Golf Shot

Timing that the camcorder starts recording

Divides 2 seconds of fast movement into frames which are then recorded as a movie and photos. You can view a series of movement when playing back, which is convenient in cases such as checking golf swing or tennis form.

[Shooting Mode] [Golf Shot].

On the [Golf Shot] screen, frame the subject in the grid in the center of the screen, then press START/STOP right after the subject has taken a swing.

Timing that the camcorder starts recording

If the moment when the largest sound in 1 second after the START/STOP button is pressed has been detected, the camcorder assumes the moment as the sound of a club hitting the ball.

When the sound of a club hitting the ball is detected, the recording time period is automatically adjusted according to at that moment.

A: The sound of a club hitting the ball*

B: The point when you press START/STOP

C: The camcorder records images in this 2 seconds period.

* The camcorder sets the point when the loudest sound in the past 1 second is detected, as the sound of a club hitting the ball.

The point when the count reaches 0 is assumed as the moment of impact and motion before and after 0 is recorded.

Notes

If the camcorder cannot detect the sound of a club hitting the ball, the camcorder automatically sets the impact point at 0.5 second before the START/STOP button has been pressed, and records a movie in the time period between 1.5 seconds before the impact point to 0.5 second after the impact point.

The size of photos becomes 1,920 1,080.

You cannot record sound.

Image quality is not as good as that of normal recording.

[REC Mode] will be set to [Standard ] automatically.

The image recorded may be noisy when your camcorder has failed to analyze the shot properly because there may be movement in background of the [Golf Shot] recording screen. It is recommended that you record images under stable conditions (for example, using a tripod).
