    4-7-7 Mode check screen displays
    (MODE CHECK button function)
    The screens enabling the unit’s settings and modes to be
    checked can be displayed in the viewfinder.
    Each time the unit’s MODE CHECK button is pressed, one of
    the four screen displays is selected in the following sequence:
    STATUS screen display 
    >!LED screen display >
    FUNCTION screen display >AUDIO screen display.
    Each screen is displayed for about 3 seconds.  When the
    MODE CHECK button is pressed while one screen is
    displayed, the next screen is displayed.
    To select whether to display the screens, perform menu
    operations to open the  screen from the
    VF page and select ON or OFF for each screen display.
    4-7-8Marker check screen displays
    (MARKER SELECT button
    function)
    The screens enabling the unit’s marker statuses to be
    checked can be displayed in the viewfinder.
    Each time the unit’s MARKER SELECT button is pressed,
    one or none of the two screen displays is selected in the
    following sequence: A marker screen display 
    >B marker
    screen display 
    >no display.
    When the MARKER SELECT button is pressed while one
    screen is displayed, the next screen is displayed.  Before this,
    perform menu operations to open the  screen
    from the VF page, select A as the TABLE item setting, and
    select the marker information for the other items.
    Next, select B as the TABLE item setting, and select the
    marker information for the other items.
    If, for instance, “16:9” is selected for the FRAME SIG item as
    the A marker information and “4:3” is selected for the FRAME
    SIG item as the B marker information, then the 16:9 and 4:3
    aspect ratios can be checked easily by operating the
    MARKER SELECT button as and when required.
    4-7-9Checking the return video
    signal on the viewfinder
    The return video signal which has been input to the
    GENLOCK IN connector can be viewed in the viewfinder
    while the RET button on the lens is held down.
    To activate this function, perform menu operations to open the
     screen from the OPERATION page, and select
    CAM RET as the RET SW item setting.
    7When the characters have been input, turn the JOG dial
    button to move the arrow (cursor) to the “:” position.
    8When the JOG dial button is pressed, the arrow (cursor)
    returns to the ID 1:, ID 2: or ID 3: item.
    9Press the MENU button to exit the menu operations.
    The setting menu is cleared, and the displays showing
    the unit’s current statuses appear at the top and bottom of
    the viewfinder screen.
    
    The camera ID is recorded at the same time as the color
    bar signals if “CAMERA ID” on the VF INDICATOR
    screen has been set to “BAR.”
    5Press the JOG dial button to enter the character.

    4-8Menu-driven function setup
    The functions can be set up using the unit’s menus.
    4-8-1Setting the USER SW GAIN
    switching
    In addition to the standard gain settings of L, M and H, the
    S.GAIN (super gain) mode function that provides an analog
    gain increase of 30 dB or more and the DS.GAIN (digital
    super gain) mode function that provides a cumulative-type
    gain increase utilizing progressive drive can be used with this
    unit.
    To select these functions, perform menu operations to open
    the  screen from the OPERATION page
    and select the gain settings to be used using the S.GAIN item
    and DS.GAIN item.
    If, for instance, the S.GAIN and DS.GAIN functions have been
    allocated to the USER MAIN button, USER1 button or USER2
    button, three different types of gain increases can be made by
    the combinations of the three USER buttons.
    1) To increase the gain without increasing the perceptible
    noise
    Combine the L, M or H value with the DS.GAIN function.
    2) To increase the normal analog gain (in which case, the
    amount of noise will increase)
    Use only the S.GAIN function.
    3) To use the unit in the ultra-high-sensitivity mode
    Use the S.GAIN function and DS.GAIN function in
    combination.  (This enables an increase in gain of up to 68
    dB.)
    However, caution should be observed since the higher the
    DS.GAIN increase, the more noticeable the after image
    becomes with moving subjects.
    Use a gain increase of up to +12 dB :
    with moving
    subjects.
    The DS.GAIN function does not work when the unit is used
    in the progressive mode.
    4-8-2Selecting the video output
    signals
    The signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT connector
    and MON OUT connector can be selected.  To select this
    function, perform menu operations to open the  screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page, select the
    VIDEO OUT signal for the VIDEO OUT SEL item, select the
    type of characters to be superimposed onto the VIDEO OUT
    signal and MONITOR OUT signal for the OUTPUT CHAR
    item and MONITOR OUT CHAR item, and select whether or
    not the characters are to be superimposed onto the
    MONITOR OUT signal.
    When the AJ-A902G expansion board is installed, the SDI
    OUT signal can be output as the signal selected as the
    VIDEO OUT signal.

    This function enables the recording level to be adjusted using
    the F.AUDIO LEVEL control.
    To select this function, perform menu operations to open the
     screen from the VTR MENU page, and set
    whether to enable or disable the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls for
    the system selected as the input signals using the FRONT VR
    CH1 and FRONT VR CH2 items.
    4-8-4 Allocating functions to the
    USER MAIN, USER1 and
    USER2 buttons
    The desired functions can be allocated to the USER MAIN,
    USER1 and USER2 buttons.
    To select this function, perform menu operations to open the
     screen from the OPERATION page, and set the
    desired function each with the USER MAIN SW item, USER1
    SW item and USER2 SW item.
    Functions which can be selected

    The white balance can be adjusted manually using the color
    temperature settings.  These manual color temperature
    settings can be performed for the PRST, A and B settings of
    the WHITE BAL switch.
    Perform menu operations to open the  screen from the OPERATION page, and select VAR
    as the setting for the AWB A item and AWB B item.  The
    manual color temperature adjustment function is now valid.

    item, COLOR TEMP A item and COLOR TEMP B item.
    4-9 Data handling
    Setup card
    Use of the setup memory card (optional accessory) enables
    the setting menu contents to be saved.  Use of this data
    speeds up the process of reproducing suitable setup statuses.
    ≥Multimedia cards or SD memory cards can be used as the
    setup cards.
    4-9-1 Handling the setup card
    The setup card can be inserted or removed before or after the
    power is switched on.
    Inserting the setup card
    Open the switch cover, position the setup card (optional
    accessory) with its cutout facing up, insert it into the setup
    card insertion slot, and close the switch cover.
    #< WHITE BALANCE MODE >

    COLOR TEMP B    :3200K
    ATW SPEED       :NORMAL
    
    Before inserting the setup card, check that it is pointed in the
    correct direction.  If the card meets with resistance and if it is
    difficult to insert, it may mean that it is the wrong way round or
    upside down.  Do not force the card into the slot but check its
    direction again and insert it properly.
    Removing the setup card
    Open the switch cover, check that the BUSY lamp is not
    lighted, and push the setup card further into the unit.  This
    causes the card to partially pop out from the insertion slot.
    Take hold of the card, remove it, and close the switch cover.
    Bear in mind the following points when using
    and saving the setup cards.
    ≥Avoid high temperatures and high humidity levels.
    ≥Keep the cards away from water.
    ≥Avoid exposing the cards to electrical charges.
    Keep the setup card inside the unit with the cover closed.
