Why is 25p so dark?

[mushyosh]

Im using a PAL version of the DVX.

I just wanted to ask: why is everything so much darker when using the 25p mode?

I thought since there were less frames per second, there would be more light coming in?


please enlighten.....rogar-Evil(DBG):

It's the nature of progressive scan. It requires a little more light than interlaced video.

Because in 25 it shoots progressive-scan and not interlaced. Interlace scanning provides a 6db (one f-stop) increase in brightness. So progressive-scan is one stop slower than interlaced scanning, all other things being equal.
