Panasonic P2 Series Camcorder User Manual


 
Voice Memo and Shot Marker
If desired, to each clip you can add a simple OK/NG shot marker
and a voice memo with an audio comment linked to the time code.
You can do this either during or after recording to support post-
recording processing.
Proxy Data Recording*
Mount an AJ-YAX800G Proxy Encode Card into the option card slot or
5th slot of the P2 card slots, and the AJ-SPC700 records MPEG4
proxy (low-resolution) data useful for news flash or other studio
news system use onto the card along with the full-resolution data.
You can select either of 1.5Mbps quality, 768kbps quality, or 192kbps
quality. Proxy data can also be recorded onto an SD Memory Card
mounted in the slot provided, for easy viewing on a laptop PC. The
encode card, available as an option, lets you upgrade as future image
encode systems evolve.
*Proxy data is AV data with low-resolution MPEG4 video and audio containing time code,
metadata, and other control information.

Four User Scene Files
Store specific camera settings in built-in memory, then retrieve them
when needed for quick, easy setup. Four files with settings can be
stored in the camera's memory. Files can also be copied onto an SD
Memory Card, allowing storage of up to eight files.
Customized User Buttons and Menu
Three user buttons are provided. Assign a function to each, and then
you can select those functions with pushbutton ease. You can also
customize the on-screen menu with the items you use most often, then
display them by simply pressing a button.
Auto Tracking White Balance
White balance is automatically adjusted, in real time, as the lighting
changes. This makes it easy to get natural colour even when shooting
scenes under difficult lighting conditions.
Connects to a PC via USB2.0 or IEEE 1394
The AJ-SPC700 comes equipped with a USB2.0 interface, and you can
add an IEEE 1394 interface by mounting the optional AJ-YAD800G
board. When the P2 cam is connected to a PC, you can use its card
slot as an external device for the PC ideal for nonlinear editing in the
field or transmitting data.
