Professional camera features
Full auto shooting
When you are in a hurry and there is no time to set up for a shot, this function
provides point-and-shoot ease of operation — all you have to do is zoom,
focus and press the record button. Activating full auto shooting sets the
camera to the Auto Iris mode, even if the lens is set to manual. If the auto-iris
runs out of range, the Automatic Video Level Control (ALC), along with
Extended Electronic Iris (EEI) takes over to provide both variable gain and
variable shutter, extending the operating range 10,000 times! Also activated
is Full Auto White, which provides white balance even under continuously
varying color temperatures. Full auto shooting makes possible seamless
shooting from a dark area to a bright area without changing gain, iris, or ND
filter.
Precision ‘‘accu-focus’’ mode
In the ACCU-FOCUS position, the electronic shutter is activated for
approximately ten seconds, forcing the iris fully open. As a result, the depth
of field is minimized so the lens can be focused quickly and precisely. This
feature combined with VF-P116WU viewfinder peaking allows quick precise
focusing.
Continuous auto black (CAB)
JVC’s Continuous Auto Black circuit continuously corrects black balance by
sampling the CCD’s optical black. As a result, perfect black balance is
assured in a changing environment without interrupting shooting.
Automatic level control (ALC)
ALC with Extended Electronic Iris allows continuous automatic shooting in
all light levels, by varying the gain from 0 dB to +18 dB.
Shutter/variable scan view
The electronic shutter speed range varies from 1/100 to 1/2,000 sec. By
selecting the alternate Variable Scan function, you can capture flicker-free
footage of computer screens whose vertical scan rates may differ from that of
the camera.
Black stretch/compress
This function enhances or suppresses the details of dark areas on the picture.
Adjustable detail frequency
This feature gives you control over the picture sharpness for a bolder or more
detailed look.
Adjustable gamma point
By adjusting the contrast, you can alter the “mood” of the picture according
to your taste,
Time code reader/generator
SMPTE-standard time code can be recorded and read for accurate editing.
Sync lock mode
This enables a number of cameras to be synchronized for multi-camera
shooting.
