Features variable frame rate and a cine gamma curve.
The AK-HC1500 debuts as the first multi-purpose camera to feature a
variable frame rate function and a cine gamma curve. The variable frame
rate allows the overcranking and undercranking speed effects that film
cameras provide, and the cine gamma curve reproduces images with a
tone similar to film recordings. With the AK-HC1500, you can create
productions that closely replicate the cine-llke feeling and expressivity of
film productions.
t You can vary the number of frames per second (4 fps to 60 fps), just as you can
with a film camera.Thls lets you use the distinctive undercranking and overcranking
speed effects of film cameras.
> Thanks to a special cine gamma curve, the CCD can produce pictures with the
same kind of tonal beauty, natural gradation and rich colours you get with film
recordings.
