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.
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

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 Camera Search 
Function 

(

l

 or the Blank Search Function 

(

before recording a new scene.

ª

Memory Stop Function

The Memory Stop Function is useful for the following 
operations.

Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a desired 
position

1

Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>

5

The tape automatically stops approximately at the 
position where the counter was set to zero.

Stopping editing automatically during audio dubbing

Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the position 
where you want to stop editing.
