Note on the progressive recording mode
In a normal TV broadcast, the screen is divided into 2
finer fields and these are displayed in turn, every 1/60
of a second. Thus, the actual picture displayed in an
instant covers only half of the apparent picture area. In
progressive recording, the picture is fully displayed
with all the pixels. A picture recorded in this mode
appears clearer, but a moving subject may appear
awkward.
b Note
• When recording in the progressive recording mode
under fluorescent light or a light bulb, the screen
may flicker. This is not a malfunction.
• You cannot use the Progressive recording mode
together with [16:9 WIDE] mode.
