Although 30 frames are considered as 1 second in time code processing, the actual frame frequency of an NTSC image signal is 29.97 frames/sec. As a result, the time code gradually lags behind real time as the recording gets longer. The drop frame function adjusts the time code to real time. In the drop frame process, the first 2 frames of each second are not recorded except in every tenth minute. Recording without the drop frame process is called non-drop frame recording. 6 3 h 18 min 1 h 36 min 3 1 h 36 min 48 min 2 1 h 6 min 30 min 1 30 min 18 min FRAME RATE REC FORMAT24p 30p 60p 60 5 h 12 min 6 h 30 min 13 h 30 10 h 24 min 13 h 13 h 15 13 h 13 h 13 h 8 13h 13h 13h 4 13h 13h 13h 2 13h 13h 13h 1 13h 13h 13h FRAME RATEREC FORMAT25p 50p 50 6 h 30 min 13 h 25 13 h 13 h 12 13 h 13 h 6 13 h 13 h 3 13 h 13 h 2 13 h 13 h 1 13 h 13 h FRAME RATEREC FORMAT25p 50p

Compatibility with the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor Using an A-mount lens with the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor (sold separately), you can take advantage of the phase-detection AF feature to shoot images. The available functions differ depending on the lens.

• For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Mount Adaptor.• You may not be able to use the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor with certain lenses. You may not use autofocusing with certain lenses attached via the Mount Adaptor. Consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility for advice on compatible lenses.• Aperture is set to F3.5 when you record movies with autofocusing. When you are using a lens with an F3.5 or smaller F-stop, aperture is set to the maximum F-stop of the lens. When you want to set your own value for aperture, select manual focusing. Adjusting the aperture during recording may cause the noise or turn the screen brighter.
• The noise of the camcorder and lens in the autofocusing operation may be recorded. You can eliminate the noise by setting the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL, and then the AUDIO LEVEL dial to 0 before recording.• It may take a long time or may be difficult for the camcorder to focus, depending on the lens used or the subject. [AF MICRO ADJUSTMENT] has been added to the [CAMERA SET] menu. This allows you to adjust and register an autofocused position for each lens, when using an A-mount lens with the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor (sold separately).

• When you attach a lens for which you have already registered a value, the registered value appears on the screen. [±0] appears for lens for which a value has yet to be registered.
• When 30 lenses have been registered, [AMOUNT] turns gray and you cannot select this time. If you want to register another lens, you must first clear a value. Attach a lens of the value to be cleared and select [±0]. If you want to clear all registered values, select [CLEAR ALL].• Use [AF MICRO ADJUSTMENT] with Sony, Minolta, and Konika-Minolta lenses only. If you use [AF MICRO ADJUSTMENT] with other brands of lenses, the registered value may be affected.• You cannot set [AF MICRO ADJUSTMENT] individually for a Sony, Minolta, and Konika-Minolta lens of the same specification.Functions Autofocus Available AF system Phase-detection AF Switching to autofocus SAM: switchable on the lens SSM: must be switched on the lens and with the FOCUS switch of the camcorder Other lenses: switchable with the FOCUS switch of the camcorder
