Overview Chapter 1  

  Slow, synchro and high speed shutter

The shutter speed can be set from a slow speed of 1/6 s up to a maximum speed of 1/7200 s *1. Combined with the variable frame rate functions, this allows you to create blurring or stop motion effects. The AG-HPX370P/AG-HPX371E also features a synchro scan function that is ideal for capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.

  Scene file dial

This dial allows you to instantly retrieve settings that suit shooting conditions. Six preset files are provided, and you can change the file names and their settings as desired. You can also save up to four files to an SD or SDHC memory card (both referred to as “SD memory card” below) and load files from an SD memory card.

  Shooting assist functions

  USER buttons:

Three USER buttons each of which can be assigned a frequently used function for immediate access.   Focus assist:

Magnifies the center portion of the image and displays a focus bar to facilitate focusing.

  Eight files for compensating lens chromatic aberration and four files for correcting shading for interchangeable lenses are provided.

  Variable color temperature:

Allows fine adjustment after setting the white balance.   REC REVIEW:

Provides a quick check of the last few seconds of the most recently recorded clip.   4-position optical ND filter provided.

  Chromatic aberration compensation (CAC)

This function automatically corrects the registration error caused by the slight chromatic aberration that the lens cannot compensate for, in order to minimize color bleeding into surrounding image areas.

  Remote control support

This camera supports the AJ-RC10G remote control unit (optional accessory) and the AG-EC4G extension control unit (optional accessory). The remote control allows you to adjust camera image and recording controls at a distance while viewing what you are shooting.

  Auto Tracking White Balance (ATW)

Automatically adjusts the white balance of the subject in real-time, a convenient function for quick adjustment in recording situations where there is no time for normal white balance adjustment.

  DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher) function

This function compresses the video signal level while maintaining contrast to extend the dynamic range making it possible to correctly render highlight areas without overexposure and loss of detail that would otherwise occur. *2

  Camera extension system support

This camera can be connected to the AG-CA300G camera adapter (optional accessory) and the AG-BS300 base station (optional accessory) to enable camera extension system recording. For details on connections to these devices, refer to the connection instructions and precautions found in the instruction manuals for the AG-CA300G and AG- BS300, and observe the instructions for the AG-HPX300P/AG-HPX301E.

 *1 This is the shutter speed value when 3.0d is configured for the synchro scan mode.  *2 The DRS function is not available in 1080/30P, 1080/24P (1080/25P) modes.
