Outputting the Color

Bars and Reference

Tone

The camcorder can output a color-bar signal in place of the camera picture.

A 1-kHz reference tone is output with the color bar signal if “1kHz Tone” of “Audio Input” (page

 

102) is set to “On” with the AUDIO SET menu.

Recording

The color-bar signal and reference-tone signal are

also fed out from the SDI OUT, COMPONENT

 

 

OUT, and A/V OUT connectors.

Press the BARS/CAM button.

The camera picture is switched to color bars. To return to the camera picture, press the button again.

You can select the type of color bars with “Color Bar Type” (page 99) of the CAMERA SET menu. Multi: ARIB multiformat color bars

75%: Vertical stripes of 75% luminance

100%: Vertical stripes of 100% luminance

Notes

•When recording of the camera image is in progress, it cannot be switched to the color-bar picture even if you press the BARS/CAM button. (You can switch the color-bar picture to the camera picture.)

•The color bar mode cannot be selected in Slow & Quick Motion mode and EX Slow Shutter

mode.

Recording Shot Marks

When you record shot marks for important scenes as subsidiary data, you can access the marked points easily on a Shot Mark screen, which only displays scenes with shot marks only. This increases editing efficiency.

For the Shot Mark Screen, see “Displaying the SHOT MARK Screen” on page 86.

The camcorder permits you to record two types of shot marks: shot mark 1 and shot mark 2.

Shot marks can be recorded as needed during recording or can be added after recording while checking the playback pictures.

Inserting a shot mark during recording

Activate the IR Remote Commander (page 28), and use the SHOTMARK 1 or 2 button.

Press the SHOTMARK 1 or 2 button where you wish to insert a mark.

If the Shot Mark1 or Shot Mark2 function is assigned to an assignable button, you can also use it instead (page 57).

A shot mark of the type corresponding to the button you press is recorded.

For operations to add shot marks after recording, see “Adding shot marks during playback” on page 81 and “Adding/Deleting Shot Marks” on page 87.
