Re: Researching the Sony HDV Handycam photo

4) Gain and White balence on the outside left - lower

Also note there are two presets for white balance.

5) Shutter speed button on the left side - lower

Note the Hold slide/switch position near it.

6) 1, 2, 3 buttons near the "Auto, Manual and Infinity" switch

Focus presets?

8) Looks like a wheel on back for adjusting audio

Says "REC Vol" just above it.

9) Some sort of weird on-top thing above the mic - another LED?

That's the LCD panel. The DV cassette loads on the left side.

What's conspicuously missing from the shot is all the I/O connections. Hopefully someone at the show can get some shots of the back and opposite side.
