Explanation of Terms
Hi 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.
W@iFocus
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.
) 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.
