Frequently Answers and Questions

What are the recording formats supported by the camcorder?

The PDW-F330/350 supports both HD and SD recording formats. For HD video, it uses MPEG-2 MP@HL compression, and you can select from HQ, SP, and LP recording modes. It also supports DVCAM format for SD recording.

What is the purpose of the Proxy AV data recording?

The camcorder automatically generates low-resolution Proxy AV data (MPEG-4 video and audio) alongside the high-resolution recording. This allows for quick file transfer and editing using a laptop computer or a network, making the workflow much more efficient.

How do I create scene lists in the camcorder?

The camcorder allows you to select clips on the disc and create clip lists, which can then be played back in any order you choose. A single disc can store up to 99 clip lists.

What are the functions of the i.LINK connector?

The i.LINK connector on the camcorder supports two functions: DV stream output (AV/C mode) for recording to a DV recorder or nonlinear editor and File access from a computer (FAM connection) for reading and writing video, audio, and metadata information as files.

How does the time-lapse recording function work?

The time-lapse recording function allows you to shoot slow-moving subjects with the movement compressed in time. This is helpful for applications like observing plant growth or construction progress.

What are the different ND filter positions and when should I use them?

The camcorder has four built-in ND filters: Clear, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, and 1/64 ND. You can select an appropriate ND filter setting to compensate for lighting conditions and control the depth of field, especially when shooting with the lens iris wide open.
