Synchro scan

The synchro scan shutter speed used when the shooting screens such as a television screen or computer monitor is set using the <SHTR/F.RATE> dial (Page 37), or the [SYNCHRO SCAN] item on the setup menu [SCENE FILE] screen. (Page 83)

•Adjust the shutter speed to match the frequency of the television or computer monitor to minimize the horizontal noise that appears when shooting such subjects.

•By switching to progressive mode, you can also shoot the PAL system television screens.

•If the set value of the [SYNCHRO SCAN] item on the setup menu [SCENE FILE] screen is displayed in gray, it cannot be used with the current recording format. This function will only operate for preset values for each recording format.

The preset values for each recording format are as follows. ([SYNC SCAN TYPE] = [sec]) 60i/60P mode: 1/60 second

30P mode: 1/30 second

24P mode: 1/24 second

50i/50P mode: 1/50 second

25P mode: 1/25 second

You can change the progressive mode with the [REC FORMAT] item on the setup menu [RECORDING SETUP] screen. (Page 89)
