What is the difference between 30p and 60p?

30p is the standard for home movies or let’s say digital video outside of movies and sports. 60p is suited for fast-paced sports where movements with 30p just don’t look as smooth as they should. Again, it is already suited to slow the motion down in an editing software and the motion looks still fluent.

What does 60i frame rate mean?

AVCHD 60i is the process of recording 60 frames per second using the interlace scanning system while 60p records 60 frames per second using the progressive scanning system. When AVCHD 28M (PS) is set, movies are recorded in 60p. Otherwise, they are recorded in 60i.

Is it better to shoot in 60fps or 30fps?

Because 60 fps capture more details, it also captures movement better. If your scene has a lot of movement 30 fps could make the footage look blurry and bad. With 60 fps, you would gain smoother footage, and you will thank yourself in the end for doing it.

What does 60p mean on a camera?

60p is suited for fast-paced sports where movements with 30p just don’t look as smooth as they should. Again, it is already suited to slow the motion down in an editing software and the motion looks still fluent. Slowing down for 48p and 60p is meant as ‘moderate’. Modern video camcorders in the upper consumer class can usually record native 60p.
