Synchro Scan - Panasonic AG-HPX172EN Operating Instructions Manual

Synchro scan

Set the shutter speed of the synchro scan (used
when shooting a television or computer monitor) in
the setup menus, SCENE FILE screen, SYNCRO
SCAN. (Page 97)
• Adjust the shutter speed to match the frequency
of the television or computer monitor to minimize
the horizontal noise that appears when shooting
such subjects.
• When the OPERATION TYPE option in the
SCENE FILE screen (Page 97) is set to FILM
CAM, the shutter opening angle can be adjusted
from 10° to 360° in 0.5° steps.
Example: When the recording frame rate is set to
25 fps and the exposure time is halved, 1/25 ÷2 =
1/50 = 180° (1/25 = 360°)
In the default setting (180°), this becomes 1/2 of
the exposure time. If it were 90°, it would be 1/4,
and if it were 45°, it would be 1/8 of the exposure
time.
(Shutter opening angle: This is equivalent to the
shutter speed of a film camera, and a wider angle
results in a longer exposure to light.)
• If the shutter speed is displayed in blue
characters followed by (1/50), you cannot change
the shutter speed in the blue characters while the
current recording format is used. The speed is
fixed at (1/50).
You can change the progressive mode in
the setup menu with REC FORMAT in the
RECORDING SETUP screen. (Page 103)
