Notes
The CCD-V8AF-E is a Video 8 camcorder with.

infrared auto focus (AF)
Rotary 2-head helical scanning system
Video 8 format uses 8 mm tape for storing the video signal in analogue FM.
Lens combined 6 x power zoom
The main image sensor was a 250,000-pix CCD which required a minimum light level of 22 lux (f1.4).
Uses phase alternating line (PAL) colour encoding system, which complies CCIR standards, for 625-line analogue video systems.
As well as dedicated ICs to provide analogue processing of video signals, this camcorder required a mode control central processing unit (CPU) µPD7503G-324 for the overall control of the camera, and MB88505 microcontroller to manage the tape transport mechanism and servos.

C1M30P4 is a 1 inch monitor.

237 transistors and diodes counted, 47 ICs and 4 quartz.
