Panasonic AG-DVX100BP User Manual

You can change the progressive mode in the setup 
menu, SCENE FILE screen, PROGRESSIVE 
(Page 70).

Shoot 30 frames a second in the progressive 
mode.
For output and recording, the 30-frame-per-
second signal is converted to 60-field-per-
second interlace.
This mode gives you high quality images.

Shoot 24 frames a second in the progressive 
mode.
For output and recording, the 24-frame-per-
second signal is converted to 60-field-per-
second interlace using the widely used “2:3” 
ratio.
This gives you images similar to a movie shot 
with film.

Shoot 24 frames a second in the progressive 
mode.
For output and recording, the 24-frame-per-
second signal is converted to 60-field-per-
second interlace using “advanced” conversion.

With the “2:3” method, frames [BoCe], [CoDe], 
[FoGe], and [GoHe] shown in the illustration would 
be extended over different frames which can cause 
a drop in picture quality.
With the 24P advanced method, however, frames 
[BoCe] and [FoGe] are cut out, leading to a 
reduction in image quality loss.
If you also use a system compatible with the 
advanced method, editing will also yield better 
quality images than those shot in the normal 24P 
mode.

• If you are not going to do your editing on such a 

system, use the normal 24P method for shooting.

• You cannot have a gain of 18dB.
• The synchronization signal will be disrupted for a 

moment when you switch to progressive mode.

• Set the shutter speed to 1/50 (OFF) or 1/60 for 

best results.

• There may be a slight delay to the start of 

recording when you use the 24P or 24P 
advanced modes because 5 frames are recorded 
at a time. The shortest possible recording time is 
three seconds.
