To determine which shooting mode is best to shoot with, it is critical

to understand what type of medium, or destination format, the  nal

product will be broadcasted to.

24p: This shooting mode is typically best for shooting cinematic

projects as this frame rate is the same as motion picture  lm (24fps)

and therefore tends to look visually more like footage shot on a  lm

camera, and can be transferred to actual  lm via scan recording for

 nal projection.

25p and 50i: These shooting modes capture in PAL and SECAM

formats to provide for potential international distribution.

30p: This frame rate records more frames per second then 24p

allowing motion to appear smoother especially when aggressive

camera movements are used. The 30p format would be ideal for

newsgathering, as the progressive frames can be used for print

applications or transmission via television or the internet.

60p: High frame rate shooting modes such as these allow for greater,

crisper detail for fast action subjects, such as sports photography.

The 60p mode displays high speed progressive imagery for some

broadcast formats, as well as providing smooth slow motion video

when conformed to 24fps, which is a fairly common practice.

60i: Provides the bene ts of 30 fps shooting for fast action subjects as

well as providing a path to broadcast interlaced formats. Canon has

minimized the visible skew that can occur in other CMOS camcorders

when shooting fast moving subjects in this mode.
