GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

(4) Many program AE options (same as MVX1 Si E, MVX1 S E but a 3-position slide switch is featured)

1) AUTO, 2) P (P, Tv, Av mode), 3) SCN SCN (special scene) mode can be selected to enable optimum shooting of the eight types of scenes below. <1> Portrait : This is used to defocus the background to set off the subject to be shot. <2> Sports : This is used to shoot fast-moving subjects during tennis matches and games of golf, for instance. <3> Night : This enables subjects to appear lighter in color even at night time or when the scene is otherwise dark. <4> Snow : This prevents the subject from appearing too dark and enables it to be shot clearly on the ski slopes in winter

where the glare from the snow is strong.

<5> Beach : This prevents the subject from appearing too dark and enables it to be shot clearly on the beach in summer where

the glare from the water is strong. <6> Sunset : This enables sunsets to be shot brightly and in vivid color. <7> Spotlight : This enables sharper shooting of scenes lit by a spotlight or other light source. <8> Fireworks : This enables the shooting of fireworks.

(5) In addition to the MENU button, a FUNC. button is now provided, which enables setting of the following functions.

Camera mode

* Program AE (P), shutter-priority AE (Tv), aperture-priority AE (Av), and the “special scene” settings <1> through <8>

described above.

* Photometry system settings (evaluative photometry, center -weighted average photometry and spot photometry ... P position

during still image shooting), * White balance (Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Set), * Image effects (Vivid, Neutral, Low sharpening, Soft skin detail, Custom), * Drive mode settings (single shooting, continuous shooting, high-speed continuous shooting, AEB, stitch assist) --- in card

still image mode only, * Image quality mode setting (XP, SP, LP) * Faders (in movie recording mode only), * Effects (in camera mode only), * Multi-screen settings (in movie recording mode only), * Card Mix, * Still image simultaneous recording settings, * Image size settings, * Still image quality settings

During video playback

Original: * Divide, * Delete, * Add to playlist Playlist : * Move, * Divide, * Delete,

(6) Mini-video light included (DC20 E only)

This light has about three times the lighting capability of the white LED used on previous models, enabling close-up subjects to be shot even in the dark. It can be turned on by pressing a button in any program mode. Furthermore, even in the night mode, it can light up (mini video light priority) just as the conventional white LED could.

(7) Includes 2.5-inch, 123,000-pixel, TFT color LCD monitor

Includes BACKLIGHT button Employing ultra-high-brightness LEDs (× 3) yields higher brightness levels, smaller dimensions, reduced power consumption, and greater environmental friendliness. An AG (anti-glare) + AR (anti-reflection) coating is provided to enable easy visibility of the subject even when viewing the LCD screen under direct sunlight. While keeping the gradient reproducibility the same for the white side, the black side was narrowed to improve the contrast, and the LCD image quality is switched based on changes in camera image quality when switching modes for allowing smooth transition

between the image quality of movies and still images. (8) Wind screen (WS) function (ON/OFF) (9) Exposure compensation

Exposure locking by operating omni selector (top). Also, the exposure can be adjusted to a maximum of ±11 levels (±2.75EV) by

moving the omni selector to the left and right.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

(10) Auto slow shutter function (set by the MENU button)

The slow-side shutter speeds for Auto mode were expanded.

During movie : 1/50 sec → 1/25 sec

During still image : 1/25 sec → 1/12.5 sec

This enables shooting of subjects in low brightness. (11) Widescreen TV (WIDE SCREEN) shooting (16:9)

Functions for Recording Still Images on Cards and Discs (Movie Cannot be Recorded on Cards)

(1) miniSD card used (same as MVX1 Si E, MVX1 S E) (2) 9-point range-finding frame AiAF function

Includes Ai (Artificial intelligence) AF function where the camera automatically selects from 9 range-finding frames on the screen

in Disc/Card Camera mode.

The range-finding frame can be switched between the automatic selection function and center range-finding frame.

AUTO mode is AiAF only. (Selection of the range-finding frame is not possible.) (3) Metering system (same as MVX1 Si E, MVX1 S E)

In P, Tv, and Av modes, the metering system can be selected from evaluative metering, center-weighted average metering, and spot

metering (spot metering is center frame only). (4) Still image sizes (for both cards and discs)

1632 × 1224 (DC20 E only), 1280 × 960, 640 × 480, Super fine, Fine, Normal can be set. (5) Continuous shooting function (in card still image mode only)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

The photograph shows DC20 E.

* Circle grip styling for superior operability .

Circle grip with a key positioned at the arc of the disc area. Fits snugly in the user’s hand to assure superior operability.

* Distinctive and attractive rounded rear shape.

Design where the cylindrical shape of the lens continues from the front right through to the rear panel along the arc of the disc area. A sense that discs are used (which is distinctly dif ferent from tapes) felt when the semicircular rear cover is viewed from the LCD (right) side.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

6-3 Editing functions This function edits movies or dics

6-3-1 Original movie editing This function edits original movies (scenes) recorded in VR mode. Deleting, dividing and add-

ing to playlist is possible. When images are recorded in the DVD-VIDEO mode (-RW disc) only the scene which has just been shot can be deleted. The dividing of one phot-movie is not possible.

6-3-2 Playlist editing This function enables editing of lists of the scene playback order in VR mode.

Delete, Divide, Move, Erase Entire Playlist are available. With thumbnail display (6 thumbnails in 2 rows and 3 columns).

6-3-3 Disc title This function enters an original name for the disc. Alphanumeric characters and symbols can be

entered. The maximum number of input characters is 20 single-byte characters. The name can be confirmed on standalone players (depending on the player). The disk title input is possible in all disks and the recording modes in cases where they are not finalized.

6-3-4 Disc protect This function protects the disc by disabling recording and editing. However, discs can still be

initialized.

6-3-5 Create photo movie This function converts Disc Still Images (JPEG compression) to MPEG movies.

Playlist editing and playback in a DVD player is possible for the still images. With single-operation photo movie creation function.The photo movie function is possible in all discs and the recording modes in cases where they are not finalized.

6-4 Finalize This process enables playback in other players and recorders that support DVD-VIDEO and

DVD-VR. In this finalization process, the shorter the recording time, the more dummy data is needed fill the remaining space, and this tends to result in a longer finalization time. Execute/ Cancel. When this finalization is performed, be aware that certain disc types and recording systems have limitations on additional recording, editing, and initializations. Includes display of finalization time and remaining finalization time. Finalization is not possible when using a battery pack. Finalization is possible when the Compact Power Adapter is connected. Be especially careful during finalization since the data can be corrupted if the Compact Power Adapter is disconnected during finalization.
