Hello All -
this is a really basic question, so if there is a good/easy resource - can you please just send me the link and I will go and read etc?
I have a new sony rx100 II. Yay!
From user guide:
When you create AVCHD discs from movies recorded in [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)], [60i 24M(FX)]/[50i 24M(FX)] or [24p 24M(FX)]/[25p 24M(FX)], it will take time as the image quality must be converted. To save [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)], [60i 24M(FX)]/[50i 24M(FX)] or [24p 24M(FX)]/[25p 24M(FX)]movies without converting the image quality, use Blu-ray discs.
In the record setting on the menu of the camera:
60i 24M(FX)
60i 17M(FH)
60p 28M(PS)
24p 24M(FX)
24p 17M(FH)
I understand (i think!) the basics of interlaced vs progressive...
Background - at the moment, i am mainly shooting wierd little clips i see and family stuff - not yet into serious film/video making..
So, some questions:
- what do the above acronyms/nomenclature mean?
- when would i shoot interlaced vs progressive?
- when would I use the above settings over the other for any reason? Is there a setting I would just leave it on 95% of the time? Does the answer depend I guess on what media I want to put the video onto in the future? If it just stays on the computer and I stream/watch via say apple TV I guess that bit doesn't matter.
- at some point, I'll be back in Australia where PAL is used. Does this sway the answer at all?
Or is it simply - shoot in 24p (one of them above - what is 24m vs 17m?) - and worry about it later??:)
Thanks for any help/answers.
Brett
