Advanced Professional Features
Customization
The camcorder features several customization options. You can assign often-used functions to assignable buttons (A85) so that you can call up those functions with the press of a single button. You can also register frequently-used menu settings in an
6easy-to-access personal menu (My Menu, A28). Custom functions (A98) and custom onscreen displays (A98) give you even more freedom to control many aspects of the camcorder’s operation. Save custom picture and menu settings to an SD card (A99) so that you can transfer your setting preferences to other C100 camcorders in order to use them in the same way.
Time code/User bit output
The internal camcorder-generated time code can be output from the HDMI OUT terminal for easy logging and referencing (A134). Additionally, the camcorder can output also the user bit (A72).
Other Functions
Audio
When recording at the highest bit rate, you have the option to record sound as 2-channel linear PCM audio (16-bit/48 kHz). You can use the built-in microphone, ∅ 3.5 mm MIC terminal or the two XLR audio input terminals (with phantom power supply) when recording.
LCD screen and viewfinder
The LCD screen and viewfinder both have 100% frame coverage, which will ensure that you can accurately check that your shots are framed how you want them.
Video scopes
Check the brightness of the image using the waveform monitor (A80) or the focus using the edge monitor (A81).
Added and improved functionality
Other functions include the ability to down-convert your recordings to standard definition (MPEG-2) in the camcorder itself (A108), and the Intelligent System-compatible battery pack (A153).
