• The following are characteristics of a CCD. They are not
malfunctions.
— If you select a large number of frames, white speckles
may appear on the CCD.
— When you switch the shutter mode from SS mode to
SLS mode, the picture may blur.
— When you switch the OUTPUT/DCC switch from
BARS to CAM, the picture may blur (only when 50i
format is selected).
— If a larger number of frames is selected in SLS mode
in a high temperature situation, a flicker may appear
on the picture.
— If you switch the GAIN selector position, noise may
appear.
For detailed information, consult your Sony dealer.
Changing the range of choice of shutter
mode and speed settings
You can reduce the time required to select whether you use
the ECS mode and the speed by narrowing the choice of
settings in advance. This can be done by using the SHT
ENABLE page of the OPERATION menu.
• The SLS mode can be selected only when an optional
HKDW-905R extension board is installed.
• When controlling the camcorder by connecting an
optional Remote Control Unit such as RM-B150/B750,
you can select all shutter speeds and ECS mode
regardless of the setting on the SHT ENABLE page.
