The [Rec Mode] is fixed at “Normal”.

The following functions cannot be used when “High-Speed” is selected.
Network, Time Stamp Recording, Flicker Correction, Shading, Face 
Detection and WDR

The settings for slot B are fixed at the same as slot A.

For the “TC Generator” setting, only “Rec Run” and “Regen” can be 
selected.

It is not possible to set a shutter speed that is slower than the frame 
rate.
(Example: When 120/60p is selected, 1/120 to 1/10000 can be set.)

The Variable Scan Mapping for the angle of view is fixed at “46%”.

The sensitivity of high speed shooting is lower than normal shooting. In 
order to capture more beautiful images, it is recommended to perform 
shooting in a lighted environment.

The remaining space on the media (recordable time to a SD card) runs 
out faster than usual.
(Example: For 120/60p, as the recording speed is twice as fast as 
usual, the remaining space on the media is reduced by approximately

“46%” added to setting value of Variable Scan Mapping

A fixed angle of view at “46%” for high speed shooting is added to the option 
for normal shooting.
By using the “46%” setting to perform normal shooting, it is possible to shoot 
at the same angle of view as high speed shooting.

Variable gain mode added

In addition to the 3 dB increment switching with the GAIN selection switch, it 
is possible to make finer adjustments using the iris dial.

“Variable Gain” added to menu item [Iris Dial]

“Variable Gain” is added to [Camera Function] 

 [Iris Dial].

With this additional setting value, the name of the existing option “Iris/
Shutter/AE Level” is changed to “Selectable”.

If “Selectable” is selected, the iris dial that is normally used to adjust 
the iris will be used to adjust the variable gain when the user button 
assigned with Variable Gain is pressed. It is used to adjust the shutter 
speed and the AE level when the shutter button and AE button are 
pressed respectively. Pressing the respective buttons after adjustment 
is complete confirms the setting value, and the iris dial resumes its iris 
operation.
