STILL BY FRAME

The frame still is set.

Note for the field still and frame still:

(with 480i interlaced scanning mode)

• Field* still (240 lines)

Since only one field (half of the video information)
is shown on the TV screen, the picture appears
rough but does not shake.

• Frame* still (480 lines)

Two fields are alternatively shown on the TV screen.
The picture shakes but the resulting picture quality
is superior to the field still pictures.

Field*:

A field refers to the video information in
one-half of a frame. 1 frame (screen)
consists of 2 fields.

Frame*:

A frame refers to the total area occupied
by each picture on the TV screen.
