1.5˝ Viewfinder
■ The supplied VF-P115 viewfinder is a
1.5˝ CRT with over 500 lines of horizon-
tal resolution. It displays key informa-
tion, including audio levels, accumulated
or remaining recording time, VTR opera-
tion, as well as battery voltage and cam-
era setup parameters.
Variable Scan
■ Variable Scan function allows flicker-
free shooting of computer monitors by
enabling a precise shutter speed from
1/60.1 to 1/208.4 of a second to be set
in 305 increments. There is also the con-
ventional variable high speed shutter
from 1/100 to 1/2000 of a second.
Conveniences
■ Genlock input for synchronizing multiple
camera signals.
■ Dual output system allows camera output
to be connected directly to an external
recorder.
■ Safety zone indication available for the
16:9 screen format, in addition to the
center mark On/Off capability.
■ Easy-to-read backlit LCD panel, (in
addition to the viewfinder) displays key
information, including tape counter,
remaining tape time, audio levels, battery
life and hour meter. 
■ Provides excellent ergonomics. The cam-
era head is lightweight and durable, while
the body is smoothly molded, allowing
the camcorder to become a natural exten-
sion of the body. Weight is perfectly bal-
anced and all switches and controls are
optimally located for fingertip operation.
1/2˝ sculpted shoulder pad ensures com-
fort and stability even during all-day
shoots.
■ Power consumption is only 25 watts, per-
mitting 1 hour recording time on a single
NB-G1 battery. Also accepts the Sony
NP-1B battery. The optional AA-G10
AC Adapter/Charger can recharge up to
four NB-G1 batteries simultaneously.

■ Easy-to-use insert recording capability
allows previously recorded video and Hi-
Fi audio to be accurately replaced with
new material.
■ To boost post-production efficiency and
permit program-logging, the optional 
SA-R200 plug-in time code generator
records SMPTE LTC or VITC time code.
Sophisticated design means you can
record additional data in user-bits with an
internal real-time clock.
■ Auto Review function lets you quickly
review the last two seconds of footage
shot. Once footage is played, the camera
reenters record/pause mode. 
■ Retake function lets you check the record-
ed picture without leaving the record/
pause mode. You decide the point where
you want to start the next take, while
checking the picture at normal speed in
either direction. 
■ Two flying erase heads, plus Advanced
Editing Function deliver professional
quality in-camera edits without glitches,
rainbows and color beats at the edit point.
The advanced edit function synchronizes
the tape to the incoming video during a
1.5 second pre-roll for field accurate edit-
ing and the elimination of whip edits. 
For faster shooting, a 0.5 second preroll 
is also available.
