STILL BY FRAME
The frame still is set.
Note for the field still and frame still:
(with 480i interlaced scanning mode)
• Field* still (240 lines)
Since only one field (half of the video information)
is shown on the TV screen, the picture appears
rough but does not shake.
• Frame* still (480 lines)
Two fields are alternatively shown on the TV screen.
The picture shakes but the resulting picture quality
is superior to the field still pictures.
Field*: A field refers to the video information in
one-half of a frame. 1 frame (screen)
consists of 2 fields.
Frame*: A frame refers to the total area occupied
by each picture on the TV screen.
