Hi John,
Assuming you want DV PAL, Go to the "video format" menu, set "frame rate" to 50/25, then set "Rec" to either DV-25P for progressive or DV-50i for interlace

thankyou very much

Hi John,
I don't know why you cannot access this menu - I have not had that problem. As to shooting progressive or interlace on wedding videos, that would be a personal choice - I shoot everything progressive, but not everyone likes the look of progressive, so do a few tests and see which one you prefer,

thanks

I have just changed from the XL1s to the 101e, bit of a learning curve, the xl1s was, (only) interlace right

john.

The XL1s had "FRAME" mode that was similar to progressive but lost a little resolution in achieving it and so wasn't as good.

I just shot a project using an HD101 and XL1 as backup. The difference in quality is night and day! The JVC is a great camera but has a bit of a learning curve in order to get the best out of it. I'd use the info on this board together with your own tests in order to find the best settings for your tastes. Allow a day or two of toying and trail and error until you get it spot on.

thankyou very much.

was looking for the settings..ie frame rate etc to be similar to the xl1s when i was shooting it in dv.
