Non-Removable lens
The DSR-200A incorporates a non-removable
lens to enhance the operational convenience.
Non-removable lens allows the following
functions.
* Optical Steady Shot Function
The optical Steady Shot function of the
DSR-200A compensates for camcorder
movement by using an active prism
mechanism. Unlike compensation by frame
memories, the optical Steady Shot function
compensates for movement without
deterioration of image quality.
* Auto/ Manual Focus Operation
The DSR-200A offers automatic and manual
control of focus, iris, gain, white balance
and shutter speed. For instant shooting,
automatic mode is very helpful. Automatic
mode can be easily overridden by switching
to manual mode.
Enhanced Minimum Illumination

extremely low light conditions as low as 3 lux.
It allows event videographers when shooting
weddings for instance to shoot clear pictures
even under low light conditions as often found
during church ceremonies and other dimly lit
indoor events.
16:9 Aspect Ratio Capability
Although the DSR-200A incorporates a
4:3 image sensor, it is capable to capture
16:9 aspect ratio pictures by processing them
digitally. It allows shooting of cinema-like
16:9 pictures, and displaying 16:9 images on
monitors at full screen.
Time/date Superimposition on
Video Out Pictures
The DSR-200A is capable of superimposing the
time and date superimposed onto the video out
signal by simply selecting the time/date
superimpose mode ON/OFF by the menu.
Time Code Capability (DF/NDF)
The DSR-200A has a time code capability
which allows precise editing. DF (Drop
Frame) or NDF (Non Drop Frame) can be
selected according to the situation. “DF”
synchronizes the time code with the field
frequency of the NTSC signal and “NDF”
counts the time by real time.
With the “TC RESET” button, the time code
can be reset to “00:00:00:00”.
i.LINK interface

The DSR-200A incorporates an i.LINK
(DV IN/OUT) connector
based on the IEEE 1394

connected with another
recorder/player via i.LINK
interface. Video/audio
and data can be digitally
dubbed virtually without
any deterioration of
quality.
