Panasonic High Sensitivity Card Aw Pb303 Operating Instructions

							-11- For details on operation and adjustment, refer to the
operating instructions for the camera.
(1) Switch on the individual devices.
(2) Adjust lens flange-back.
• Flange-back adjustment is necessary if you are
using the camera for the first time, or if the lens has
been changed.
• A long charge time makes adjustment difficult.  It is
recommended, therefore, that you adjust it after set-
ting the charge time to OFF in a bright place (See
page 13.).
(3) Set the charge time according to the intensity of
illumination of the object you are shooting.  
(See page 13.)
(4) Adjust the lens iris and focus.
(5) Adjust the white balance.
• It is necessary if you are using the camera for the
first time, or if you haven’t used it for a long time.
• It is also necessary if a change has been made in
the lighting conditions or light intensity.• Once adjusted, the white balance does not need to
be adjusted again unless the conditions of use are
changed.
(6) Adjust the black balance.
• It is necessary if you are using the camera for the
first time, or if you haven’t used it for a long time.
• It is also necessary if the ambient temperature has
considerably changed or at the turn of a season.
• Once adjusted, the black balance does not need to
be adjusted again unless the conditions of use are
changed.
• After inserting the card AW-PB303, it takes a longer
time for black balance adjustment because of the
black balance correction that takes place during
storage operation.
(7) Shoot the object.
(After using the camera, switch off the individual
devices.)
• To change the camera settings according to the use
and conditions, refer to the operating instructions for
the camera.
• To change the charge time set, see page 13.

twice as high as that when 1 second is set.
• CCD reading frame storage
Setting : Auto→OFF→1/15→1/8→1/4→1/2→1→2
Auto : Camera automatically adjusts light quantity
in the order of ALC→AGC→Storage.

twice as high as that when 1/8 second is
set.
1/2 : Storage for 1/2 second.  Sensitivity is about
twice as high as that when 1/4 second is
set.

set.
2 : Storage for 2 second.  Sensitivity is about
twice as high as that when 1 second is set.
Note 1:Field storage and frame storage  (For
details, refer to the operating instructions for the
camera.)
There are two ways of CCD read:  field storage
read and frame storage read.  In case of stor-
age operation using the high-sensitivity card,
frame read increases the vertical resolution over
field read, and produces pictures of higher defi-
nition, but lowers the sensitivity by half.  If frame
read is set, therefore, the minimum intensity of
illumination will be about one half the specified
value.Note 2:Electronic shutter operation  (For details,
refer to the operating instructions for the cam-
era.)
•The electronic shutter does not work during
storage operation (other than when Auto or OFF
is set).
Under halogen lights or fluorescent lights, or in out-
door mode
• [AUTO ND (ELC)] selection is inhibited.
(Unselectable)
• If [Fine] is chosen in [V Resolution] selection, the
electronic shutter only will be off.
In user mode
• [Shutter mode] selection is inhibited.
(Unselectable)
• If [Frame 2] is chosen in [Field/Frame] selection,
the electronic shutter only will be off.  When
[Frame 1] or [Frame 2} is selected, display will
be in [Frame].  Operation is the same as when
[Frame 1] is selected. 
						

							-15- •Neither step nor synchro scan is valid in Auto
mode.
The ELC (AUTO ND) function only can be turned on
or off.
When the ELC (AUTO ND) function is turned on,
light quantity is automatically adjusted in the order
of ELC→ALC→AGC→Storage.
•Operation with this function turned OFF is the
same as normal camera operation.
