TOMORROW I'M SHOOTING A CONFERENCE AND WAS PLANNING ON SHOOTING IT IN SQUEEZE MODE. WHAT'S BETTER SUITED FOR THAT, 60i OR 24PA?? ALSO, IF I SHOOT IN 60i DO I NEED TO SET THE DETAIL FREQUENCE TO THIN?
If you use 24pA, and squeeze, then you definitely should set it to thin.
The choice is whether you want it to look filmish, or like video. If you want the video look, choose 60i. If you want more of a filmlike look, choose 24pA.
