I know that this has been covered before and I found a Canon digital
camcorder (Vixia HV 40 mini DV HD,) has the capability of Native 24P Mode
and 24P Cinema Mode.

Is it possible to transfer film using this camcorder and without flicker?

Amazon Link / Nice samples of 24P on bottom of the page

Michael,

I shoot in the 24P mode when I transfer and there's never any flicker.

Hey Doug,

What frame rate do you project at during transfer?

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

The GS-1200 is set at 24fps. I've found the best camera placement to be slightly above the projector, on the same axis.

Hi guys,

I believe this is not originally meant by Canon for movie transfer. So what is the actual function/benefit of this 24P Cinema Mode for?

Why Canon video camera has this?

regards

Winbert,

24P is a very popular shooting format as it imitates the "film look".

Thanks Doug,

In this kind of shooting mode, do you find it does look like "Film"?

Secondly, does the camera really take picture frame by frame?
