20 Focus ring LOCK screw FOCUS screw Adjustments $Flange back adjustment This adjustment will bring the subject into focus across the whole range from the maximum telephoto position to the widest angle position of the zoom lens. Perform this adjustment when back focusing is not achieved with a fixed focus lens. (Adjustment range: ±0.2 mm) 1Shoot a dark subject to open the iris. 2Reduce the distance between the camera and subject to less than 2 meters, remove the cap over the camera’s flange back adjust screw, and loosen the LOCK screw. 3Set the lens to the maximum telephoto position, and bring the subject into focus using the focus ring. 4Set the lens to the widest angle position, and turn the FOCUS screw to bring the subject into focus. 5Repeatedly adjust the focus ring and FOCUS screw until the subject is focused within the the zoom range. Upon completion of the adjustment, tighten up the LOCK screw.
21 RB RB PED TOTAL PEDA BATW AWC AUTO HOLD ABC AUTO/ATWPAINTINGGAIN Adjustments $White balance adjustment Automatic adjustment (AWC: AWC A/AWC B) OUse the camera in the AWC mode if the lighting conditions at the shooting site will remain unchanged. OWhen “AWC A” or “AWC B” has been selected for the white balance on the Color Set sub-menu (pages 32, 38), the color temperature conditions of two locations can be preset (stored in the memory) using A/B. OWhen the camera is to be used under the same conditions as those of the settings, simply perform the adjustment once, and set the menu or RCU (RCB) switch to A or B. After this, there is no need to perform the adjustment again. OWhen new settings are established, the previous settings will be erased from the memory. 1Select “AWC A” or “AWC B” for the white balance. 2Shoot a white subject (such as a white wall or white handkerchief) to fill the screen. The size of the white subject must be at least 10% of the screen, and it must appear in the middle. Keep shiny objects or very bright objects off the screen. 3 The white balance can be set by pressing the ITEM/AWC switch for at least 2 seconds in the shooting mode. 4The white balance can be set when the auto set switch is set to “AWC.” The AUTO LED flashes while the white balance is being set. The AUTO LED goes off to indicate the successful completion of the setting, and it lights to indicate a failed setting procedure. Repeat the setting procedure in the latter case. When performing the adjustment using the RCU (RCB) When performing the adjustment using the camera The white area size must fill at least 10% of the screen.

22 Adjustments Manual adjustment Manual adjustment can be performed only in the user mode. 1Select “AWC A” or “AWC B” for the white balance. 2Shoot a white subject to fill the screen, and attain the automatic white balance. 3Vary the R (red) and B (blue) gain using Painting on the color set sub-menu, and adjust it so that the carrier in the white area of the video signals is minimized (or so that the white area of the image turns white). (Perform this adjustment using an oscilloscope or waveform monitor.) When performing the adjustment using the camera After having attained the automatic white balance, adjust the R (red) and B (blue) gain using the R and B gain controls of the RCU (RCB). OThe white balance may not be attained properly if the subject brightness is insufficient. OAfter setting the white balance, the level is stored for a prolonged period in the memory inside the camera even when the camera’s power is turned off. There is no need to set it again provided that the status of the subject’s color temperature remains unchanged. However, if the setting conditions change (if the shooting location changes from outdoors to indoors or vice versa, for example), set the white balance again. OIf the white balance is set when using the camera by itself, the setting for the R (red) and B (blue) gain adjustment using Painting will return to ±0. (The Painting settings are valid only in the user mode.) Automatic color temperature tracking (ATW) It is a good idea to use the camera in the ATW mode if the lighting conditions at the shooting site are likely to change (prolonged shooting outdoors, etc.). When “ATW” is selected as the white balance setting, compensation is provided automatically so that the white balance is attained automatically even when the light source or color temperature changes to ensure that the images look natural. The white balance may shift if there is no white on the screen. 3200 K, 5600 K presettings When “P SET 3200K” or “P SET 5600K” is selected as the white balance setting, the status is established in which the white balance is set at a color temperature of 3200 K or 5600 K, respectively.When performing the adjustment using the RCU (RCB) Minimize the carrier.

