CREATIVE VERSATILITY

Unique Features for Creative Shooting
Shot Transition
TM
The Shot Transition function allows for smooth automatic
scene transitions. The operator can program start and end
settings for zoom, focus, iris, gain, shutter speed and white
balance into the camera's A /B buttons and, by pressing the
start button, a smooth transition will take place according to
the set time, because the camera automatically calculates the
intermediate values during the scene transition. The transition
progress can be checked using an indicator displayed on the
LCD monitor. This is very useful when complex camera
settings are required during the scene transition – for example,
when shooting subjects moving from the background to the
foreground of a scene. In addition, a start timer function is
also available for the Shot Transition function, helping to
prevent operators from missing a shot. Transition types can be
selected from a choice of "LINEAR", "SOFT STOP", and "SOFT
TRANS", transition time can be set from 2 to 15 seconds, and
the start delay time can be selected from 5, 10 and 20 seconds.
Cinematone Gamma TM
The HVR-Z1 provides a special gamma feature – the
Cinematone Gamma – which allows operators to quickly setup
and load a gamma curve with similar contrast characteristics to
a film gamma curve. Three gamma curves can be selected
from "OFF" (normal gamma), "TYPE1", or "TYPE2".

Cineframe
TM
The Cineframe feature allows picture movement to be
reproduced like a film. Combined with the use of the
Cinematone Gamma feature, this allows a cinematic and
film-like look to be achieved. Three types of Cineframe
modes can be selected.
Cineframe 24 and 30
The Cineframe 24 and Cineframe 30 features are used in 60i mode
and can reproduce the picture movement like films of 24 or 30 frames/
8
second in HDV, DVCAM and DV formats.
Cineframe 25
The Cineframe 25 feature is used in 50i mode and can reproduce the
picture movement like films of 25 frames/second in HDV, DVCAM and
DV formats.

Color Correction
The Color Correction feature provides two functions for
creative shooting. The Color Extraction function can retain
up to two desired colors of monitored pictures in the screen
by designating color hue, saturation and range, while making
the other colors black and white. This provides interesting
in-camera color effects that can emphasize particular colors
in the screen. In addition, the Color Revision function can
change the hue of only the colors designated by Color
Extraction, while retaining the hue of the other colors.
This also provides interesting in-camera effects.
