21 (E) 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 colour 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 colour 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 colour 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 colour 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 colour temperature of 3200 K or 5600 K, respectively.When performing the adjustment using the RCU (RCB) Minimize the carrier.

22 (E) ENGLISH 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 colour 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

29 (E) 1Picture level adjustment [A. Iris Level: –50 to +50] This is for adjusting the convergence level of Auto Iris, Auto Gain Up and Auto ND (ELC). (The auto iris is adjusted when a motor-driven lens is used.) 2Light-metering detection ratio adjustment [A. Iris PEAK/AVG: P50 to A50] This enables the ratio of the average level (A) to peak level (P) at which Auto Iris, Auto Gain Up and Auto ND (ELC) are detected to be adjusted. 3Light metering method selection [A. Iris Area: All, centre, top cut, bottom cut, R/L cut] This enables the light-metering method for Auto Iris, Auto Gain Up and Auto ND (ELC) to be selected. All : Light metering over the entire screen area; the light of the whole screen is metered. Centre : Light metering with priority given to the centre of the screen; about one- third of the screen at the top and bottom and one-third on the left and right sides are cut off. Top cut : Light metering with one-third at the top cut off; about one-third of the screen at the top is cut off. Bottom cut : Light metering with one-third at the bottom cut off; about one-third of the screen at the bottom is cut off. R/L cut : Light metering with one-third on the left and right sides cut off; about one- third of the screen on the left and right sides is cut off.

30 (E) ENGLISH5Auto gain increase selection [Auto Gain Up: OFF, LOW or HIGH] LOW : The function for automatically increasing the gain up to approximately 18 dB is activated, and the light quantity is thereby automatically adjusted. HIGH : The function for automatically increasing the gain up to approximately 30 dB is activated, and if the light quantity is still insufficient, ‘night eye’ (digital gain increase) is added, and the light quantity is thereby automatically adjusted. OFF : The function for automatically increasing the gain is not activated (the gain can still be increased manually). The auto gain increase function may not be activated when the camera alone is used. Similarly, it may not be activated when AUTO has been selected as the RCU’s (RCB) iris switch setting. 6Manual gain increase selection [Manu Gain Up: 0 dB to 30 dB or N-Eye (night eye)] This item can be set only when “OFF” has been selected for the auto gain increase selection 5setting. 0 dB: This setting is the one which is normally used. 1 dB to 30 dB: Use this setting when shooting in dark locations and an adequate video output cannot be obtained even if the lens iris is opened. N-Eye: This increases the sensitivity by adding the digital gain increase to the 30 dB gain increase. Only “0 dB,” “9 dB” or “18 dB” can be set when the RCU (RCB) is used. 7Black level adjustment [Pedestal: –30 to +30] This enables the black level (pedestal) of the luminance (Y) signal to be set. It is used to align the black level of two or more cameras. 8Contrast adjustment [Contrast: LOW, MID or HIGH] This enables the contrast to be set in 3 stages. 9Chroma level adjustment [Chroma Level: –3 to +3] This enables the chroma level to be set in ±3 stages. :Flesh tone adjustment [Flesh Tone: –3 to +3] This enables the flesh tones to be set in ±3 stages.
