What is Smooth Slow Rec.?
The display capture of this page CANNOT be used
in catalog nor WEB. We will upload into the M-net
for printing level capture images.
Functions limited to the models with single
ClearVid CMOS Sensor.

• The high-speed reading of the ClearVid CMOS
  Sensor and the high-speed signal processing
  technology of the new EIP enable high-speed
  photography previously unavailable for
  conventional personal video cameras.
• The world of 240 field/S high-speed photography
  previously unavailable can now be done with ease
  by anyone.
• Quick motions like in sports or the flapping of a
  birds wings that cannot be seen by the naked eye
  can now be recorded and played back in smooth
  slow motion images.

Normal Operating Mode
High-speed Photography Mode
60(NTSC) or 50(PAL) field/sec
240(NTSC) or 200(PAL) field/sec
Reads at four times more field numbers per second
than normal photography mode.

• Recommended for these situations!!

Decisive moments in sport dramatically captured!!
A fantastic world!!

Smooth Slow Rec. mechanism

• Mechanism for Recording High-Quality Slow Motion
  Images
• The total output pixel numbers are reduced
  through an addition process of a suitable
  amount of pixels, and frame rate is increased by
  the number of pixels that have been reduced as
  one field is read at high-speed.
• The process to reduce the pixel numbers does not
  thin out pixels but reduces them through an
  addition process which outputs smoother and
  more sensitive images.
• The information read at high speed from the
  ClearVid CMOS Sensor is processed at high speed
  by the EIP.

1. In high-speed photography mode, compared to
the field rate with normal mode (60field/s_at_NTSC
or 50field/s_at_PAL), a movie with 4 times the field
rate (240field/sec_at_NTSC or 200field/sec_at_PAL) is
captured for about 3 seconds, and can be stored
on a tape or DVD as a 12-second slow-motion
movie. 2. There are 2 types of recording timing
for high-speed photography.
3 seconds after for about 3 seconds after the
capture trigger is pressed.
3 seconds before for about 3 seconds before
the capture trigger is pressed.

Points of caution with Smooth Slow Recording 1.
The picture quality for images taken in Smooth
Slow Recording mode are poorer compared to images
taken in normal photography mode. 2. There is
no vibration correction while taking movies in
Smooth Slow Recording mode. 3. No sound is
recorded while taking movies in Smooth Slow
Recording mode.
