Explanation of Terms

Digital Video System

In a digital video system, images and sounds are converted

into digital signals and recorded on a tape. This complete

digital recording is capable of recording and playback with

minimal image and sound deterioration.

In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time Code

and Date/Time, as digital signals.

Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes

Because this Movie Camera employs a digital system for

recording image and sound data, it is not compatible with

conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that employs

an analog recording system.

The size and shape of the Cassette are also different.

Compatibility with Output Signals

Because AV signal output from the AV signal output socket

is analog (the same as conventional video systems), this

Movie Camera can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video

or a TV for playback.

Focus

Auto Focus Adjustment

The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward and

backward the focusing lens inside the Movie Camera to bring

the subject into focus so that the subject can be seen clearly.

However, the Auto Focus System does not function properly

for the following subjects or under the following recording

conditions.

Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.

1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer

to the Movie Camera and the other end farther away

from it

≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the centre

of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject

that is located in both foreground and background.

2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass

≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject

behind the glass will not be focused.

3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings

≥Because the light information that comes through the

lens decreases considerably, the Movie Camera

cannot focus correctly.

4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects

with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects

≥Because the Movie Camera focuses on the objects

with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the

recording subject may become blurry.

5) Recording a fast-moving subject

≥Because the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it

cannot keep up with the fast-moving subject.

6) Recording a subject with little contrast

≥Because the Movie Camera achieves focus based

upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject with little

contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry.

White Balance Adjustment

Depending on the type of light source, the colours recorded

by the Movie Camera may be affected. In some cases,

images may be recorded with bluish or reddish hue. To

minimize the effect of light on the subject’s colour, what is

called White Balance Adjustment becomes necessary.

White Balance Adjustment

White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour of light and

makes adjustment so that the white colour will become pure

white.

Automatic White Balance Adjustment

This Movie Camera stores settings that are optimal for

several kinds of general light sources. The Movie Camera

determines the hue of light that it receives through the Lens

and White Balance Sensor

(

56)

, thereby judging the

recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This

function is called Automatic White Balance Adjustment.

However, since white balance settings for only several kinds

of light sources are stored, the Auto White Balance Function

does not operate properly when recording occurs under light

that is out of the range of the setup values.

Time Code

Time Code signals are data that indicate time measured in

hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (25 frames per

second). If this data is included in a recording, an address is

assigned to each image on the tape.

≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part of the

sub-code at each recording.

≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is inserted,

the Time Code automatically starts from zero. If a recorded

Cassette is inserted, the Time Code picks up from the point

where the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the

Cassette is inserted, the zero display [0h00m00s00f] may

appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous value.)

≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.

≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded from the

beginning of a tape, accurate editing may not be possible.

To ensure that the Time Code will be recorded with no

breaks, we recommend the use of the Camera Search

Function

(

68)

or the Blank Search Function

(

77)

before recording a new scene.

Memory Stop Function

The Memory Stop Function is useful for the following

operations.

Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a desired

position

Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>

[MEMORY].

Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape

position from which you want to play it back

later.

(

58, 64)

Start playback or recording.

After playback or recording has finished:

Press the [MODE] Button to set the Movie

Camera to VCR Mode.

≥The [VCR] Lamp lights up.

Rewind the tape.

≥The tape automatically stops approximately at the

position where the counter was set to zero.

Stopping editing automatically during audio dubbing

Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>

[MEMORY].

Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the position

where you want to stop editing.

Play back the still picture where you want to

start audio dubbing.

Start audio dubbing.

(

≥Audio dubbing automatically stops at the position

where the counter was set to zero.
