Notes
• If you move the ND FILTER switch during
recording, the picture and sound may be
distorted.
• If you adjust the iris manually, no ND filter
indicator will appear even if the ND filter
should be activated.
z
Tip
• If you close the iris extensively when recording
a bright subject, diffraction may occur, resulting
in a fuzzy focus (this is a common phenomenon
with video cameras). The ND filter suppresses
this phenomenon and gives better recording
results.
If there is a part of the screen where
brightness is over a certain level, the part
may appear excessively white when played
back. By displaying the zebra pattern on
such a part, you can be reminded to adjust
the brightness before recording.
Select the brightness level to display the
zebra pattern with the ZEBRA switch
E
,
then the zebra pattern will appear.
Select the brilliance value from [70] or
[100].
If you select [70], the zebra pattern appears
at the part with 70±5 % of the brilliance
signal.
If you select [100], the zebra pattern
appears at the part with 100% or more.
To hide the zebra pattern
• Set the ZEBRA switch
E
to OFF.
b
Note
• The zebra pattern is not recorded on the tape.
z
Tip
• This is convenient for adjusting the brightness
while a histogram (p. 65) is displayed.
You can adjust the gain manually when
shooting blackish or dark objects if you do
not want the AGC (auto gain control) to be
activated.
