I have a scene coming up where a woman relives the moment of when she was shot and paralyzed. Basically she's in the room again looking at herself as the doorbell rings. As soon as the doorbell rings, I was planning on doing it in slo mo as she reaches out for her former self to stop her from answering the door. I plan to either do this with 30 fp or the 60i, most likely 60i because it doesn't appear that 30fp slowed down is truly slow enough. The scene files are confusing to me though. They're still the factory settings mind you, so if I want to shoot 30fps, can I just leave it in scene file 6 and then change the fps to 30. To shoot in 60i I can't even figure out which scene file I need to be in to do that cause there isn't that speed option in scene file 6. The instruction booklet doesn't seem to mention anything about that. Lastly with the resolution only being half in 60i once put in the 24 timeline is it even worth shooting at that speed?

Use the exact same scene file, just change the "progressive" mode to "off" and it'll then be in 60i.
And yes the resolution drop is noticeable, however, you have to balance that aginast the smoother motion that you'll get from a 60i slowdown. There is no free lunch, you'll either get smooth low-res slow-mo, or high-res not-very-slow-mo. What I've found is that when you're going to slow-mo the shot then looks different enough that it masks the lower-res look of the de-interlaced 60i footage; but you should be testing it to determine whether you'll find the results satisfactory for your project.
The alternative would be to find someone with an HVX that you can have help you shoot that scene in 60p maybe?

Hey Barry, thanks.
Yeah, I do have your book as I had purchased my 100B back in February. In fact I just read the part where it covers getting 60i achieved. So sorry about that, I should of looked around a little more in the book. I'll probably just end up shooting the portion of the scene in 24 as well as 60i just in case I don't like it in 60i.
