CREATIVE SHOOTING FEATURES
Interval Recording
Interval recording is a unique function that records signals at
pre-determined intervals (longer than 30 seconds) for
pre-determined durations (longer than 0.5 seconds). This is
ideal for recording subjects over long periods, such as the
movement of clouds or the blossoming of flowers.
Smooth Slow Rec
The Smooth Slow Rec*

function enables clean slow-motion
playback by capturing images at four times faster than the
normal field rate (200 fields/s). For example, when setting
the function to Fine mode, quad-speed images are captured
for three seconds, stored in the built-in buffer memory, and
then recorded to tape (in either HDV, DVCAM, or DV format)
as slow-motion pictures lasting 12 seconds. The Smooth
Slow Rec function also supports Standard and Low modes,
which can record high-speed images for 6 and 12 seconds,
respectively.

When using the Smooth Slow Rec function, the resolution of the camera
image decreases. For example, the resolution at Fine mode is 640 x 360 pixels.
Also, audio recording is not available.
Shot Transition Function
The Shot Transition
TM
function allows for smooth automatic
scene transitions. After an operator has programmed a
shot’s start and end settings (e.g., for zoom, focus, iris, gain,
shutter speed, and white balance) and pressed the start
button, it ensures a smooth transition takes place over the
duration of the shot by automatically calculating intermediate
setting values. This is very useful when complex camera
settings are required during the scene transition – for example,
when panning the camcorder from a distant subject to a
close subject.
