GS400 PAL has 25P and Pro-Cinema mode
Just a quick note to confirm that the PAL version does in fact have 25P and a Cine-Pro mode with Cine-like gamma derived from that which can be found on the DVX100 (wider tonal scale).
This stems from the press release on the German Panasonic site. Quote:
The public price is 1990 € but the camcorder can already be found for less than 1800 € in France. |
The Pro Cinema mode's cine-like gamma and 16:9 is verifiable by the GS400 manual we have but unfortunately that 25p is not progressive scan. The 25p should read 25fps (frames per second) for its frame mode which is similar to progressive scan but suffers from resolution loss. The same goes for the NTSC GS400 which has a 30fps frame mode.

Hmm, you are probably correct, although the german press release is somewhat misleading, and so is the manual.
I will try and get the final word on this matter next week (assuming someone at Panasonic France knows the real answer...). |
