ing where light source is fixed and light intensity is
constant. Operating color temperature range is
approx. 2 000 K – 10 000 K. When selecting AWC,

process of the adjustment. When the highlighted
indication returns to normal indication, adjust-
ment of white balance is complete.
ePress the [Right] button to select AWC.
Refer to page 61 for descriptions of how to adjust
white balance finely.
Note:
Operating color temperature range is approx. 
2 000 K – 10 000 K. When white balance is out of
operating range or illuminance of subject is too low,
white balance adjustment may not be complete.
In this case, the PUSH SW part remains being
highlighted.
[DNR]
When this function (digital noise reduction) is active,
noise may be automatically reduced under a low illumi-
nance. Select an effect level LOW or HIGH for the
digital noise reduction.

Default:OFF
Important:
• When ON is selected, the angular field of view will
become narrower and the image resolution will be
coarse. When ON is selected, install the camera
while checking the angular field of view and the res-
olution.
• The image stabilizer may sometimes not function for
the following subject.
•Dark subject
•A  subject whose brightness difference is almost
none (white wall, etc.)
•A  subject that vibrates at high pitch such as
mechanical vibration
•A  subject whose vibration amplitude is large

Configure the settings relating to the flange-back [BACK-
FOCUS]
Select the method of the flange-back length adjustment and adjust the fl\
ange-back length minutely. The settings can
be configured on the BACK-FOCUS SETUP page. Before adjusting the flang\
e-back length, adjust the lens first. 
(
☞Operating instructions)
Refer to the operating instructions for descriptions of how to display t\
he BACK-FOCUS SETUP page using the but-
tons on the camera. Refer to page 27 for how to display the BACK-FOCUS \
SETUP page using a PC.

The flange-back length is the distance between flange surface and the fo\
cal point.
Important:
• The ABF (auto back focus) function is for adjustment of the flange-b\
ack length at the installation, and for focus
compensation when shifting between color and B/W after the installation.\
 This function is not supposed to be
used for sequential action such as the auto focus function.
• It is necessary to adjust the flange-back length again when images becom\
e out-of-focus caused by aging of the
lens and the environment change, etc.
Note:
The flange-back length adjustment can be performed using the operation b\
uttons on the camera (☞operating
instructions).

[ABF]
When the [SET] button is pressed after moving the cur-
sor onto PUSH SW, the auto-back focus function will
be activated and adjust automatically the flange-back
length to a subject located at the center of the screen.
[MANUAL-ADJ]
To adjust the flange-back length finely, press the [SET]
button after moving the cursor onto MANUAL-ADJ.
The flange-back length can be adjusted manually using
the [Left] and [Right] buttons.
Notes:
• The flange-back length position will set to the default
position for the CS-mount by pressing both the [Left]
and [Right] buttons for 2 seconds or more.
•A  value displayed for INDICATOR is an indication
for the flange-back length adjustment. When the
value becomes larger, the displayed image will be
sharper.
[C/L ←→B/W]
Select a method of the flange-back length adjustment
from the following.
AUTO:Adjusts the flange-back length automatically to
correct out-of-focus which may be caused when
switching between the color image display and the
BW image display. 
PRESET:When switching between the color mode and
the B/W mode, the flange-back length position will
move to the preset position of each mode. The latest
adjusted flange-back length positions for each mode
will be memorized automatically as the preset posi-
tion.
FIX:The position will be fixed after adjusting the flange-
back length manually or using the auto back focus
function (ABF).
Default:AUTO
Notes:
• ABF is available only when OFF, X2 AUTO or X2 FIX is selected fo\
r
SENS UP. 
• AUTO of C/L 
←→B/W is available only when OFF, X2 AUTO or X2 FIX
is selected for SENS UP.

Note:AUTO Advantage:
The flange-back length position will
be most appropriate even under the environment
where light sources changes since the flange-
back length is automatically adjusted when
switching between the color image display and
the BW image display.
Disadvantage:Images will be out of focus for
several seconds while adjusting the flange-back
length automatically.
PRESET Advantage:
Defocusing may not occur since the
flange-back length position moves to the preset
position quickly. It is possible to adjust the
flange-back length to shoot a low contrast object
or a fast moving object.
Disadvantage:It is necessary to set the preset
position for both the color image display and the
BW image display.
[SETUP-SW LOCK]
Select ON or OFF to determine whether or not to use
the operation buttons on the camera for the flange-back
length adjustment.
ON:The operation buttons on the camera are unavail-
able for the flange-back length adjustment.
OFF:The flange-back length can be adjusted using the
operation buttons on the camera.
Default:OFF
Important:
• Adjust the flange-back length depending on a subject as follows.
• We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any damages resulting from th\
e use of the auto back focus function.
