shooting under very poor lighting conditions.

• You can easily recall sets of adjustment values from 

memory, to match the particular lighting conditions.

• The  ATW

 function provides automatic white balance 

adjustment in response to changing lighting conditions.

TM

 

2) 

process yields distortion-free video, 

even with high intensity colors.

• The TURBO GAIN button enables an instantaneous 

boost of the video gain to the maximum 48 dB.

1) ATW: Auto Tracing White balance
2) TruEye: “TruEye” is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.

This allows a still image from the previously captured 
video to be aligned with the video output from the camera. 
Thus you can adjust the camera position to get exactly the 
same framing for new shooting.

The menus provide the following operations, amongst 
others.
• Status display, message, and marker display settings
• Camera adjustment settings
• Switch function assignment
• “Memory Stick” operations
You can also assign any settings to the USER menu, to 
create customized menus.

Using an “Memory Stick”

1)

, you can save menu settings 

for particular shooting conditions, for recall as required.

1) “Memory Stick” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

The 2-inch monochrome viewfinder allows accurate 
focusing.
The switch settings, automatic black balance and white 
balance items, status, warnings and so on appear on the 
viewfinder screen.

Each time you start and stop recording, this creates an 
independent clip. During playback, you can jump to any 
clip, to check the recorded video.
• During recording, material is always written to unused 

parts of the disc. Therefore, even when playing back 
between shooting sessions, there is no danger of 
inadvertently overwriting the previous recording.

• Immediately after recording, you can delete clips you 

decide not to keep, allowing efficient use of the available 
disc capacity.

Together with the recorded video and audio, a variety of 
additional information is recorded as metadata on the disc.
• Using simultaneous recording of proxi AV data (low rate 

video and audio: video around 1.5 Mbps, and each audio 
channel 64 kbps), high-speed transfer to an external 
editor or video and audio transfer over a low bandwidth 
network is possible.

• It is also possible to record a variety of metadata such as 

a camera ID, disc number, scene number, and so on. 
Such metadata offers a great advantage when searching 
for data in subsequent processes.

Video and audio for a maximum of 10 seconds is always 
held in memory, so that when you start recording, it is 
possible to record from just before the REC START button 
was pressed.

You can record video intermittently, capturing any number 
of frames at any desired time interval.
