Natural is the correct choice.

Digital processing

Dig. natural motion: For everyday viewing, Dig. natural

motion

reproduction and brilliance from every source, including

High Definition. For the most optimum motion

reproduction of all source materials, select the

Movie Plus

setting. Standard Mode is recommended only for very

noisy or poorly mastered sources or for those who find the

smoothness of Digital natural motion (which eliminates

jutter in the picture) unsettling.
