Color Correction
The Color Correction function allows users to adjust the color of a target object without affecting the color of other objects. This feature can be used to create special effects, for example, showing the color of a red apple only on B&W picture. Up to two colors can be selected as target colors and each can be controlled in terms of color phase, color phase width and color gain as well as skin color.
 

Versatile Timecode/Userbit Operation
Timecode/Userbit Preset function allows any time to be selected as a starting timecode. Also, "DF" or "NDF," "Rec Run" or "Free Run" and "Regenerate" or "Preset" can be selected for the timecode operation.

Multiple Assign Button Functions / HVR-Z1E
The HVR-Z1 has six assign buttons compared to three buttons on the HDR-FX1. Functions such as "AE Override," "White Balance Shift for Outdoor," "Hyper Gain," and "All Scan Mode" are also featured on the assignable menu. "Back Light," "Spot Light" and "Rec Review" are also on the assignable menu.

Viewfinder B/W and Color Selectable
The user can operate the viewfinder in color or in black-and-white.

Simultaneous Operation of LCD panel and Viewfinder / HVR-Z1E
The camcorder's LCD panel and viewfinder can be operated simultaneously. "LCD panel" or "VF turn on" can be selected through the "VF Power" menu. If "Auto" is selected, the viewfinder will turn on only when the LCD panel is closed, and if "On" is selected, both LCD panel and Viewfinder will be operating.

All Scan Mode
"All Scan Mode" is similar to the "Under Scan Mode" of other high-end camcorders. This feature is useful when checking image quality for Web applications. However, unlike the "Under Scan Mode" of other high-end camcorders, the HV blanking area is not displayed.

Auto Exposure Override
While in the Auto Iris mode, AE can be shifted by using Iris dial. This allows the user to adjust Iris easily (or Gain if Gain is set to Auto).

Black Stretch
Black Stretch function raises only the black portion of an image to broaden dynamic range.

4:3 Output
The HVR-Z1 offers several features useful for videographers who also need to output 4:3 images. The converted SD output (i.LINK® Output, S-Video Output or Composite Output) can be connected to compatible SD devices. If the monitor is 4:3, "Letter Box" can be selected and if the monitor is 16:9, "Squeeze" can be selected.

Edge Crop at 4:3
Unique to the HVR-Z1 is the "Edge Crop" mode. This mode is ideal for 4:3 shooting and unlike "Letter Box" or "Squeeze," "Edge Crop" can provide a normal picture that will fill a 4:3 screen. For supporting this function, a viewfinder/LCD panel 4:3 safety marker is added by selection in the Marker Select Menu.
