Versatile Assist Functions Support Comfortable Image Acquisition
Focus Assist Function
The AG-AC160/AC130 are equipped with an HD focus assist
function. The focus bar indicates the focus level, and the focus-
in-red display shows the focus area. These two display functions
help you to focus quickly and accurately. A face detection function is
also provided, and area auto focus and area auto iris are possible.
Area Focusing and Area Iris Functions
Using the function knob (cursor key), you can select a desired area in
the frame and set it as a target zone for focusing, iris adjustment and
YGET (brightness measurement). This increases shot-composing
flexibility. In addition to the above three modes, there are two other
modes: simultaneous focusing/iris adjustment and simultaneous
focusing/YGET.
Scene File / User File
Use the Scene dial to retrieve an instant set of shooting conditions.
Six preset files are provided, and you can change any of the six file
names and their settings as desired. One set can be stored internally
in the AG-AC160/AC130, and four sets on an SD Memory Card. One
file with camera setting values can also be stored internally, and four
files on an SD Memory Card.
