[SP]: To record in the SP (Standard Play) mode

LP: Long Play—more economical, providing 1.5 times the recording time.

NOTES:

●Audio Dubbing ( pg. 54) and Insert Editing

( pg. 55) are possible on tapes recorded in the SP mode.

●If the recording mode is switched, the playback picture will be blurred at the switching point.

●It is recommended that tapes recorded in the LP mode on this camcorder be played back on this camcorder.

●During playback of a tape recorded on another camcorder, blocks of noise may appear or there may be momentary pauses in the sound.

SOUND MODE

[12BIT]: Enables video recording of stereo sound on four separate channels, and is necessary for use when performing Audio Dubbing. (Equivalent to the 32 kHz mode of previous models)

16BIT: Enables video recording of stereo sound on two separate channels. (Equivalent to the 48 kHz mode of previous models)

ZOOM

15X: When set to “15X” while using digital zoom, the zoom magnification will be limited to 15X since digital zoom will be disengaged.

[60X]*: Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and magnifying images, zooming is possible beyond 15X (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 60X digital magnification.

700X*: Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and magnifying images, zooming is possible beyond 15X (the optical zoom limit), to a maximum of 700X digital magnification.

For details on the procedure, refer to “Live Slow (GR-DF470/450 only)” ( pg. 42) and “Snapshot (For Video Recording)” ( pg. 43).

GAIN UP

OFF: Allows you to shoot dark scenes with no picture brightness adjustment.

[AGC]: The overall appearance may be grainy, but the image is bright.

AUTO : The shutter speed is automatically adjusted. Shooting a subject in low or poor lighting at slow shutter speed provides a brighter image than in the AGC mode, but the subject’s movements are not smooth or natural. The overall appearance may be grainy. While the shutter speed is being automatically adjusted,

“” is displayed.

NAVIGATION (GR-DF470/450 only)

[MANUAL]: Enables thumbnail images to be made manually. ( pg. 49)

5SEC / 15SEC / 30SEC / 60SEC:

The captured image is stored in the memory card as a thumbnail image when the recording time is over the navigation time.

For example, “5SEC” is suitable to record short scenes with the thumbnail images. ( pg. 48) However, the stored thumbnail images may take up a lot of memory. In this case, using the memory card with large capacity is recommended.

OFF: Disables the function.

●The “” indicator appears when “NAVIGATION” is set to other than “MANUAL” and “OFF”.
