As a wedding cameraman, you
might use spot lighting to create more dramatic
scenes. However, a sudden change in lighting
requires quick adjustment of shooting modes. In such
instances, the Scene Select function comes in handy
as it enables selection of the optimum shooting mode
with the flick of a switch. Position A and B in
Scene Select can be assigned to specific scenes such
as Indoor and Outdoor, both Indoors, or both
Outdoors, each of which are assigned with five
shooting modes. Using the menu displayed on the LCD
and viewfinder. These modes can be set with values.
Once set, you simply flick between A and B to
achieve the optimum lighting for a scene.

Recording
Dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make
the JY-HM360 a truly versatile camcorder, offering
different recording modes with reliable and
cost-effective media. Series (or relay) recording is
for making long-hour seamless recording from card A
to B and vice versa, Simultaneous (or dual)
recording for creating 2 identical cards at same
format, and Backup recording for creating 2
different recordings – while the REC trigger is used
to REC and STOP recording on one card, the other
card can act as a continuous backup that overrides
the pause function.
