Associating Voice Memos with a Clip The portion of the clip with which a voice memo is associated depends on when the voice memo is recorded. A voice memo recorded during recording or playback is associated with the picture in view at the time the VOICE MEMO button is pressed. A voice memo recorded when recording is paused is associated with the beginning picture of the immediately preceding clip.
Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording To record high-quality video with the AJ-SPX800P, the black and white balances must be adjusted according to conditions. For higher quality, it is recommended that the adjustments should be made in this order AWB (white balance adjustment) ABB (black balance adjustment) AWB (white balance adjustment).
Detection area for the white balance Retaining white balances The detection area for the white balance is selectable between 90%, 50% and 25%, using the menu option AWB AREA. This option can be found in the screen, which is accessible from the CAM OPERATION page. The detection area is factory-set to 25%. Each value in memory is retained even if the video camerarecorder is turned off; it will not be lost until the white balance is re-adjusted.
4-1-2 Adjusting the Black Balance The black balance must be adjusted when: z You use your AJ-SPX800P the first time; z Your AJ-SPX800P has not been used for some time; z The ambient temperature has changed substantially; z The gain switchover value has been changed; or z S.GAIN (super gain) has been set with the USER MAIN/ USER1/USER2 button. 1 Set the switches as illustrated below.
