Video Cam / Film Cam
So this whole time I have been shooting in the different modes from 1080i, 720p, 480i 30p. But in the Scene File there is the Video cam and Film cam. What are the differances? I can still shot in 30P / 24p in the video mode.
Thanks.

It does change the capabilities of the camera, the varialbe frame rate is only avaiable under Film Cam Mode and the shutters are displayed as degrees instead of fractions.

So if I were to shoot a video to go to film I could still shoot it in 24pn under video cam mode, right? it’s if I want to shoot 12fps and stuff like that.

I believe you are correct. the film mode permits over and under cranking.

FILM CAM mode = variable frame rates in 720p mode, and syncro-scan shutter works in degrees (that track with the frame rate) rather than a fixed fractional speed.
VIDEO CAM mode = access to pre-record, loop record, interval recording, and one-shot record modes; syncro-scan = fixed fractional speeds.
