50i
This is an ordinary setting for recording.

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.
