Synchro scan
Set the shutter speed of the synchro scan (used when shooting a television or computer monitor) in the setup menus, SCENE FILE screen, SYNCRO SCAN. (Page 97)
•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.
•When the OPERATION TYPE option in the SCENE FILE screen (Page 97) is set to FILM CAM, the shutter opening angle can be adjusted from 10° to 360° in 0.5° steps.
Example: When the recording frame rate is set to 25 fps and the exposure time is halved, 1/25 ÷2 = 1/50 = 180° (1/25 = 360°)
In the default setting (180°), this becomes 1/2 of the exposure time. If it were 90°, it would be 1/4, and if it were 45°, it would be 1/8 of the exposure time.
(Shutter opening angle: This is equivalent to the shutter speed of a film camera, and a wider angle results in a longer exposure to light.)
•If the shutter speed is displayed in blue characters followed by (1/50), you cannot change the shutter speed in the blue characters while the current recording format is used. The speed is fixed at (1/50).
You can change the progressive mode in the setup menu with REC FORMAT in the RECORDING SETUP screen. (Page 103)
