Does this camera shoot in Interlaced or Progressive??

Question

The camera has these options to shoot:

HDV: 1080/60i, 1080/24p, 1080/30p

Does 1080/24p, 1080/30p mean that it shoots at 1080 progressive?? But also it can do 1080 interlaced when its put into 1080/60i?? Need help understanding this. Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct. 24p means 24 frames per second progressive (like films), 30p is 30 frames per second progressive (like television), and 60i is 60 frames per second interlaced.
