Recording movies fit for breaking
into still images
– Progressive
recording mode (DCR-HC85)
This feature is useful for movies you intend
to import to your computer to produce still
images.
You can record pictures with less blurring than
recording in the normal mode, producing
pictures suitable for analyzing high-speed
action such as sports. To enjoy as a movie, it is
better to record the picture in the normal mode,
since the image is recorded only every 1/30 of a
second in the progressive recording mode.
