4 AVCHD/MP4 recording and dual recording When you record, you can choose between AVCHD and MP4 formats (A 33). You can also use dual recording (A 41) to record the same scene to both memory cards and even record on both memory cards using different formats. Dual recording is convenient, for example, to create a backup of your recording. Special recording modes (A 43, 85) When you make recordings, you can change the recording frame rate to achieve a fast or slow motion effect. Alternatively, you can use pre-recording to record 3 seconds before you decide to start recording, helping you capture those hard-to-catch opportunities. Other Features Versatile audio connectivity You can use the built-in microphone, MIC terminal or the two INPUT terminals when recording. When using the INPUT terminals, you can even use microphones that require phantom power. Audio scene select With the audio scene select function (A 76), you can optimize the audio settings of the built-in microphone by selecting the audio scene that matches your surroundings. Your audience will feel even more immersed in the scene during playback. LCD screen and viewfinder The LCD screen and viewfinder both have 100% frame coverage, which will ensure that you can accurately check that your shots are framed how you want them. The LCD screen has incredible clarity, which is indispensible in checking the details of those important shots. The viewfinder can be tilted 45 degrees upward, which gives you additional range and versatility while you shoot. Touch AE By simply touching the screen, you can make dark areas in the picture appear brighter (A 61). This operation is simple yet allows you to shoot with the desired exposure. Additional functions Other functions include relay recording (A 41), which allows you to continue recording on the other memory card when one becomes full, and converting scenes to MP4 (A 114).
