With this function On, the projector reproduces pictures faithful to
the original film quality.
Film
✔Note:
•  Progressive, Film, and Noise reduction cannot be displayed when selecting PC input
source.
• Progressive cannot be selected when 480p, 575p, and 720p is selected in the
System menu.  (p40)
• Film can only be activated when selecting PAL, NTSC, 480i or 575i for Video
System and On for Progressive. 
• 2:3  Pulldown or Telecine transfer is the process of changing images from film mode
to video mode.  While film runs at 24 frames per second (fps), NTSC television
signals (or video) have a run rate of 30fps so the 24 fps film needs to be speeded
up to 30fps and transferred using a proper field pattern to get the best film-like
images.  2:2 Pulldown uses the same process of changing images as 2:3 pulldown,
but the difference is that 24 fps film is speeded up for PAL television signal (or
video) having 25 fps.
