O When “THIN” or “MID” has been selected
as the item’s setting and the images shot
in the progressive mode are played back
using a standard TV monitor (60i:
interlace), some flickering will occur on
the horizontal lines and on the diagonal
lines near the horizontal.
When playing back a tape in a
progressive environment, this flickering
is reduced by selecting “THIN” or “MID”
as the item’s setting, which will also
enable images with a higher resolution
than that with the “THICK” setting to be
obtained.
The underlining indicates the factory setting.
