(+Canon XM2 (Still frequently used - especially as none of the Sony HVRs actually record.)) |

For zooming smoothly, there is a switch labelled 'servo', 'manual' which enables or disables the wide and tele paddle which drives the ring motor for zooming. The switch is located on the underside of the handle on the lens. The ring will rotate at a constant speed, the zoom probably isn't linear in the angle of view change for a given rotation of the ring. Even so, the 'servo' setting should be smoother than manually changing the zoom. | For zooming smoothly, there is a switch labelled 'servo', 'manual' which enables or disables the wide and tele paddle which drives the ring motor for zooming.

The '''''Canon DM-XM2'''''s are two SD camcorders bought by YSTV in late 2006. They record to MiniDV tape in 4:3 or 16:9 SD, shoot still photos to tape or SD card up to 1488x1128, and have phono and S-Video composite video outputs for live use. We have 3 batteries - 2 Jessops BP-930-compatibles (~2hr 15m recording) and one BP-915 (~55m). They're perfect for quick-and-dirty VT shooting, monitoring a scene or single-person electronic news gathering. We often use them for big OBs. | |||

This was assigned the name at a station meeting vote. Perhaps an unwise choice, particularly if we ever get a YSTV member named Howard. It is powered by a normal four-pin XLR, and has a composite video out. It is controlled by RS422 which is currently sent over CAT 5e cable into a serial plug and that is connected into a serial-USB converter. See [http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/ptzcams/evi-d70p/overview Sony EVI-D70P product page]. | This was assigned the name at a station meeting vote.
