Curious to what modes people use for your filming.
My camera offers: 4x3 (normal) interlaced, 4x3 (normal) frame mode, 16x9 (wide) interlaced, 16x9 (wide) frame mode, and 16x9 pro-cinema mode (wide, frame mode)
I always use the anamorphic 16:9 format.
Most of my videos have been filmed at the standard 60i format (60 fps interlaced), but my last video was filmed in my cameras Pro Cinema modes. I like the results.
My Panasonic GS-400 has a mode called Pro-Cinema or something, according to the website:
Pro-Cinema Mode
Theatre movies are generally filmed at 24 frames per second (fps). The GS400's Pro-Cinema mode shoots at a close 25 fps to give you movie-like motion.
Procinema mode is simply anamorphic widescreen, Frame Mode, and adjustments to the gamma of the recorded video. The cadence of the video (frame rate) and the picture adjustments make the video look more "film-like."
This video was filmed in 16:9 60i mode -- This video was filmed in 16:9 Pro-Cinema mode
Both dives had similar conditions, sunny, same depth, 20-30 foot vis.
I really like the Pro-Cinema look, I have also had more positive response to this video than my previous ones.
What have other people here used, what do you like, etc?
