Cine-Like Gamma Provides Warmer, Film-Like Color Tones Eight-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HVX200A with advanced gamma functions that address eight different shooting scenarios and enhances your creative abilities. Included are the Cine-Like Gamma, which gives CINE-LIKE GAMMA recordings the characteristic warm tone of film recordings, and a News Gamma that's designed especially for news gathering. VIDEO GAMMA AG-HVX200A Gamma Modes NEWS: Minimizes washout to faithfully capture all visual information especially in the highlights HD NORM: Suitable for HD recording LOW: Works to flatten out a high contrast scene SD NORM: Normal setting for SD (this was available in the DVX100 series) HIGH: Provides more contrast and color gradation B.PRESS: Provides more contras and blacks in low contrast scenes CINE-LIKE-D: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range CINE-LIKE-V: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast Create Slow-/Fast-Motion Effects Using Mini DV Tape In addition to its two P2 card slots, the AG-HVX200A is equipped with a mini DV tape drive. This allows recording in 60i, 30p, 24p or 24pA (Advance) modes, just like AG-DVX100 series models. It also lets you down-convert an HD recording (1080i/720P) recorded on a P2 card and copy it to a mini DV tape. During the Dubbing process, frame-rate conversion is applied to the overcranked or undercranked HD footage recorded in the 720PN native modes. This lets you create special speed effects during DV production - until now, a feat possible only with a 720p 480/60i Native mode Conversion dubbing complete VariCam system.
