    Characteristics
       An inter-communications headset can be 
    used and its volume adjusted.
      
    The STANDBY/ON switch function of 
    the viewfinder (WV-VF65B, AW-VF80) is 
    incorporated.
        Output signals (brightness and 
    composite video signals) to the 
    viewfinder can be switched using the 
    menu settings.
        Zebra pattern and safety zone displays 
    appearing in the viewfinder can be 
    switched using the menu settings.
      The VIDEO ON/OFF switch function of 
    the viewfinder (AW-VF64) is incorporated. 
    (  In order to prevent CRT burn-in, the 
    AW-VF64 does not come with a standby 
    function.)
    Introduction
    Installing the studio card in a convertible 
    camera (such as the AW-E350, AW-E650,  
    AW-E655, AW-E750 and AW-E860) and 
    mounting the camera on the interface 
    bracket makes it possible for a viewfinder 
    and/or inter-communications headset to 
    be used and thus enable the camera to be 
    used as a studio camera.
    Notes
        The AW-PB305A cannot be installed 
    to the following models;  
    AW-RP605, AW-PB605
        When the studio card unit is to be 
    discarded at the end of its service 
    life, ask a specialized contractor 
    to dispose of it properly in order to 
    protect the environment.
        When connecting or disconnecting a 
    cable from any unit, ensure that the 
    power to that unit is turned off.
        Do not drop this product or subject it to 
    strong shock or vibration, as this may 
    cause it to malfunction.
        Avoid using the unit in very humid or 
    dusty locations, as this may cause it to 
    malfunction.
        Avoid using the product at a cold place 
    below 14°F (–10°C) or at a hot place 
    above 113°F (+45°C) because extremely 
    low or high temperature will adversely 
    affect the parts inside.