23 Adjustments $Black balance adjustment This adjustment is performed when using the camera for the first time, when the camera has not been used for a prolonged period or when the lighting conditions have changed, causing the white balance to change significantly which in turn has caused the black balance to alter. OClose the lens before proceeding. OIf the black balance is set when using the camera by itself, the setting for the R (red) and B (blue) gain adjustment using Painting will return to ±0. (The Painting settings are valid only in the user mode.) The black balance is set in about 10 seconds when the YES/ABC switch is held down for two or more seconds. After the black balance has been set, the black balance can be finely adjusted by varying the R pedestal and B pedestal using Painting on the color set sub-menu in the user mode. The black balance is set when the auto set switch is set to “ABC.” The AUTO LED flashes while the black balance is being set. The AUTO LED goes off to indicate a successful completion of the setting, and it lights to indicate a failed setting procedure. Repeat the setting procedure in the latter case.When performing the adjustment using the RCU (RCB) When performing the adjustment using the camera RB RB PED TOTAL PEDA BATW AWC AUTO HOLD ABC AUTO/ATWPAINTINGGAIN RCU (RCB) Auto set switch AUTO LEDCamera – + MENU ITEM/AWC YES/ABC NO/BAROPTION CARD VIDEO OUT I/F REMOTE G/L IN IRIS DC12V IN YES/ABC switch

Ask your dealer to perform it. Horizontal phase adjustment Monitor the genlock signal input (black burst signal) and video signal output waveforms on a dual-trace oscilloscope, and bring the horizontal phase into alignment using the camera or RCU (RCB). 1Hold down the NO/BAR switch for at least 5 seconds or so, and set to color bar signals. 2Select “H phase” as the genlock/color bar setting on the sub-menu. 3Bring the horizontal phase into alignment using the YES/ABC switch or NO/BAR switch. When performing the adjustment using the camera Use the horizontal phase control to perform the adjustment. When adjusting the horizontal phase from the RCU (RCB), set the BAR/CAM switch to BAR before performing the adjustment. The horizontal phase cannot be adjusted if this switch is set to CAM.

When performing the adjustment using the camera Use the “subcarrier phase coarse adjustment switch” and “subcarrier phase fine adjustment control” to perform the adjustment. When adjusting the color phase from the RCU (RCB), set the BAR/CAM switch to BAR before performing the adjustment. The color phase cannot be adjusted if this switch is set to CAM.

27 Menu Item Settings and Changes $Setting the menu items OThe unit’s 4 operation modes (halogen light mode, fluorescent light mode, outdoor mode and user mode) each have a main menu. OEach item on the main menu has a sub-menu, and each sub-menu has several setting items. OAlthough the setting items were preset to the optimum values or levels for each operation mode before the unit was shipped, they can be changed to suit the actual shooting conditions. OThe settings can be performed from the camera or RCU (RCB). Setting procedure 1Settings using the camera itself Hold down the MENU switch for at least 5 seconds. Settings using RCU (RCB) Set the user set switch inside the pocket to ON. The main menu screen for the operation mode selected now appears. Refer to page 18 for details on selecting the operation mode. 2Each time the MENU switch, ITEM/AWC switch or NO/BAR switch is pressed, the flashing item changes. 3When the YES/ABC switch is pressed, the sub-menu screen for the flashing item appears. 4Select the item to be set or changed using the menu screen or ITEM/AWC switch. 5Change the setting using the YES/ABC switch or NO/BAR switch. 6Select “Return” using the MENU switch or ITEM/AWC switch, and press the YES/ABC switch. Operation now returns to the main menu. 7When the settings are completed Settings using the camera itself Select “End,” and press the YES/ABC switch. Settings using RCU (RCB) Set the user set switch inside the pocket to OFF. The camera will now operate under these setting conditions.
