For ordinary recording, this frame rate is recommended.

50p
You can record movies with a volume of data twice that of 50i with this setting, and this will allow you to enjoy clear images. When you play a movie recorded with this setting on a TV, the TV must be compatible with 50p movie playback and you have to set [HDMI Resolution] to [1080p/576p]. If the TV is not compatible with 50p movie playback, the movie will be output as a 50i movie.

25p*
You can record movies which provide an atmosphere closer to that of film images with this setting. It is recommended that you record movies with this setting using a tripod.

Notes
  • The media that the recorded images can be saved on will depend on the recording mode that has been set during recording.
