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.
