5) Recording a fast-moving subject
®Because the focus lens inside moves
mechanically, it cannot keep up with the fast-
moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast
Because the Movie Camera achieves focus
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a
subject with little contrast, such as a white
wall, may become blurry.
Hi White Balance Adjustment
Depending on the type of light source, the colours
recorded by the Movie Camera may be affected. In
some cases, images may be recorded with bluish or
reddish hue. To minimize the effect of light on the
subject’s colour, what is called White Balance
Adjustment becomes necessary.
White Balance Adjustment
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour of
light and makes adjustment so that the white colour
will become pure white.
Automatic White Balance Adjustment
This Movie Camera stores settings that are optimal
for
several
kinds
of
general
light
sources.
The
Movie
Camera determines the hue of light that it receives
through the Lens, thereby judging the recording
condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This
function is called Automatic White Balance
Adjustment.
However, since white balance settings for only
several kinds of light sources are stored, the Auto
White Balance Function does not operate properly
when recording occurs under light that is out of the
range of the setup values.
Wi Time Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured
in
hours,
minutes,
seconds,
and
frames
(25 frames per second), If this data is included in a
recording, an address is assigned to each image on
the tape.
@The Time Code is automatically recorded as a part
of the sub-code at each recording.
eWhen a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is
inserted, the Time Code automatically starts from
zero.
If
a
recorded
Cassette
is
inserted,
the
Time
Code picks up from the point where the last scene
was recorded. (In this case, when the Cassette is
inserted, the zero display [OhOOmO0sO0f] may
appear, but the Time Code starts from the
previous value.)
The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
@ Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded
from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing may
not be possible. To ensure that the Time Code will
be recorded with no breaks, we recommend the
use of the Blank Search Function (~> 34) before
recording a new scene.
