Panasonic P2 HD camera Operations |
Brief Panasonic P2
HD camera with given demonstrations
Briefly the camera operations are given below:
a) Focus: Its main work is to give the maximum clarity or distinctness of an
image rendered by an optical system.
b) Lens: It
works like the lens of human eye. It helps to do zoom in and zoom out.
c) Exposure: It helps to lessen or increase the density of light.
d) ND filter: ND filter is a key button of camera. Its main work is to lessen
depth of field and the density of light.
e) Focus Assist: Its main work is digital zooming and
highlighting the area of subject.
f) Focus (Auto/Manual): Auto focus focuses automatically. But manual
focus is not automatic. Users can focus in their own choice in this way.
g) Push Auto: It is a key button. It temporarily and automatically adjusts
focus.
h) Zoom (SERVO/Manual): Servo zoom will be set by first two fingers.
Manual zoom will be set by left thumb and index finger.
i) Auto Balance: It automatically can adjust the balance of the
density of light of subject.
j) Iris: It
helps to adjust brightness automatically.
k) Gain (L/M/H): Gain is a key button. It works as ISO. It
helps to increase light but noise will automatically be increased.
l) White Balance: White balance automatically adjusts the color
of subject.
m) Shutter/F rate: It gives two services. Shutter controls time
and F informs frame rate.
M) Dial Sel: It helps to change camera’s mode.
n) Display/Mode CHK: It is a key button which helps to check the
display and Menu mode.
o) Auto/Manual: We can set camera in two ways. One is
Automation and the other is manual. Automation works all other function
automatically and users have to set function manually, in manual way.
p) Audio Level/Channel1/Channel2: This is the channel port. This helps to
broadcast video program.
q) Menu: It
gives all other function to set up camera.
r) Exit: This
helps to quite the Menu.
s) OIS: It
stabilizes the recorded image/video.
t) User1/user2/user3: This helps to save image/video in memory card.
u) Handle Zoom1/2/3: This zoom works in three steps. They are the
slow, medium and high.
v) SD Card: This is the port where the SD memory card is entered.
w) DVC Pro/DV: This is another port for DVC.
x) USB-2.0: It is another port to use USB cable.
y) Battery port: There is a key button alongside the battery
port. It helps to open and enter the battery.
z) Input2-Auto-Input1: It is used as microphone port.
z1) Off/On mode/Power: This key helps to switch on/off camera. This
is power switch.
z2) REC CHK: This helps to check the recorded file.
z3) Handle: It is used to tilt up/tilt down and panning.
z4) Tilt Lock: We should open firstly the tilt lock for tilt
up and tilt down the camera.
z5) Panning Lock: We should open the panning lock for panning
camera.
z6) Stand Lock/Water Balance: There is a water balance key. When water is in
the middle, we can realize that we have locked correctly.
2. What is the white balance?
White balance is a process in camera. There are two of them. One is
automatic and the other is manual.
3. How will you do it or execute it?
I can execute it precisely. White balance adjusts the color
temperature and the density of light. So camera takes its own color and the
color temperature of subject and creates balance within them.
4. What is the ND filter?
ND filter is neutral density filter. It is a key button. It helps
to lessen depth of field and the density of light.
5. How many ND filters are available?
4 types of ND filters are available.
6. How many stops we have to compensate for it
and why?
4 stops we have to compensate for it. They are:
a) ND3- 1stop
b) ND6-2stops
c) ND9- 3sops
d) (ND9+ND3) ND12-4stops.
ND filters are used to lessen depth of field and the density of
light when aperture does not work.
7. Filter can make any difference in the
picture if it is so expressive why and how?
ND filter can make any difference in the picture if it is so
expressive for changing the depth of field and the density of light. Before
using ND filter, the depth of field and the density of light of picture were
increased. But after using ND filter, it has changed the picture.
