These images are captured directly from the Sony Vegas timeline, project set to HDV 1080 60i template, with interlacing disabled in the project. The images are shot at 24p with the HVR V1U camcorder, which inserts pulldown flags in the stream so that the 24p is wrapped in a 60i stream much like the Panasonic DVX 100 camcorder. Currently, no NLE properly reads and removes the pulldown flags for 24p in HDV. As a result, a couple of these frame grabs display ghosting. This is a result of the NLE, not the camcorder.

Above, you see the zoom fully extended to it's optical focal length equivalent of approximately 750mm

Here is the zoom extended using the Digital Extender (30x) for a focal length of approximately 1100mm. The cam is set to "Stabilize/Soft." The ghost on the foot is a result of the manner in which the NLE handles the 24p footage, as there is no pulldown removal available for HDV at this time.

This is the cam in auto mode, just an average screengrab.

Here is an interlaced capture from the cam set to auto/60i.
