Ideal Controls for Image Production. Unique System Design and a Wealth of Interfaces.
FILM CAM Mode for Movie
Production
The AG-AF100A Series features switchable
FILM CAM and VIDEO CAM modes. In
FILM CAM mode, the variable frame rate
can be used. In addition, the synchro scan
and shutter can be indicated and set with
the opening angle, instead of seconds,
while the sensitivity can be indicated and
set in ISO, instead of dB. This makes
operation easier for users who are familiar
with film camera operation.
Screen displayed in FILM CAM mode.
Area Focusing and Area Iris
Functions (Compatible lens only)
Using the function knob (cursor key), you
can select a desired area in the frame and
set it as a target zone for focusing, iris
adjustment and YGET (brightness
measurement). This function facilitates the
recording of images in which the subject is
not in the center of the frame. In addition to
the above three modes, there are two other
modes: simultaneous focusing/iris
adjustment and simultaneous focusing/
YGET. You can select and set any of these
five modes.
Screen displayed when the area function is in use.
Versatile Focus Assist Function
The AG-AF100A Series is equipped with
HD focus assist functions. The focus bar
indicates the focus level, the focus-in-red
display shows the focus area, and the
expand function enlarges the center of the
displayed image. These three display
functions help you to focus more smoothly.
A face detection function is also provided,
and area auto focus and area auto iris are
possible.

Wide ISO Sensitivity (Gain)
Setting Range
The sensitivity can be set between ISO 200
and ISO 3200 (in FILM CAM mode), or the
gain can be adjusted between 18 dB and
-6 dB (in VIDEO CAM mode). The 3-position
(L, M, H) gain switch can be assigned with
three desired settings for quick switching.
The negative gain (-3 dB, -6 dB) is effective
for reducing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Slow/Synchro/High-speed Shutter
The shutter speed can be set from a slow
1/2 sec to a fast 1/2000 sec in VIDEO CAM
mode. The AG-AF100A Series is also
equipped with a synchro scan function to
allow setting from 10° to 360° in 0.5° steps
(including 172.8°) in FILM CAM mode.
When combined with the variable frame
rate, this function enables detailed settings
for a blurred or time-lapse effect.
Simplified Waveform and
Vectorscope Display
The AG-AF100A Series has waveform and
vectorscope display functions as well. A
single touch of the WFM key displays the
waveform or vectors of the captured video
signal on the LCD monitor.
