Slow & Quick Motion (Visual Effects) By changing the frame rate, slow- and fast-motion visual effects (Slow & Quick Motion) are available. Other visual effects include Interval Recording, Frame Recording, and Slow Shutter. NightShot Function The PMW-100 offers a NightShot® function, which adopts a built-in Infrared LED. This function helps users to shoot in extremely low light environments without any light sources. Picture Profile The Picture Profile feature allows you to easily call up customized picture-tonal settings to suit particular shooting conditions, rather than having to readjust the camera each time. Picture Profile data can be saved on SxS® memory cards, and shared with multiple PMW-100 units. Selectable Gamma Curves You can select the best-suited preset gamma curve to handle contrast and give a specific 'look' to an image. There are six types of standard gamma curve, and four types of HyperGamma which are identical to those on CineAlta™ cameras. Recording Section MXF and FAT File Format The PMW-100 can be used as a handheld camcorder for various types of file-based operation because it employs both industry-standard file formats: the MXF file format (UDF) and MP4 file format (FAT). MPEG HD422 Codec You can record Full HD video (1920x1080) at up to 50 Mbps using MPEG HD422 compression technology, and enjoy the benefits of proven, high-speed, and intuitive XDCAM HD422 workflow. With the PMW-100, you can also record video in MPEG HD or DVCAM™ format. (Note: Proxy video is not available with the PMW-100.) 1 Recording time may vary depending on models being used and settings. 2 Approximately 59.4GB 3 Actual performance varies based on settings, environmental conditions, and usage. Battery capacity decreases over time and use. 4 Based on Sony internal testing, may vary depending on conditions and usage. 4-hour Continuous Recording1 By combining the BP-U60 with two optional SBS - 6 4G1A SxS Memor y Cards (6 4 - GB SxS -1™ cards)2, you can record continuously for up to four hours. With the high-capacity Lithium-Ion battery BP-U90, you can achieve up to six hours3 of continuous operation. Cache Recording Once activated, the PMW-100 continuously streams audio and video into its internal memory. When you push the REC START button, the content buffered in the camcorder's memory is recorded onto the memory media at the start of the recording clip. The caching period can be set at up to 15 seconds. This function is useful when shooting a developing situation, such as in news gathering, so as not to miss a critical moment. Continuous Recording By activating the Continuous Recording function, multiple clips can be recorded as a single clip, which makes it easy to ingest the file to a Non Linear Editing (NLE) system. Reliable, High-speed Recording Media The XDCAM Series uses high-speed SxS PRO™ and SxS-1 memory cards for its recording media, developed specifically for professional content creation applications. These memory cards boast high-speed data transfer, which accelerates the post-production workflow. SxS memory cards are also resistant to shock and vibration4. Furthermore, Memory Stick® media, SD cards, and XQD cards can be used as emergency backup media with the appropriate adaptors.
