Camcorder Operation – Convenient Features and a Variety of Accessories
Compact and Lightweight
The DSR-PD100 is a highly portable

camcorder, which weighs just 1 kg (2.2 lbs) with a battery and a tape. A magnesium alloy die cast body keeps it light but robust. This mobility is a major asset in the field of professional acquisition.

Color 3.5-inch LCD Monitor

The DSR-PD100 has a large 3.5-inch color LCD monitor with 184,000 pixels, opening 90 degrees to the side and swiveling 180 degrees. It allows the user to shoot the object in low and high

angle conditions while monitoring the picture. The LCD is also useful for viewing a recorded tape,

or stored picture.

The DSR-PD100 can record high quality still images with the progressive scan CCDs on both tape and removable memory media.

1) Tape Photo Mode

The still images scanned in interlace or progressive scan mode can be recorded on the tape.

2) Memory Photo Mode

The still images scanned in the progressive scan mode are recorded onto a removable memory media. Depending on the subject, you can select the picture quality from three modes: Super Fine (SFN), Fine (FIN) or Standard (STD).
