How do you set the Sony Z1 to Cineframe 25?

A friend is experimenting with the camera and wants to know how to set it to CF25. Do you first set the camera to PAL then to Cineframe? Any help or links would be helpful. I've never had one in my hands so I can't help him (and he's a thousand miles away).

Thanks,
Fred

It's done throught the Picture Profile Menu. As you predicted, you have to first set 50i/60i SEL to1080/50i through the Others Menu. If this is set at 1080/60i, then Cineframe will be CF30.

You'll also have to reboot the cam to set it to 50i.
FWIW, it's not labeled PAL or NTSC, there is no PAL or NTSC in HD world.

Thanks Peter & Spot! I'll forward the info.

PS: Spot, I just thought it would be labeled as PAL or NTSC for when it's shooting in non-HD.
