Panasonic Color Video Camera Aw E560 Operating Instructions

							-39- 7Red gain adjustment [R GAIN]
8Blue gain adjustment [B GAIN]
When the white balance setting is set to MANU, white
balance can be adjusted by red/blue gain control.
Fine adjustment of white balance can also be made
after AWC by red/blue gain control when the white
balance setting is set to A CH or B CH and the paint-
ing mode is ON.
* A memory is provided for each of MANU, A CH, and B
CH.
If AWC is executed when the camera is used alone,
the memories for A CH and B CH return to the center.
9Total Pedestal Adjustment [T PED]
The pedestal of the luminance (Y) signal can be set. It
is used to match the pedestals of two or more cam-
eras.
!0Red Pedestal Adjustment [R PED]
!1Blue Pedestal Adjustment [B PED]
Fine adjustment of black balance can also be made
after ABC by red/blue pedestal adjustment when the
painting mode is ON.
* If ABC is executed when the camera is used alone,
the value of R/B PED returns to the center.
!2Painting Setting [PAINTING: ON/OFF]
If white balance is set to either A CH or B CH when the
painting switch is ON, fine adjustment of white bal-
ance can be made after AWC by red/blue gain con-
trol.
Fine adjustment of black balance after ABC can also
be made by red/blue pedestal adjustment.!3AUTO IRIS/AGC/ELC Level Adjustment [LEVEL]
Convergence level of AUTO IRIS/AGC/ELC can be
adjusted.
!4Photometric Measurement Method Setting
[AREA: ALL, CENTER, TOP CUT, BOT CUT, R/L
CUT]
A photometric measurement method can be selected
for AUTO IRIS/AGC/ ELC.
ALL:All the screen area is measured.
CENTER:The screen is measured mainly in the cen-
ter area, about one-third each of the top
and bottom and one third each of the right
and left parts of the screen are cut out
from measurement.
TOP CUT:About one-third of the top part of the
screen is cut out from measurement.
BOT CUT:About one-third of the bottom part of the
screen is cut out from measurement.
R/L CUT:About one-third each of the right and left
parts of the screen is cut out from mea-
surement.

							-40- !5Detecting Ratio Adjustment [PEAK/AVG]
The ratio of AUTO IRIS/AGC/ELC detected peak to
average can be adjusted in a range of 9 steps.
!6AUTO IRIS Level Fine Adjustment Setting
[AUTO IRIS: ADJ ON/ADJ OFF]
When the mode is set to ADJ ON, fine adjustment of
ALC/ AGC/ELC convergence level can be made with
the iris VR control on the RCU (RCB) if the camera is
used with an RCU (RCB) and the iris mode is set to
AUTO in the SETUP menu.
!7Synchroscan Adjustment
[SYNCHRO-SCAN: 1/525 to 253/ 525]
Shutter speed can be adjusted when the shutter
speed mode is set to SYNCHRO in the SETUP menu.
In shooting a monitor screen, for example, set the
shutter speed mode is set to SYNCHRO and use this
item for shutter speed adjustment so that horizontal
bar noise will be reduced.
!8CCD Read Out Mode Setting [FLD/FRM: FIELD/
FRAME]
The position FIELD means CCD field storage.  The
position FRAME means frame storage, in which case
vertical resolution increases.
FIELD:Set to this mode when shooting moving object
FRAME:Set to this mode when shooting still object
* It is recommended that the mode be normally kept at
FIELD because, if the mode is set to FRAME, residual
image will increase.!9Gamma Correction ON/OFF Setting [GAMMA: ON,
OFF]
Gamma correction ON/OFF can be set.
* Gamma correction level can be set using a user set
menu.

Horizontal phase can be adjusted when a genlock sig-
nal is supplied.
@3Sub Carrier Phase Coarse Adjustment
[SC COARSE: 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°]
Coarse adjustment of sub carrier phase can be made
when a genlock signal is supplied.
