ªCard PhotoShot

The sound cannot be recorded. The Shutter Effect cannot be used.

The Progressive Function is set to [ON]. The shutter speed becomes 1/50-1/500.

(or 1/25-1/500: for Mega Pixel Recording)

When viewed on a TV or liquid crystal monitor, image quality deteriorates slightly.

The screen becomes sligtly wider.

Mega-pixel images cannot be recorded on a cassette as a Mega-pixel picture.

Digital zooming (l20), Digital effects (l24, 25) and Cinema Mode (l21) are disabled during Card Photoshot recording.

Title in/Title creation (l40) and Image Stabilizer Function (l20) are disabled during Mega-Pixel recording.

ªRecording Moving Picture (MPEG4)/

Recording Voice (Voice Recording)

MPEG stands for Motion Picture Expert Group, a name of colour moving picture format. MPEG4 uses ASF(Advanced Streaming Format) for recording and can be played back with Windows Media Player. Because of small size, this File is well suited for transmitting data through telephone lines etc.

The video resolution of the camera is reduced when making an MPEG4 recording. This is done in order to optimize the image quality in MPEG4 recordings, and does not reflect a problem with the software or hardware.

The recorded Voice file is automatically locked (to prevent accidental erasure).

Sound is recorded mono.

The shutter speed becomes 1/50-1/500. (MPEG4 only) The following functions cannot be used:

Digital zooming (l20) Digital effects (l24, 25) Cinema Mode (l21) Fade in/out (l20)

Title in/Title creation (l40)

ªVideo Flash

When the [FLASH] on the [RECORDING SETUP] Sub- Menu is set to [AUTO] and the Movie Camera’s shutter speed or iris is adjusted, the [ß] Indication may disappear and the Video Flash may not fire.

The shutter speed and iris value, white balance Mode are fixed when the Video Flash is used.

Using the Video Flash outdoors or with backlight or other bright conditions may result in white blotches (colour blotches) on the pictures.

Under backlight conditions, either adjust the iris manually or use the Backlight Compensation Function.

If flash is fired in front of white background, the recorded object may be dark.

If a Lens Hood or a Conversion Lens is attached, flashlight may be blocked and become vignetting.

ªPlaying Back a Card

If a blank (nothing recorded) Card is played, the screen becomes white and the [NO FILE] Indication appears.

If you try to play back a file recorded in a different format or

a picture whose image data is defective, the [t] Indication and the [CARD ERROR] indication may appear as warnings.

This Movie Camera can also play back the Mega-Pixel still pictures recorded with the other equipment. However it takes longer than usual.

When playing back a picture recorded by another equipment, its size and that of this Movie Camera may be indicated differently.

There are no hardware or software compatible with the voice data. Even our Movie Camera products (NV-MX7), SD-Juke box and IC recorders (RR-XR320)compatible with SD memory card cannot playback the voice data.

If the object is moving fast or zoom is used when playing back Moving Picture (MPEG4), picture may appear to be

still or produce mosaic: this is not a malfunction.

Do not switch [PICTURE/MPEG4/VOICE] selector switch while playing back.

ªVoice Power Save

This function is available when playing back Voice data only. When [VOICE POWER SAVE] on the [OTHER FUNCTION] Sub-Menu is set to [ON], the Power Saving Function is activated, and several seconds after the play and other operations the display is cleared, and the screen becomes dark.

However, this function does not work during menu screen operations or while the volume is being adjusted.

The Power Saving Function is released when any operation is performed.

Do not forget to turn off the power.

ªSlide Show

The playback time can be set from 5 to 99 seconds. Perform the Slide Show settings with your own Movie

Camera in use.

It may take playback time longer than usual time depending on the picture.

If you perform the Slide Show after the Titles are displayed, the Titles disappear.

During the Slide Show, adding the title is not possible.

Slide Show cannot be set up with Moving File (MPEG4) or Voice File.

ªCreating a Title

Even if the contrast of the Title is adjusted, the portions where there is little difference between light and dark and where the boundary between light and dark is unclear may not appear.

The Title may not appear well if something small is used for it.

If titles are created, the number of images that can be recorded on a Card decreases.

If the number of images that can be recorded on a Card is small, you may not be able to create a title.

Regardless of the [PICTURE SIZE] setting, the size of the created title picture is [640t480].

The [CREATE TITLE] cannot be selected when [1200t900] has been selected as the [PICTURE SIZE] setting while the [TAPE/CARD] Selector is set to [CARD].
