71VQT3K80 Recording motion pictures with more vivid colours, using x.v.Colour™ technology. ≥ Switch to manual mode. ( l80) ≥ Set [REC MODE] to [HA], [HG], [HX] or [HE] ( l64), or set to 1080/50p recording mode. ( l53) ≥ For more realistic colours, use an HDMI mini cable with a TV that supports the x.v.Colour ™. ≥ When connecting this unit to a TV with the AV multi cable, the TV cannot detect the digital cinema colour setting on this unit automatically. We recommend connecting this unit to TVs compatible with x.v.Colour ™ using an HDMI mini cable. ≥ When viewing on the TV with the digital cinema colour function, turn off the digital cinema colour function on the TV. ≥When motion pictures recorded while this function is turned [ON] are played back with a TV not compatible with x.v.Colour™, colours may not be reproduced properly. ≥ To play back images recorded in the digital cinema colour with vivid colours of wider colour ranges, a device compatible with x.v.Colour ™ is required. When these images are played back with devices other than ones compatible with x.v.Colour™, it is recommended to record the images after this function is turned [OFF]. ≥ x.v.Colour ™ is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission. Message is displayed when this unit is moved rapidly. When “CAMERA PANNING IS TOO FAST.” appears, move the unit slowly while recording. ≥ Message will not appear while pausing the recording. (Message will appear even if it is pausing the recording if [DEMO MODE] is set to [ON].)

72VQT3K80 This will reduce the wind noise coming into the built-in microphones while maintaining the realism. ≥ Switch to manual mode. ( l80) ≥This function’s default setting is [ON]. ≥ When switching to intelligent auto mode, [WIND NOISE CANCELLER] is set to [ON], and the setting cannot be changed. ≥ You may not see the full effect depending on the recording conditions. ≥ If wind sound cannot be reduced with the wind noise canceller function alone, set [BASS SETTING] to [LOWCUT]. ( l74) Recording setting of the built-in microphone can be adjusted. ≥ Switch to manual mode. ( l80) ≥If you wish to record higher quality sound and maintain realism even when zooming in, for instance recording a music reci tal, we recommend setting [MIC SETUP] to [SURROUND]. ≥ If you have an external microphone connected when recording in [iFrame], [MIC SETUP] is set to [STEREO MIC] automatically. [WIND NOISE CANCELLER] : [RECORD SETUP] # [WIND NOISE CANCELLER] # [ON] [MIC SETUP] : [RECORD SETUP] # [MIC SETUP] # desired setting [SURROUND]:Sound is recorded with 5.1 ch surround microphone. [ZOOM MIC]:Directivity of the microphone is interlocked with the zoom operation. Sounds near the front of the unit are recorded more clearly if you zoom in (close-up) and surrounding sounds are recorded more realistically if you zoom out (wide angle). [FOCUS MIC]:Directivity of the centre is enhanced for recording audio near the front of the unit more clearly. [STEREO MIC]:Sound from two directions is recorded in 2 ch by forward-facing stereo microphones. MENU MENU HDC-SD900&TM900&HS900EB-VQT3K80_eng.book 72 ページ 2010年12月29日 水曜日 午後2時50分
