manual abstract
Set the mode switch to to select one of the recording programs. The Special Scene recording programs ( 36) offer a convenient way to select the optimal settings to match special recording conditions; and with the flexible recording programs ( 38) you can set the shutter speed manually, or enjoy the flexibility to change other settings. Video • 29 Selecting the Video Quality (Recording Mode) The camcorder offers 3 recording modes. Changing the recording mode will change the recording time available on the disc. Select XP mode for better movie quality; select LP mode for longer recording times. The following table gives approximate recording times with a brand new DVD disc (on a single recording side). .. Default value Recording mode Disc type DVD-R, DVD-RW DVD-R DL 20 min. 36 min. • 30 min. 54 min. 60 min. 108 min. FUNC. ( 21) [ STANDARD PLAY 6 Mbps] Desired recording mode FUNC. NOTES • In LP mode, recordings are more liable to be affected by imperfections of the disc used or recording conditions and you may experience some anomalies (blocky video artifacts, banding, skipping audio, etc.) during playback. We recommend using XP or SP mode for important recordings. • The camcorder uses a variable bit rate (VBR) to encode video so the actual recording times will vary depending on the content of the scenes. Changing the Aspect Ratio of the Recordings (Widescreen / 4:3) The default aspect ratio of movies is 16:9 (widescreen). Follow the procedure below to change it to 4:3. ( 21) FUNC. FUNC. [ MENU] [ CAMERA SETUP] [WIDESCREEN] [ OFF] NOTES • Playing back a widescreen recording: TV sets compatible with the Video ID-1 system will switch automatically to 16:9 mode. Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV manually. • To play back on a TV with normal aspect ratio (4:3) change the [TV TYPE] setting accordingly ( 72). Zooming: Optical, Advanced and Digital Zoom The camcorder offers three types of zoom when recording movies: optical, advanced and digital zoom (In mode, only the optical zoom is available.) You can also change the zoom speed. 30 • Video Selecting the Zoom Type ( 21) Options .. Default value [OPTICAL] (37x) The zoom range is limited to the optical magnification ratio of the lens. [ADVANCED].. (Advanced Zoom) In addition to the optical zoom range, the camcorder processes the image digitally to obtain a larger zoom range without any deterioration in image quality. When recording movies with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the angle of view will change. Refer to the table in the NOTES section. [DIGITAL] (2000x) When this option is selected, the camcorder will switch to digital zoom (light blue area on the zoom indicator) when you zoom in beyond the optical zoom range (white area on the zoom indicator). With the digital zoom the image is processed digitally so image quality will deteriorate the more you zoom in. FUNC. [ MENU] [ CAMERA SETUP] [ZOOM TYPE] Desired option FUNC.
