Interval Recording function
You can perform intermittent recording at pre-
determined intervals. This is convenient for
shortening the time it takes to track variations
over long periods, such as changes in the weather
or plant growth.
Frame Recording function
Frame Recording is a unique feature of the PMW-
150 camcorder that is especially useful for clay-
animation shooting. With this function, images
for pre-determined frame are recorded each time
the record button is pressed.
Shutter-angle settings
In addition to the electric shutter speed controls,
the PMW-150 also has a “shutter angle” control,
which is familiar to cinematographers.
Picture Profile feature
The Picture Profile feature allows the camera
operator to easily call up customized picture-
tonal settings to suit particular shooting
conditions.
Up to 6 groups of settings can be set.
Picture Cache Recording function
The unit can utilize its internal memory to store
the image being captured, allowing recording to
commence up to 15 seconds in advance of when
the REC START (recording start) button was
pressed.
