Adjustments and Settings for Recording Multi Format Video system and Recording format The unit employs a progressive scan (full pixel reading) CCD system. With combinations of the SYSTEM MODE and CAMERA MODE menu options on the screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page, you can select an video system from among 23 types. In any video system, the CCD operates in progressive (non-interlace) scan mode. Selecting a recording signal and method SYSTEM MODE menu option Allows you to select a combination of system frequency (59.94 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 23.98 Hz and 24 Hz) and signaling system (1080i or 720P). When a change has been made to the SYSTEM MODE option, the viewfinder indicates "TURN POWER OFF". Then, turn the POWER switch of the unit off and wait 5 seconds or longer before turning the unit on again. CAMERA MODE menu option Selecting a shooting mode when the signal format is 1080i. For information about the behavior for each setting, see [Recording formats and output connector signal formats] (page 47). Note When the camera has been switched from 60i, 60P, or 30P to 24P or 24PA, video may produce noise for a moment because the pull-down 5-frame cycle is adjusted. This is not an abnormal condition. VFR menu option When the signal format is 720P, you can select whether to perform VFR recording. ON OFF Enables variable frame rate shooting at the frame rate set in FRAME RATE. The frame rate is determined according to the REC FORMAT setting. FRAME RATE menu option When the VFR menu option is set to "ON", it is possible to shoot using the frame rate set in this menu option. When the VFR menu option is set to "ON", pressing the jog dial button displays the frame rate on the upper left of the viewfinder screen as a blinking number. It is then possible to change the frame rate setting without opening the FRAME RATE menu option by pressing the SYNCHRO SCAN adjustment buttons (+/-). Note, however, that this operation is not available when the FRATE function has been set to on using a user button.
