Setting the screen
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.
