How do I record @ 60I

Scene dial set to 1 will automatically give you 60i. However in any scene file going into the menu and turning progessive to off also gives you 60i.
 
If you're planning on shooting slo-mo make sure you also use a high shutter speed. :thumbsup:
 
whats better for everday shoots when 24p isnt needed 30p or 60i and whats the differ between the 30p and 60i? i guess my question is what looks better 30p or 60i i know one is progressive and the other interlaced so im guessing 30p is better?

Different looks for different purposes. Neither is necessarily "better", it depends on the situation. Usually if you're looking to capture footage that looks like "live" video, 60i is preferred over 30p. If you're looking for the filmlike look, 24p is the best. 30p is a sort of hybrid look; smoother motion than 24p but not nearly as smooth as 60i, sort of filmlike look but not as filmlike as 24p.

depends on what your shooting, what is an "everyday" shoot to you? and none are better then the best, they all can be used to their advantage.
 
i dont really know what your looking for, but theres really no better way to say it then to take your camera out & get some footage of all different frame rates and see what would be best ideal for your certain shot. for instance if your shooting a short and want it to look like film, use 24p. but my best suggestion would be just to take it out and experiment with the different rates.
 
60i you get by doing nothing special, that is the TV standard! If you shoot something that is supposed to be shown on television, that is what you should use. Or are you planning to make moves to be shown in theatres? Then you should consider 24p.

Interlacing was (partly) invented to make movement look smooth on TV. If you want the video be jerky, go ahead and use 30p.
 
Well, no. Interlacing came about entirely because engineers had to make televisions work with the 60Hz power grid and they didn't have the bandwidth to push 60 progressive pictures through every second. Smoothness of movement was only a by-product of the 60Hz rate.
 
My consideration would be ambient lighting: 60i is best for lowlight then 30p then 24PA / 24P. If you have no ambient lighting control in a low light environment you can possibly get away with 30p rather than throw progressive away altogether.

Hey Folks,

I have read some topics relating to slow motion and it's recommended to shoot in 60I but I am having a hard time trying to set it to 60I.. I have the DVX 100 (not a or b) and I dont know where the function is to set it to 60I?

Here's the manual I been looking @ ... can someone give me a hand please.

Presuming you're using a pal camera (as you're from London) I think you're original question never got answered properly. 60i is ntsc interlace, for pal interlace, as said use scene dial 1 which is 50i - to get the smoothest slow motion change your shutter speed to 1/100 then slow it down to 50% in post.
