Peter,
I certainly am not an expert on this camera, but there is nothing to say
that these 2 statements are contradictory. One relates to recording rate,
the other to playback rate. I assume your concern is the apparent
disagreement between 30fps and 60fps? This camera could, for example, make
60 fps recordings, but at playback time "skip" every 2nd frame, playing back
therefore at 30 fps.
