Explanation of Terms
ª
Digital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are converted
into digital signals and recorded on a tape. This complete
digital recording is capable of recording and playback with
minimal image and sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as Time Code
and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Movie Camera employs a digital system for
recording image and sound data, it is not compatible with
conventional S-VHS or VHS video equipment that employs
an analog recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassette are also different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal output socket is
analog (the same as conventional video systems), this Movie
Camera can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV
for playback.
ª
Focus
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward and
backward the focusing lens inside the Movie Camera to bring
the subject into focus so that the subject can be seen clearly.
However, the Auto Focus System does not function properly
for the following subjects or under the following recording
conditions.
Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
