Note
The recording time displayed when this switch is set to
TTL or DUR is obtained by counting the duration of
the internal reference signal input to the camcorder.
The value may not agree exactly with the value
derived from the time code values. Furthermore, the
value displayed may not be correct when another
manufacture’s VCR is connected to the camcorder.

the video signal output to the VCR.

7 HYPER GAIN switch
Setting this switch to ON increases the gain by a factor
of about 60 with respect to 0 dB (a 30 dB increase by
electronic amplification and a 6 dB increase for DPR,
bringing about a total gain increase of 36 dB, or an
increase 42 dB for the DSR-570WS/570WSP only).
When this switch is in the ON position, the indication
“HYPER” appears in the viewfinder, and the GAIN
UP indicator in the viewfinder also lights.
When finished shooting, return this switch to OFF
position. The “HYPER” indication disappears and the
GAIN UP indicator goes out.
Note
Increasing the gain with this switch reduces the
horizontal resolution by approx. 50%.
