MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS for Adjustment

Zebra patterns are oblique stripes than can be displayed to indicate very bright areas of the screen. Areas where zebra patterns are indicated are likely to be blurred with white if left unadjusted. The zebra patterns can be used as a reference for manual adjustment of the brightness to adjust to the optimal level.

Additionally, both camcorders come equipped with a built-in ND (neutral density) filter, enabling filmmakers to control light exposure creatively without compromising on depth of field.

The user interface of the GY-DV300 and GY-DV301 is designed with professionals in mind. The camcorders offer manual controls for focus, iris, and white balance, allowing users to have precise control over their shooting parameters. The ergonomic design ensures that the camcorders are comfortable to use over extended periods, with a range of customizable buttons and settings readily accessible.
