Panasonic AG-HVX200 Camcorder User Manual


 
Cine-Like Gamma Provides Warmer,
Film-Like Color Tones
Eight-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed
for the VariCam, Panasonic has
equipped the AG-HVX200 with
advanced gamma functions that
address eight different shooting
scenarios and expands your
creative abilities. Included are the
Cine-Like Gamma, which gives
recordings the characteristic warm
tone of film recordings, and a News
Gamma that's designed especially
for news gathering.
AG-HVX200 Gamma Mode
NEWS: Minimizes washout to faithfully
capture all visual information especially in the highlights
HD NORM: Suitable for HD recording
LOW: Works to flatten out a high contrast scene
SD NORM: Normal setting for SD
(this was available in the DVX100 series)
HIGH: Provides additional contrast and color gradation
B.PRESS: Provides more contras and blacks in low contrast scenes
CINE-LIKE-D: The Cine-Like mode
shifted to prioritize dynamic range
CINE-LIKE-V: The Cine-Like mode
shifted to prioritize contrast

Using Mini DV Tape
In addition to its two P2 card slots, the AG-HVX200 is equipped with a
mini DV tape drive. This allows recording in 60i, 30p, 24p or 24pA
(Advance) modes, just like AG-DVX100 series models. It also lets you
down-convert an HD source (1080i/720p) recorded on a P2 card and
copy it to a mini DV tape.
During copying, frame-rate
conversion is applied to
overcranked and
undercranked HD image
sources in 720p native mode.
This lets you create special
speed effects during DV
production – until now, a feat
possible only with a complete
VariCam system.
