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.
1) Recording a subject whose one end is 

located closer to the Movie Camera and the 
other end farther away from it

Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at 
the centre of an image, it may be impossible 
to focus on a subject that is located in both 
foreground and background.

2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty 

glass

Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the 
subject behind the glass will not be focused.

3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings

Because the light information that comes 
through the lens decreases considerably, the 
Movie Camera cannot focus correctly.

4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by 

objects with glossy surfaces or by highly 
reflective objects

Because the Movie Camera focuses on the 
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly 
reflective objects, the recording subject may 
become blurry.

5) Recording a fast-moving subject

Because the focus lens inside moves 
mechanically, it cannot keep up with the 
fast-moving subject.

6) Recording a subject with little contrast

Because the Movie Camera achieves focus 
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a 
subject with little contrast, such as a white 
wall, may become blurry.

ª

White Balance Adjustment

Depending on the type of light source, the colours 
recorded by the Movie Camera may be affected. 
In some cases, images may be recorded with 
bluish or reddish hue. To minimize the effect of 
light on the subject’s colour, what is called White 
Balance Adjustment becomes necessary.

White Balance Adjustment

White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour 
of light and makes adjustment so that the white 
colour will become pure white.

Automatic White Balance Adjustment

This Movie Camera stores settings that are 
optimal for several kinds of general light sources. 
The Movie Camera determines the hue of light 
that it receives through the Lens, thereby judging 
the recording condition, and selects the closest 
hue setting. This function is called Automatic 
White Balance Adjustment.
However, since white balance settings for only 
several kinds of light sources are stored, the Auto 
White Balance Function does not operate properly 
when recording occurs under light that is out of the 
range of the setup values.

ª

Time Code

Time Code signals are data that indicate time 
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames 
(25 frames per second). If this data is included in a 
recording, an address is assigned to each image 
on the tape.

The Time Code is automatically recorded as a 
part of the sub-code at each recording.

When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is 
inserted, the Time Code automatically starts 
from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the 
Time Code picks up from the point where the 
last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the 
Cassette is inserted, the zero display 
[0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code 
starts from the previous value.)

The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.

Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded 
from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing 
may not be possible. To ensure that the Time 
Code will be recorded with no breaks, we 
recommend the use of the Blank Search 
Function

 before recording a new scene.
