It might just be my PC but your post is all messed up and very hard to read.
might be worth sorting that out first

It's not just your PC... I see the same

[dave_bass5]

Yeah, just tried another PC.
looks like lots of formatting gone wrong.

Hi Everyone,

I’m a newbie so please don’t smash me down. I could use some last minute shooting advice now that my Canon HF10 has arrived.

I would like to make a sort of HD (FXP+ mode) documentary for my family about a sporting event I will be participating in, so I was hoping to film all the dialogue and before/after stuff in 24P (i.e filming a day or two before as a build-up), but what about the event itself? Should I default to the sport mode of the Canon? A friend will be filming the fast paced action, but he is a novice, so manual control other than zooming is probably out of the question.

Can I film in 24P with Sport mode activated? Should I skip 24P mode for the before/after stuff? How do people generally find it? I haven’t used a Canon before, only Sony.

Is there a dramatic difference on a Blu-ray disc when the footage changes from 24P to Sport Mode? A seamless “look” isn’t necessary but would be nice.

Any advice from people who own the camera or have used it extensively is appreciated. Please consider what it is being used to film.

Thanks for info.

It is usually as a result of simply copying a post made off another bulletin board
Surely the Op can see how illegible the post looks

A simple answer to his query is not to read too much into the output quality of recording 24p
We have had a thread with similar sentiment expressed before this regarding the film look and the opinion of one of us Who is in the buisness is that consumer camcorders with CMOS sensors will not produce the desired result
It is probably best to experiment with the camcorder before a major event
I woud imagine using the camcorder i its normal mode would give more predictable results
I do not have the HF10 but the HG10 before it had somewhat lacklustre 24p
