This camera has many advantages that a normal handheld camcorder may not have:
- You can change the rate of frames recorded per second, we will be recording our film at 24p
- There is a time code input so that if we record sounds separately then we will be able to sync the sound to the video footage easily with a clapper board
- There is an easily adjustable zoom, iris/exposure and focus
- There is a 'Zebra' setting which tells you whether your shot is too exposed or not- indicating this by moving black lines across the brighter objects
- There is good quality sound recording system installed in the camera if we didn't want to record the sound from an external microphone- although there is a microphone input too...
- The overall quality of the camera is excellent- cameras like these are used in the professional industry sometimes
- There are colour bars, however we most probably won't need to use them, as they are normally used to sync up multiple cameras to make sure that their colours are the same and not brighter/darker than another camera's, so that it doesn't look odd cutting from one camera to another in a TV live broadcast show and the colours suddenly changing
