162 Additional Information
[Frame Rate]: Selects the frame rate to be used when recording.
[o PF30]: 30 frames per second, progressive. Use this frame rate to
easily edit your recordings, for example, to post them on the Web.
[E PF24]: 24 frames per second, progressive. Using this frame rate will
give your recordings a cinematic look. When combined with the [D Cine
Mode] recording program (0 63), the cinematic look will be enhanced.
Using this frame rate, video is recorded as 60i and movies can be con-
verted to standard definition in the camcorder.
[z 24F]: 24 frames per second, progressive. Using this frame rate will
achieve the same cinematic look as [E PF24], the difference being that
video is recorded as true 24p. Use the supplied software ImageMixer 3
SE to convert movies recorded with this frame rate to standard definition.
[Memory Info]: Displays a screen where you can verify how much of the
built-in memory (
c only) or the memory card is currently in use (l
total recording time and k total number of photos) and how much space
remains available for recording.
Estimated figures about available movie recording time and available
number of photos are approximate and based on the recording mode
and photo quality/size settings currently in use.
In the information screen of a memory card you can also check its
Speed Class.
c The [Total space] shown for the built-in memory indicates
actually usable space. It may be slightly smaller than the nominal built-in
memory capacity listed in the Specifications.
[x.v.Color]: Uses a color space with an extended gamut to achieve
deeper colors, closer to real life.
Use this function to record video only when you intend to play back your
recordings on an HDTV compatible with x.v.Color, connected to the
camcorder using an HDMI cable. If recordings made with x.v.Color are
played back on a non-compatible TV, colors may not be reproduced
correctly.
[Color Bars & Test Tone]: Use the color bars to calibrate the colors on an
external TV or monitor.
[Color Bars]: Displays a standard SMPTE color bar pattern.
[Color Bars & Tone]: In addition to the color bar pattern, a 1 kHZ, -12 dB
test tone is output.
Connect the camcorder to the TV or monitor and display the color bars
(if desired, along with the test tone). Check the colors and audio record-
ing levels on the external monitor and adjust as necessary.
