7.2.1 LIVE PRE/LIVE Display Screens
The LIVE PRE, (live image preview, waiting for pretrigger), mode is the operational state the camera
will start up in when it is first powered up. When the camera has a Phantom CineMag attached, and it
is set in Run/Stop mode the camera will be placed into the LIVE mode. What this means is, in either
mode, the camera will display a live image on the monitor or viewfinder screen. However, the camera
is not yet recording any image data or frames to the camera memory buffer or Phantom CineMag.
In this state, the user can:
· View a live image to focus in on the subject.
· Zoom in 1:1 pixel view to assist in targeting the subject.
· Define the recording parameters.
· Determine if any image area is over exposed.
· Examine the recording duration time and the number of frames that will be recorded within the
recording time frame.
