frame Rate

Set the FRAME RATE switch to the desired position.
The selected frame rate appears in the viewfinder.

The frame rate does not change when you operate the FRAME RATE switch during recording. It changes once you pause recording. In 24p mode, the shutter speeds in Low Light mode will be the same as in the Easy Recording mode. Slow shutter speeds are not available.

Selecting the 24p Pulldown Mode

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

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

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

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