Page 89: Face Detection
Focus Face Detection When the face detection function is activated, the camera will detect people’s faces. When there are a number of people in the picture, one person will be determined to be the main subject but you have the option to select a different person as the main subject.
Page 90: Tracking A Specific Subject
Focus • Face detection cannot be used in the following cases: - When slow & fast motion recording is not activated and the shutter speed used is slower than 1/30 (59.94 Hz recordings), 1/25 (50.00 Hz recordings), or 1/24 (24.00 Hz recordings or 59.94 Hz recordings with a 23.98P frame rate).
Page 91: Image Stabilization
Image Stabilization Image Stabilization In CAMERA mode, you can use the image stabilizer to compensate for camera shake and achieve steadier shots. The image stabilizer is more effective at wider angles and the effect is reduced the more you approach the telephoto end.
Page 92: Zoom
Zoom Zoom In CAMERA mode, you can use the camera to zoom when an EF Cinema/broadcast lens compatible with zoom operation (A 242) or an EF lens integrated with an optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter is attached to the camera. You can also zoom remotely using Browser Remote on a connected network device (A 183, 185).
Page 93: Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns And False Color
Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color In CAMERA mode, using onscreen markers allows you to make sure your subject is correctly framed and is within the appropriate safe area. Zebra patterns help you identify areas that are overexposed. The false color overlay allows you to check if the exposure is correct.

Page 100: Time Code Signal Output
Synchronizing with an External Device NOTES NOTES • Synchronize the camera’s time code with an external time code signal that matches the camera’s system frequency. Use a 24-frame time code signal when the frame rate is set to 23.98P or 24.00P, a 25-frame time code signal when it is set to 25.00P, 50.00i or 50.00P and a 30-frame time code signal for other frame rates.
Page 101: Reference Video Signal Output
Synchronizing with an External Device • If the external Genlock signal is incorrect, the synchronization may not be stable. In such case, the recorded time code may be incorrect. Reference Video Signal Output After changing the function of the optional EU-V1’s or EU-V2’s G-LOCK/SYNC OUT terminal, you can use the camera’s video signal as a reference sync signal (tri-level HD signal) to synchronize an external device to this camera.
