Digital Effects
The camcorder includes a selection of
digital effects for a more appealing
l o o k a n d g r e a t e r
imaging variety.
1 Faders
Use the various faders to start or end scenes
with a fade to or from black. Choose
between Fade Trigger, Vertical Wipe,
Vertical Stripe, Horizontal Stripe,
Checker and Window fades.
2 Effects
Give variety to your images during recording
by adding Negative, Art, Black and White,
Sepia or Mosaic effects.
3 Multi-image Screen
Divides your display screen into four,
nine or sixteen pictures with the Image
Capture feature. You can choose the
speed at which the images
are captured: Slow, Moderate,
or Fast.
PCM Digital Sound
The camcorder offers two digital audio modes to
enhance the playback experience. The 16
bit mode produces the higher, CD
equivalent, two-channel sound quality while
the 12 bit mode records on two of four
channels leaving two other channels free to
dub extra sound at a later date.
Flexible LCD View Screen
and Color Viewfinder
The 2.5” view screen makes it easier to
compose sensational shots from any angle.
It swivels and flips for maximum handling
comfort and flexibility. It also tucks neatly
away when bright shooting conditions make
the eyecup viewfinder the preferred way to
shoot. Rotate the viewfinder to an angle that
allows you to view comfortablely.
AV Insert and Audio Dubbing
Use this feature to insert new scenes of video from your VCR or
other camcorder on to a tape recorded in the SP mode. Using a
recording made in the 12 bit audio mode you can also add
stereo sound from another audio source or through
the internal microphone or an external microphone.

camcorder into the OPTURA100

Multi-Angle Hand

The grip belt gives a more
stable feel. To eliminate often-
awkward feel when holding
vertical video camcorder, it is
shaped in cylindrical form that
gently tucks around your hand
for natural and smooth
operation.
