Hi,
I have just got the 1020 and have checked out the three 1080 recording options on the video camera and am unsure which to use.
I live in the UK with a reasonably new (2006) Sony KDL40W TV and I want to make sure I choose the option that is best for playback on this TV. I think it doesn't matter so much for playback on a PC monitor as the monitor is more flexible in this case, but if I am wrong in this please let me know!
My understanding is that I should should a frame rate in multiples of 25 as the UK standard is 25 fps. This would hopefully mean that playback on my TV would not result in dropped frames from a source that was different e.g. the 24 or 30 fps options that the 1020 also supports. I am guessing that 24 has been provided as it is a "cinematic" option and 30 is for the US.
However, if it doesn't actually matter anymore with full HD TV's and the analogue switch off etc, then I would like to record at 30 fps as this theoretically leads to smoother playback as it has more info captured (I understand there is probably another debate on this point, but that is separate for now!).
Can anyone advise?
Cheers
Dan
