Full-HD (1080p) Variable Frame Rate Recording. An AVCHD Recording for Creative, High-Quality Image Production.
SMPTE Time-Code Recording and
Synchro Function
The built-in SMPTE time-code generator lets
you select the Drop Frame/Non-Drop Frame
and Free Run/Rec Run modes and preset.
User bits are also provided.
Connecting two cameras with a TC preset
in/out (video out) connector allows the
slave camera, to synchronize with the
master camera*.
*After synchronization, each camera’s time-code runs
separately and not be guaranteed to match precisely.
Still Image Capture (Still Picture)
A frame can be captured from HD video as a
still image equivalent to two megapixels
(1920 x 1080).
* Still images cannot be captured during motion image
recording or in Pre-rec mode.
Camera Metadata Recording
Camera settings for recording operation can
be saved as metadata in a clip file. By
loading a clip file, the saved settings can be
immediately applied.

contrast differences and reduces depth
perception, HDV shows considerable block
noise, while AVCHD in PH mode minimizes
break-up.
