Interval RecordingInterval recording is a unique functionthat records signals at pre-determinedintervals (more than 30 seconds) forpre-determined durations (more than0.5 seconds). This is ideal for recordingsubjects over long periods, such as themovement of clouds or the blossoming offlowers.Smooth Slow RecThe Smooth Slow Rec 3 function enablesclean slow-motion playback by capturingimages at four times faster than thenormal field rate (200 fields/s).3 When using the Smooth Slow Rec function, the resolutionof the camera image decreases. For example, theresolution at Fine mode is 640 x 360 pixels. Also, audiorecording is not available.

Afteran operator has programmed a shot’sstart and end settings (e.g., for zoom,focus, iris, gain, shutter speed and whitebalance) and pressed the start button,it ensures a smooth transition takesplace over the duration of the shot byautomatically calculating intermediatesetting values.Picture ProfileUp to six different picture-tonal settingscan be registered in the memory withdesired names as picture profiles onthe HVR-V1E and displayed on theLCD monitor at the touch of a button.This allows operators to easily call upcustomised picture-tonal settings to suitparticular shooting conditions, rather thanhaving to readjust the camera each time.The factory default setting includes six preloadedpicture profiles for typical shootingconditions.Last Scene ReviewAt the touch of a button, the video andaudio of the last shot can be instantlyplayed back on the LCD monitor.Playback ZoomUsing the playback zoom function, aselected area of the recorded HD imagescan be enlarged and played back onthe LCD monitor and viewfinder, allowingoperators to check them for certaindetails.TC LINK Function for Multi-cameraOperationsUsing the TC LINK function, the timecode of the HVR-V1E can be synchronisedwith another camcorder such as anHVR-Z7E, a HVR-Z5E, or a secondHVR-V1E. By connecting the HVR-V1E tothe other camcorder via an i.LINK cableand activating this function, the HVR-V1E’stime code generator will switch tofree-run mode and reset its time codeto that provided from the connectedcamcorder. Once the time code of theHVR-V1E is synchronised 4 , the i.LINK cablecan be disconnected and the nextHVR-V1E that needs synchronisedtime code can be set up. TC LINK is aconvenient function when using theHVR-V1E in multi-camera operations,such as live-event recording and stageshootingapplications.4 The synchronisation accuracy is within one frame.Long Operating TimeWith the optional NP-F970 InfoLiTHIUMRechargeable Battery Pack attached, theHVR-V1E can operate continuously for upto around 7 hours.For more information see page 24.21
