Memo :
● The [Rec Mode] is fixed at "Normal".
● The following functions cannot be used when "High-Speed" is selected.
Network, Time Stamp Recording, Flicker Correction, Shading, Face
Detection and WDR
● The settings for slot B are fixed at the same as slot A.
● For the "TC Generator" setting, only "Rec Run" and "Regen" can be
selected.
● It is not possible to set a shutter speed that is slower than the frame
rate.
(Example: When 120/60p is selected, 1/120 to 1/10000 can be set.)
● The angle of view shifts to telephoto.
(35 mm conversion: [Normal] 29.6 mm to 355 mm → [High-Speed]
49.3 mm to 592 mm)
● The sensitivity of high speed shooting is lower than normal shooting. In
order to capture more beautiful images, it is recommended to perform
shooting in a lighted environment.
● The remaining space on the media (recordable time to a SD card) runs
out faster than usual.
(Example: For 120/60p, as the recording speed is twice as fast as
usual, the remaining space on the media is reduced by approximately
double the speed.)

"98%" added to [Top] and [Bottom] of menu item
[Zebra]
"98%" is added to the setting values for specifying the upper and lower
limits of the luminance level in [LCD/VF] → [Shooting Assist] →
[Zebra]/[Top] and [Bottom].
This convenient setting is to keep the video level with 100% during the
video production for playback, screening and broadcasting on
nonlinear devices and PC.

2. Adjust the "Hue". [Setting range: -5 to +5] (roughly ± 5%)
● Select the color using the cross-shaped button (JK) and confirm
using the cross-shaped button (I). (The cursor moves to "Hue".)
● Pressing the cross-shaped button (J) rotates the hue in the
clockwise direction on the vector scope.
● Pressing the cross-shaped button (K) rotates the hue in the anti-
clockwise direction on the vector scope.
