7 Hold down the mode button (for 2 or more seconds) to release dubbing mode.

In the VCR setting menu, setting the TCG option in RECORDING SETUP to FREE RUN enables the timecode used by the clip to be transferred to the tape.

In the case of a clip recorded in four channels, the audio of channels 3 and 4 will not be transferred during the dubbing process.

The dubbing IN points may be slightly ahead of or behind their actual positions.

If the FORMAT SEL item on the DUBBING SETUP screen is changed to 1080i/24P, 720P/24P or 720P/24PN after dubbing with the 1080i/60i, 1080i/30P, 720P/60P, 720P/30P or 720P/30PN format, the dubbing IN point may be delayed for several dozen frames.

In the case of clips recorded continuously onto three or more cards, dub the clips on two of the cards first. After this, stop the dubbing, and replace the cards with the third and subsequent cards. Then resume the dubbing. (These steps are taken because hot swap playback cannot be performed.)

In the dubbing mode, even if an attempt is made to allocate SHOT MARK, INDEX/MEMO or SLOT

SEL to a USER button, the allocated operation

will not be executed. However, the allocated USER button information will be displayed when the DISP/MODE CHK button is held down.

AG-HVX200AP specifications

The Panasonic AG-HVX200AP is a highly regarded camcorder that has made a significant mark in the world of professional video production. Launched to cater to the demands of filmmakers and videographers, this camera combines versatility, portability, and high-quality imaging capabilities.

One of the standout features of the AG-HVX200AP is its ability to record video in both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) formats.

Another key technology incorporated into the AG-HVX200AP is its variable frame rate (VFR) capability, which allows filmmakers to shoot at different frame rates, including slow motion and fast-motion effects. This feature enables creative storytelling techniques and adds a unique flair to the final product.

The AG-HVX200AP also boasts an ergonomic design, making it easy to handle during extended shooting sessions. Its lightweight body and well-placed controls enhance usability, allowing operators to focus on their craft rather than fumbling with equipment. The camera comes equipped with a 20x optical zoom lens, providing excellent versatility in framing shots without losing image quality.

Connectivity options are another highlight of the AG-HVX200AP. With multiple outputs, including firewire and video component, users can easily integrate the camera into various workflows, from live productions to post-production editing.

In conclusion, the Panasonic AG-HVX200AP is a powerful tool for professionals who seek high-quality video production. Its combination of advanced imaging technologies, flexible recording options, and user-friendly design makes it a compelling choice for anyone in the filmmaking industry. Whether for independent films, corporate videos, or event coverage, the AG-HVX200AP delivers outstanding performance that filmmakers can rely on.
