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.
