24 frame Cinematic mode: Is the 24 frame Cinematic mode exaggerated?
252037
I personally don't use the 24p mode in my movies. It won't add anything unless you REALLY want to have a film look to your video. But, I would still recommend this camera if you're looking into it, as the cinema mode won't detract from the experience.

I have done exactly that and it seems to work well at 4K, although I'm using it primarily as a monitor, not to watch TV. So I don't know about the frame rate.

You can preview the program in full screen I'm not sure though if its 30 or 60 fps. There's very minimal lag time for the preview so you shouldn't have any problems with that, although I'm sure it depends on your computer. I haven't had any problems with the delay of input in the preview.

Sometimes in low light it seems to be too long. It depends on the setting and if the lighting is appropriate for the setting you choose. There is a high speed burst feature that lets you take high speed single photos, like a movie only freeze frame that is really fast. Overall, I'd say once you are familiar with the settings and features its pretty quick. It does take some playing with it to get used to all the options.

I wouldn't go no more than 25yards, anything more it will not be accurate. That's pretty much the limit for around 700fps. Even at 25 yards, it's pushing it to the limit a bit.

Yes, I'm using Hikvision/Dahua 3MP cameras running in 2048x1500 resolution (higher than 1080P) at 20FPS and it's doing great. I have 5 cameras going into an Intel I5 based PC and it says it's using 32% CPU. Loving this software.

Beware the Sony "cineframe" options -- they look terrible. I have a Sony HC3 and while it's a fine little camera in 1080i 60i mode, the pseudo-24p stuff looks awful.The HV20 promises TRUE 24fps recording, plus a cinematic gamma curve, plus OIS, plus manual audio level controls, plus better lowlight performance. I wasn't even planning on buying a new camera, but I'm buying an HV20. At $1099, it's a great deal!

20 minutes in 1080p, 30 minutes in 720p and 5 seconds in high speed videos (400 fps or 1200 fps)

Thanks for the response. I'm not really interested in the 24p aesthetic. I am interested in taking video of quarter midget race cars racing. I have a HV10 now that has two problems (as I see it). One is that it's HD format is 1080i and the other is that the HD video is compressed to the same bit rate as SD video. It looks like the native 24p mode of the HV40 could solve one of these problems. It boggles my mind that so few camcorders offer progressive recording. Nearly all the still cameras that take video do it in progressive format.

If I remember correctly it is about 2.5 - 3 hours of runtime at 4k using the LED screen. It should be longer if you use the viewfinder.

Not 100% sure but since the resolution is 48k I believe it's 24 bit (half the resolution)

Michael is correct. I hadn't used my camera during the past couple of months. I had previously set my video resolution to "Standard," because my desktop runs on XP and couldn't handle the higher resolution. I recently got a new lap top and, just last night, returned the resolution to its original. I found that it's sometimes confusing as to how to get to what you want in the menu. Just be patient!

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.

Hey! 1. There is definitely a considerable increase in quality between 60i and 60p, especially if you are using the camera to shoot movies. For example, for me, I usually add CG elements into my film since I enjoy making short films, and that does not necessarily sit well with 60i footage. The interlacing can cause weird artifacts especially while I'm compositing shots. The more lateral (horizontal) movement you have, the greater the quality of 60i depreciates compared to 60p. However, as much as I hate interlaced footage, i would stress that you consider what you use your camera for. If it is for straightforward home movies or other casual recordings, then you are FINE! You wouldn't necessarily appreciate or find as great a jump in quality. 2. I'm not going to pretend that I have expert knowledge on this. Your point seems valid. However, RAW bit rate is not always an accurate measure of video quality. And keep in mind that for both cases the bit rate corresponds to bits per second, and if there are 60 frames in a second, interlaced or not, each frame contains the same amount of data, with this data being either interpolated in the interlaced case, or actually captured in the progressive case. 60p at 28Mbps would look better than 60i at 25Mbps 3. You would think so right? However, due to standards that were set in the film industry back in the old days, and the reluctance of the industry to let go of these standards, 24fps is what most movies you watch in theaters are recorded/playing at. In essence it is what makes movies look like movies. Usually just after a glance you can tell whether any playing video is a movie or a TV show; It is because you are subconsciously used to movies looking like they do, i.e. at 24fps. Hence, for a short film maker like myself, 24fps mode is a huge plus! I hope i answered your questions, or at least did so partly. Cheers!

I've done it the other way around. I shot something using a canon XAH! in SD mode using 24fps.I went into Premiere and created a new project using settings with 24fps. Captured the footage off the camera. Then I brought the video clip into the timeline. I then exported the workspace to media file,avi, with the setting 30fps. Came out good.

I can imagine, you do feel a bit traumatized by all that NTSC 240 interlaced content out there. There are no miracles. No water from a stone. That said, you can get progressive scan 4x3 or 10x9 from your source--so the better the source the cleaner the up-scanned content. So if your content is widescreen and fair 480p--you'll be happy, and if it happens to be in "full-screen" (don't start me on lies like that one) for the older NTSC sets, it can still look amazing ala Ren and Stimpy or Looney Tunes or sure--Tombstone (depending on your source.) The better the input, the better the output--including on HD Source where I see a marked difference. It deals pretty well with those darned compression artifacts. AT 82" you'd notice. I have them on Plasma, LCD, and an SXRD--and am really pleased with the way they work. Your mileage may vary. Grin.
