Description of Progressive Scan CCD
Progressive Scan is a special image sensing method which, unlike conventional interlace scanning, is able to pick up all the lines of picture information in one Scan. Since the Progressive Scan CCD is capable of outputting 50 full Frames* per second twice the amount of conventional systems it is able to deliver a high quality picture even when its output signal is converted to a format that can be viewed on a TV screen. * A PAL TV screen image is composed of 25 Frames per second. 1 Frame is made up of 2 Fields.

1 Frame Scan A Scan B

1. Regular shooting of moving images
Records 25 odd and 25 even image Fields, for a total of 50 per second. Since there is a time lag between an odd and even Field, when they are combined to make 1 Frame the part of the image that is moving appears as image jitter. However, during normal playback, the moving picture looks smooth and natural.
2. Progressive mode shooting of moving images (Progressive Mode Recording pg. 22)
Scan A is recorded, divided into an odd- and even-number Field, and then Scan B is skipped. Scans C and D are handled in the same way as Scans A and B, as illustrated below, thereby recording 25 Frames per second. Since each recorded odd- and even-number Field originates from the same Scan there is no time lag between them, and so when they are combined into a Frame and a still image is displayed on a TV or PC monitor the picture does not look jittery. However, when moving images are played back, the picture can look unnatural.

SLOW (Slow Shutter)*4 Lights dark subjects or areas even brighter than they would be under good natural lighting. Use SLOW only in dark areas. SLOW 1 Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity to allow shooting in dark environments. SLOW 2 Slow Shutter raises light sensitivity further to allow shooting in even darker environments. NOTES: When using SLOW, the image takes on a strobe-like effect. If the manual focus indicator blinks when SLOW is used, adjust focus manually and use a tripod. SHUTTER (Variable Shutter Speed) 1/50 The shutter speed is fixed at 1/50th of a second. Black bands that usually appear when shooting a TV screen become narrower. 1/100 The shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th of a second. The flickering that occurs when shooting under a fluorescent light or mercury-vapour lamp is reduced. 1/250 This setting allows fast-moving images to be captured one frame at a time, for vivid, stable slowmotion playback. The faster the shutter speed, the darker the picture becomes. Use the shutter function under good lighting conditions.

Iris Like the pupil of the human eye, it contracts in welllit environments to keep too much light from entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in more light.

White Balance Adjustment

A term that refers to the correctness of colour reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all other colours will be accurately reproduced. The white balance is usually adjusted automatically. However, more advanced camcorder operators control this function manually to achieve a more professional colour/tint reproduction.
Manual White Balance Operation

NOTE: White balance cannot be used when Sepia or Monotone ( pg. 36) is activated.
To Change The Tint For Recording. in step 2, substitute coloured paper for white. The white balance is adjusted based on the colour, changing the tint. Red paper = deeper green; blue paper = orange; yellow paper = deeper purple.
NOTES: In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually ( pg. 25). A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result. Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.

To Reset The Setting. select RESET in step 5. The setting is reset to 0 for all still images.
