Explanation of Terms

ªDigital Video System

In a digital video system, images and sounds are
converted into digital signals and recorded on a
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of
recording and playback with minimal image and
sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as
Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Movie Camera employs a digital
system for recording image and sound data, it is
not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment that employs an analog
recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassettes are also
different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal
output socket is analog (the same as
conventional video systems), this Movie Camera
can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a
TV for playback.

ªFocus

Auto Focus Adjustment

The Auto Focus System automatically moves
forward and backward the focusing lens inside
the Movie Camera to bring the subject into focus
so that the subject can be seen clearly.
However, the Auto Focus System does not
function properly for the following subjects or
under the following recording conditions.
Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1) Recording a subject whose o ne end is
located closer to the Movie Camera and
the other end farther away from it
≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at
the centre of an image, it may be impossible
to focus on a subject that is located in both
foreground and background.
2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty
glass
≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the
subject behind the glass will not be focused.
3) Recording a subject in dark su rroundings
≥Because the light information that comes
through the lens decreases considerably,
the Movie Camera cannot focus correctly.
4) Recording a subject that is su rrounded by
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly
reflective objects
≥Because the Movie Camera focuses on the
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly
reflective objects, the recording subject may
become blurry.
