4)
Recording a subject that is surrounded by
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly
reflective objects
Because the Palmcorder focuses on the
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly
reflective objects, the recording subject may
become blurry.
5)
Recording a fast-moving subject
Because the focus lens inside moves
mechanically, it may not be able to keep up
with the fast-moving subject.
6)
Recording a subject with little contrast
Because the Palmcorder achieves focus
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a
subject with little contrast, such as a white
wall, may become blurry.
ª
White Balance Adjustment
Depending on the type of light source, the colors
recorded by the Palmcorder may be affected. In
some cases, images may be recorded with a bluish
or reddish hue. To minimize the effect of light on the
subject’s color, White Balance Adjustment becomes
necessary.
White Balance Adjustment
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of
light and makes adjustment so that the white color
will become pure white.
Auto White Balance Adjustment
This Palmcorder stores settings that are optimal for
several kinds of general light sources. The
Palmcorder determines the hue of light that it
receives through the lens and White Balance
Sensor, thereby judging the recording condition, and
selects the closest hue setting. This function is
called Auto White Balance Adjustment.
However, since white balance settings for only
certain 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 setting values.
ª
Time Code
Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames
(30 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.
When 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 [0h00m00s00f] 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 Camera Search Function
(
l
28)
or the
Blank Search Function
(
l
45)
before recording a
new scene.
