OPERATIONAL VERSATILITY
Advanced Features for Professional Results
AF Assist
The AF (Auto Focus) Assist function allows operators to focus
on desired subjects when using the AF mode. Operators can
manually change focus positions using a focus ring during AF
mode, allowing AF reference focus positions to be shifted to
manually changed positions. This is useful, for example, when
operators want to focus on subjects far away through a window.
Expanded Focus
At the touch of a button, the center of the screen on the LCD
monitor and viewfinder can be magnified to about twice the
size, making it easier to confirm focus settings during manual
focusing.

Peaking
The Peaking function can perform an effect on pictures
displayed in the LCD monitor and viewfinder that allows
operators to easily adjust focus positions. It enhances the
outline of the image, which the camera focuses on most, and
colors the outline to make it more visible. Enhance levels can
be selected from a choice of "HIGH", "MIDDLE", and "LOW",
and the outline color from "RED", "WHITE", and "YELLOW".

Time Code Preset
The time code can be preset using any number in H/M/S/F
(hours/minutes/seconds/frames) to record desired tape-position
information.
The time-code mode can be selected between "REC RUN"
and "FREE RUN". In addition to the time code, user bits can
also be set.
External Record Control
By connecting the HVR-Z1 to an HDV 1080i, DVCAM or DV
compatible device such as a camcorder, VTR or HDD recorder
with an i.LINK interface, operators can control the HVR-Z1
and its connected device externally, to perform simultaneous
recording and sequential recording.
Quick Rec.
When operators do not want to miss a single recording
opportunity, the time until the recording restarts from stop
7
mode can easily be shortened.
7 When standby mode continues for more than three minutes, it is
automatically switched to stop mode.
