OFF:Select this setting to stop the fan when its oper-
ating sound is found to be bothersome in a studio
or other such environment.

the fan starts operating when the temperature
exceeds approx. 10°C in the storage mode or
approx. 35°C in any other mode.
Under normal circumstances, the “Auto” setting is
used.9. Auto Focus Setting [Auto Focus: OFF, ON] 
(model AW-E655 only)
This enables auto focus ON and OFF to be controlled
when the zoom/focus cable of a Canon AF lens has

lished. Irradiate the subject with infrared light.
Normal:Under normal circumstances, this setting is
used.
1/16ND:The 1/16 ND filter is inserted. Use this set-
ting when the lens cannot be stopped down
enough by the diaphragm.
1/64ND:The 1/64 ND filter is inserted. Use this set-
ting when the lens cannot be stopped down
enough by the diaphragm even at the 1/16ND
setting.

scenes if it is not possible to achieve a satisfacto-
ry video output even when the lens diaphragm is
opened.

N/Eye L (Night Eye L) :Use this setting if it is not
possible to achieve a satisfactory video output
even at 30 dB.
N/Eye H (Night Eye H) :Use this setting if it is not
possible to achieve a satisfactory video output
even at the Night Eye L setting.
AW-E350
N/Eye (Night Eye) :Use this setting if it is not possi-
ble to achieve a satisfactory video output even at
30 dB.• Only 0 dB, 9 dB, or 18 dB, AGC LOW, AGC HIGH
can be selected in case of using the RCU (RCB).
If the lens iris switch is at MANUAL, when operat-
ing the camera alone or when the iris switch on the
RCU (RCB, Hybrid control panel) is at AUTO, AGC
may not function.

used.Auto:ALC is performed followed by AGC and then
by the data storage, and the camera automatical-
ly adjusts the light quantity.

to the optimum position.
AWC A, AWC B:Color temperature conditions at
two points can be stored at AWC A and AWC B.
Once the white balance is adjusted with the
ITEM/AWC switch on the back of the camera, it
is no longer necessary to set the white balance
again if you simply select AWC A or AWC B,
provided that the camera is used under the
same conditions.
Fine color adjustment can be made after setting
AWC by red/blue gain adjustment in Painting
Setting or from the RCU (RCB).

The black level (pedestal) of the luminance (Y) signal
can be set. Used in adjusting the black levels of two
or more cameras.
5. Painting Setting 
[Painting: R Gain, B Gain, R Pedestal, B Pedestal:
–150 to +150]
R Gain, B Gain: Fine adjustment of the white balance
can be made after AWC setting when AWC A or
AWC B is selected in White Balance Setting.
In case of using the RCU (RCB), use the R/B gain
controls for this purpose. The set value returns to
±0 after AWC setting in using the camera alone.
R Pedestal, B Pedestal:Fine adjustment of the black
balance can be made after ABC setting.
In case of using the RCU (RCB), use the R/B
pedestal controls for this purpose. The set value
returns to ±0 after ABC setting in using the cam-
era alone.
