Operation Procedure
1Turn on the power of each
equipment.
2Properly adjust the light for the
object.
3Adjust the flange back of the lens,
the iris and the focus.
• Flange back must be adjusted when
the camera is used for the first time or
after replacement of the lens.
4Adjust the white balance.
• This adjustment is needed when the
camera is used for the first time or
after leaving unused for a long time.
• The adjustment is necessary when
the lighting condition or brightness is
changed.
• After adjusting the white balance
once, re-adjustment is not needed
under the same condition.
5Adjust the black balance.
• This adjustment is needed when the
camera is used for the first time or
after leaving unused for a long time.
• The adjustment is necessary when
the ambient temperature is greatly
changed or at the change of season.
• After adjusting the black balance
once, re-adjustment is not needed
under the same condition.
6Start shooting.
(After shooting, be sure to turn off the
power of each equipment connected.)

_Flange back adjustment (for zoom lens)
The adjustment is to adjust the focus in all the range from the maximum zoom to the
widest angle of the zoom lens.
1Shoot a dark object to open the iris.
2Adjust the distance from the object to 6.6 ft. (2 m) at least, then loosen the flange
back fixing knob of the lens.
3Set the lens to the maximum zoom and adjust the focus by turning the focus ring.
4Set the lens to the widest angle and adjust the focus by turning the flange back
adjust ring.
5Repeat adjusting the focus ring and flange back adjust ring until the focus is
adjusted within the zooming range.
After finishing the adjustment, tighten the flange back fixing knob.

_Lens iris gain volume adjustment
•Iris gain adjust hole (G or S) is provided at front of the lens housing. Adjust the iris
according to the following procedure by using a screwdriver.
1Set the iris select switch of the lens to A “AUTO” side.
2Turn the iris gain adjust volume to maximize the gain in such extent that no hunting
takes place.

_Color temperature and while balance adjustment (reference)
When carbon is burnt, it develops
various colors of light depending on the
temperature. Natural light can be
specified by color temperature reflecting
to the color developed when carbon is
burnt.
The light of 3,200K (K=Kelvin, –273°C
equals to absolute zero temperature 0K)
represents the same value (color) as
what develops when carbon is burnt at
3,200K (2,927°C). The relationship
between the color temperature of the
light source and weather condition is
indicated in the right figure. Let’s study
the difference of shooting an indoor
object from shooting one outdoors.
Studios are usually lighted with
incandescent lamps and the color
temperature of a white object in a studio
is around 3,200K. The color temperature
of a white object outdoors is around
6,500K. The former may look a little
yellowish while the latter appears
somewhat bluish when they are shot by a camera. However, the human eye does not
recognize color differences among these objects even under different ambient lighting
conditions, because of their adaptability to light.
The video camera reproduces color differences with high fidelity and the color of an
object somewhat different from what appears to the human eye.
Therefore, there is a need to adjust the white balance in order to correct differences
between color temperatures.
How to Adjust
_White balance adjustment
Adjust the white balance after shooting a white object by at least 50% of the screen.
NOTE:If the white signal level is over 100% or less than 50%, the white balance may
not be normally adjusted.
Color temperature outdoors may vary depending on weather conditions.

_Black balance adjustment
• Adjust it with the lens closed.
When the motor drive lens is controlled from the camera, adjusting the black balance
causes the lens to be automatically closed.
How to Adjust
_Gen lock adjustment
When multiple cameras are used or the camera is combined with other equipment, it is
necessary to adjust the phase for phase matching by external synchronization.
•Horizontal phase adjustment
Observe the waveforms of externally synchronizing signal input (black burst signal)
and video signal output by a two-phenomenon oscilloscope, and make the horizontal
phase according to the camera menu.
1Roughly adjust the synchronizing
signal input and video signal
output phases by H.PHASE-
COARSE.
2Finely adjust the synchronizing
signal input and video signal
output phases by H.PHASE-FINE. Adjustment with H.PHASE of
SETTING menu
H.Phase adjustment is executed by
the HD Controller AK-HRP900.
