Shooting in progressive mode
• In 24P/24PA, 24PN (native recording) and in
30PN/25PN (native recording) at 720P, the
camera starts recording in 5-frame, 4-frame
and 2-frame segments, respectively. For
this reason, to continue recording clips in
a system mode using a different recording
segmentation may break the continuity of
the time code.
• The camera uses internal memory for
recording, when recording starts as soon
as a P2 card is inserted or the camera is
powered up. In this situation, recording
cannot be stopped until P2 card recognition
ends.
To check P2 card status, press the DISP/
MODE CHK button and check the row for
SLOT 1 and 2 displayed in the viewfinder or
LCD monitor.
• An editing system that supports 24PA
(2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown) will enable
editing with less quality loss than 24P (2:3
pulldown).
• Record at standard 24P if a 24PA
compatible editing system will not be used.
In 1080i and 480i (576i) mode, this unit can
perform progressive shooting when CAMERA
MODE of the setting menu is set to 24P, 24PA, or
30P (25P).
When performing progressive shooting, the
recording format can be set to native (which uses
the camera’s shooting frame rate as is) or standard
(which pulls the frame rate down to 59.94 (50)).
Standard recording
(pull-down recording)
24P records with 2:3 pulldown and 30P (25P)
records with 2:2 pulldown, and both record as
59.94i (50i).
The camera-recorder can also handle video shot in
the 24PA mode (2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown).
Note that AVC-Intra does not support pulldown
recording.

Native recording
This format extracts and records only effective
frames when 1080i mode is used with 24PN or
30PN (25PN) AVC-Intra mode.
Furthermore, native recording format for both
DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra is supported with
720P, enabling recording of 2 – 2.5x longer than
pull down recording.
Also in native recording, the output of camera-
recorder video and playback video is a 59.94 (50)
frame rate.
