able to reach a stable state, and as a result the image

brightness keeps changing, alternately lighter and darker.

2) Depth of field: This is the range over which the subject

is sharply in focus.

Basic Procedure for Shooting

Chapter 3 Shooting

Reviewing the recording

It is possible to review the last few seconds of the

recording on the tape (recording review).

Press the VTR button to pause recording, then press

the RET button on the lens.

Depending on how long the button is pressed, the tape

is automatically rewound over the last two to ten

seconds from the paused position, and then this part is

played back in the viewfinder. If the RET button is

kept pressing, about ten seconds of the recording

review is possible.

The VTR then returns to the paused state.

Note

This function may not be provided by some VTRs.

Refer to the instructions for the VTR.

Using the DynaLatitude Function

This function detects the bright and dark parts of the

subject and automatically adjusts for the appropriate

contrast. The DynaLatitude function enables fine-

grained contrast adjustment according to the

luminance level of each pixel. It is effective when

shooting scenes with mixed light and dark parts.

However, the brightness of the subject on the screen

may change if the subject moves during shooting.

Also, for some subjects, there may be increased noise

in dark sections of the picture.

For information on turning this function on and off, see

page 64. For information on setting effect levels, see page

59.
