Internal Light System
A two-pin socket in the HDW-F900R provides up to 50
watts of power from the attached lithium-ion battery.
This can be used to power a variety of ancillary
devices, including a front-light that can
be mounted on the upper part of
the handle. The power can be
switched on and off manually
or, when in Auto mode,
it can be set to be
synchronized with the
operation of the Record
button.
Cassette Loading
The cassette loading of the HDW-F900R is fast, simple,
and reliable. It takes less than 5 seconds* for cassette
change. This facility and long recording runs (40-50
minutes depending on the selected frame-rate) offer
higher levels of efficiency on location. The loading
mechanism is robust and designed to be dust-, mois-
ture-, and drip-resistant. The vertical cassette loading
also helps to minimize the risk of airborne
contaminants from entering the loading mechanism.

Extended Clear Scan
The Extended Clear Scan function is particularly useful
when shooting scenes that contain computer or TV
screens as it minimize the horizontal bars that can
appear. The ECS shutter speed is continuously variable.
When the camera is operated at 24P with a 1/48-
second shutter speed, it exactly emulates the motion
blur of a film camera operating at 24 fps with a 180º
shutter.
