Shooting techniques for different targets (cont.)

Field and frame shooting

This camera-recorder normally shoots scenes using field recording (50 fields per second). When “FRAME” has been selected as the REC MODE setting for the SETTING item on the SCENE FILE screen using the menus (P67- P70), scenes can be shot using frame recording (25 frames per second). (P72)

When playing back still pictures, high-quality images can be obtained.

O If normal (moving image) playback is performed, the images will appear jerky.

When you are going to shoot scenes using frame recording, we recommend that you set the shutter speed to 1/50. (P42)

Frame-by-frame shooting

When “ON” has been selected as the ONE- SHOT REC item setting on the RECORDING SETUP screen using the menus (P67-P70), frame-by-frame shooting can be performed. (P76)

The number of seconds for the shooting is set using the REC TIME item on the same screen. When the START/STOP button is pressed, shooting is initiated for the number of seconds set, and then the shooting pause mode is established.

O When the frame-by-frame shooting mode is set, an asterisk (2) at the left of the VCR’s operating mode on the screen blinks. When recording is started, the asterisk stops blinking and lights.

O Even if the frame-by-frame shooting mode has been set, it is cancelled when the power is turned OFF.

Changing the image size

This camera-recorder allows you to change the size (aspect ratio) of the images recorded on tape.

Use the menus (P67-P70)to select the desired setting for the ASPECT CONV item on the CAMERA SETUP screen. (P72)

NORMAL:

Images are recorded with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

LETTER BOX:

Images are recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Black bands are recorded at the top and bottom of the screen.

SQUEEZE:

The camera images are squeezed horizontally and recorded. When images recorded in this mode are played back on a TV monitor that supports the wide screen format, they are displayed with the 16:9 aspect ratio.

When SQUEEZE has been selected as the item’s setting, “SQU” is displayed on the screen.

O When the mode is switched to SQUEEZE, the screen image may be disrupted for an instant. This is not a sign of malfunctioning.

O The image quality may deteriorate when images recorded at the SQUEEZE setting are played back.
