It supports both 1920x1080/50i and 1920x1080/25p... so sure, it's quite possible you have been recording interlaced. Also, the HDV-like mode, 1440x1920/50i, is always interlaced. If you're seeing true field to field motion, "mice teeth", etc. in a single frame, you are definitely shooing in interlaced mode. Here's a bit about it: http://www.dvcreators.net/interlacing/ Of course, if your output target is also an interlaced display (TV, Blu-Ray, DVD, etc), there won't be any problem using the 1080/50i video. You'll also lose most if not all of the interlacing effect if you're downsizing from HD to SD or web formats. I have done many shoots in 1080/60i, made great Blu-Ray and DVD from this, and also online stuff that looks fine. Here's a review of the HS9, which also shows how to turn the progressive mode on and off... it's a separate function from setting the resolution. http://www.simplydv.co.uk/reviews/camcorders/panasonic/avchd/panasonic-hdc-hs9-review.html Your HDC-HS9 has several video modes… be sure you are setting the correct one.
