Introduction

GY-HM700 series, this camera recorder enables more stable shooting while maintaining the same weight as handheld models.

F11 Sensitivity, 1/3-inch Full HD 3CMOS Sensors

This camera recorder is equipped with three 1/3inch 2.07M pixels full HD CMOS sensors. It delivers high image quality with a high color resolution through the processing of individual R, G, B color signals. 12-bit signal processing and the new 2D DNR removes dark current and optical shot noise without losing S/N and high resolution, thereby achieving high F11 sensitivity.

It ensures high magnification of 29 mm at wide ends, and provides high sensitivity across all regions with F1.6-3.0. This interchangeable lens comes with an autofocus (AF) and Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) function, allowing for stable focusing when used as a shoulder-carry camera recorder. In addition to the central area, it also comes with a face-detection autofocus feature, and supports switching to manual focusing. The zoom ring with zoom ring pin enables zooming from the wide end to the tele end in 90 degrees. Focus and iris control are also possible using separate rings.

4-position ND Filter

Two SDHC/SDXC Card Slots for Dual, Backup and Series Recording

The most common SDHC/SDXC card recording system is used as the memory card. This ensures reliability and operation at low running cost. Various user friendly recording systems are also available. These include dual recording of the same file to two cards, and using REC/STBY to break up video clips in one card while performing backup recording to the other card.

Diverse simultaneous recording combinations (HD and SD, HD and Proxy Video, etc.)

This camera recorder is equipped with a proxy video (960x540: MOV, 480x270: MOV, 1440x1080: AVCHD) recording function that is convenient for network distribution. Further enhancements were made to the dual recording feature, allowing for HD recording to one of the SDHC/SDXC cards, and SD or proxy video recording to the other card at the same time.

This is not recorded on the SD card. They will not appear after you turn the power off and then on again. o If you use this unit in a cold place, the images may appear to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction. Retained images are not recorded on the SD card. o Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to strong impact. Doing so may damage or break the screens. o Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching between the live video and playback images. o Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device, colors may appear on the images when you blink your eyes. It does not affect the recorded images, SDI output, or HDMI output.

Introduction

Precautions for Proper Use

SDHC/SDXC Cards

Groove

o SDHC/SDXC card is referred to as “SD card” in this manual. o This camera recorder saves the recorded images and audio sound on the SD card (sold separately) in the card slot.

Introduction

o Use an SD card (4 GB to 128 GB) with Class 6 or higher performance, formatted using this camera recorder.

* Depending on the recording format, SD card with

Class 4 or higher performance can also be used. Some recording formats supports only the use of cards with Class 10 or higher.

(A P50 [Selecting a Recording Format] )

* Using cards other than those from Panasonic,

TOSHIBA or SanDisk may result in recording failure or data loss.

o If the SD card contains files recorded by devices other than this camera recorder or files that are saved from a PC, the recordable time may be shorter or data may not be properly recorded. In addition, the remaining space on the card may not increase even when files are deleted using a PC.

Handling of SD Cards

o The status indicator lights up in red when data on the SD card is being accessed. Do not remove the SD card during data access (such as recording, playback, or formatting). Do not turn off the power or remove the battery and AC adapter during access either. o Do not use or store the SD card in a place that is subject to static electricity or electrical noise. o Do not place the SD card near locations that are exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio waves. o Inserting the SD card incorrectly may result in damage of this unit or the SD card. o We are not liable for any accidental loss of data stored on the SD card. Please back up any important data. o Make use of the SD card within the prescribed conditions of use. Do not use it at the following locations. Places that are subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or corrosion, places near thermal equipment, sandy or dusty places, or in a car under the sun with the doors and windows closed. o Do not bend or drop the SD card, or subject it to strong impact or vibration.

o Do not splash the SD card with water. o Do not dismantle or modify the SD card. o Do not touch the terminals with your hands or

ND Filter Warning Display

In order to adjust the amount of light when you are shooting at a relatively bright location, the diameter of the iris may become extremely small, causing blurry effects to occur as a result. This phenomenon is known as “small aperture diffraction”. You can make appropriate use of ND filters to prevent it from occurring. This unit displays an ND filter warning when necessary to prompt you to select an appropriate ND filter.

Set [Main Menu] B [LCD/VF] B [Display Settings] B [ND Filter] to “On+Assist”.

(A P122 [ ND Filter ] )

When the iris diameter becomes too small while adjusting the light intensity, or when an ND filter is used in a dimly-lit location, the ND filter display starts blinking.

White Shading Adjustment

Adjustment of white shading is needed when you have changed the lens.

Although white balance may be appropriate at the center of the image, this may not be the case at the top and bottom areas. If this is the case, the image will appear greenish or yellowish. This phenomenon is due to the characteristics of the lens. The process of correcting this phenomenon is referred to as white shading adjustment.

Perform this process after adjusting the white balance.

Setup Prior Adjustment

Obtain the white balance on the camera.

(A P64 [Memory A Mode (A), Memory B Mode (B)] )

Set the control of the camera lens as follows.

Set the iris to F4.0 or narrower to obtain the appropriate brightness. If the brightness is insufficient at F4.0, obtain the appropriate brightness such as by adjusting the lighting.

When using a zoom lens, set to the center of the zoom adjustment range.

Fill the monitor screen with a pattern box of a uniform light source, or a piece of white (plain) paper that is uniformly illuminated.

Set the chroma level of the monitor to the maximum.

Check the monitor screen.

There is no need for adjustment if there is no color at the top and bottom of the screen.

If the top of the screen is greenish and the bottom is reddish or vice versa, continue this adjustment.

to non-drop frame mode. Use this setting when placing emphasis on the number of frames.

Memo : Drop frame/non-drop frame mode

When the frame rate setting in [Main Menu] B [System] B [Record Set] B [Record Format] B [Frame & Bit Rate] is “60p”, “60i”, or “30p”, the actual number of frames per second is

approximately 59.94 (29.97). However, the time code processing standard is “60p”, “60i”, or

“30p” frames. To make up for the frame number discrepancy, the drop frame mode (Drop) drops

the 00 frame and 01 frame every minute except for minutes that are multiples of 10. However, in the case of “60p”, the 00, 01, 02 and 03 frame

are dropped.

The non-drop frame mode (Non Drop) does not drop frames and ignores the discrepancy with the actual time.

performed. Continuous recording will not be

performed if a recordable media is inserted in a

slot after recording to the other slot has started.

When recording to one slot is in progress with

the recorder set to the Dual Rec mode, inserting

a recordable media to the other slot does not

enable the Dual Rec operation. To perform the

Dual Rec operation, stop recording temporarily

(excluding pausing recording in the Clip

Continuous Rec mode), and start again.

When one of the cards is accidentally removed

while recording is in progress in the Dual Rec

mode, recording to the card in the other slot will

continue. However, repair of the accidentally

removed card by the recovery function may fail.

If an error occurs on one of the cards while

recording is in progress in the Dual Rec mode,

recording of the erroneous card stops, while that

of the other card continues.

Operations on clips recorded in the Dual Rec

mode, such as clip deletion in the Media mode

or appending of OK marks, can only be

performed on the card in the selected slot.
