HANDYCAM Smooth Slow Record
Smooth Slow Record allows you to record fast action scenes and
p
lay them back smoothly in slow
motion. It can be used to analyze a golf swing or tennis stroke. Three seconds of footage is recorded
at a Hi
g
her (100fps) frame rate and then played back over 1
2
seconds at normal speed (
2
5fps).
The net result is that the motion is slowed down to quarter speed without any o
f
the
j
erkiness that
would usually occur. You can even decide to record the
3
seconds of footage after it has occurred so
that
y
ou never miss that ‘one o
ff
’ event.

HANDYCAM HDD Smart Protection System
All Sony HDD Handycams have a unique HDD protection system to protect the Hard Drive and
prevent data loss. A mechanically-floating
S
hock Absorber is built in to protect the HDD from physical
j
ars and a 3G Gravity Sensor detects a fall or bump takin
g
place and removes the HDD write head
f
rom the platter to stop any physical contact that may occur. Finally, a Video Stream Buffer enables
video to continue recordin
g
even durin
g
a
f
all or bump. While the HDD head is removed
f
rom writin
g
,
the video in
f
ormation is stored in bu
ff
er memory and is written to the disc once the
f
all or bump has
c
eased and the HDD has returned to normal operation
.
