1. INTRODUCTION
PRECAUTIONS ON PROPER USE
• When recording an important event, be sure to try the
camera first before using it in order to check that the cam-
era operates properly.
• JVC does not guarantee the contents of a recording if the
color video camera, VCR or video cassette malfunctions
during recording.
䡵Unique phenomenon of CCD
䢇SMEAR AND BLOOMING
Due to the physical structure of the CCDs in this camera it is
possible to induce vertical streaking which is called smear
when shooting a light source with high luminance.
Another effect is the spreading of light around a bright light
or object called Blooming.
To protect your image against lens flare (internal lens reflec-
tions), JVC has adopted a CCD which has less of these phe-
nomenon, however, please be careful when shooting a light
source with high luminance.
䢇When stripe pattern or lines are shot, they may become jag-
ged.
䢇White dot
Whit dots may appear on a screen when operating at high
temperature.
䡵Please turn off the power switch when camera is
not in use.
䡵RS-232C INTERFACE
With regard to CONTROL COMMAND etc., please consult
with your local JVC authorized service dealer.
䡵HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
䢇Storage
Avoid using or placing the unit in places;
• subject to extreme heat or cold;
• with excessive dirt or dust;
• with high humidity or moisture;
• subject to strong vibrations or on an unstable surface
• subject to smoke or vapor such as near a cooking stove;
• also do not leave the unit for long hours in a parked car
under direct sunlight or near room heating equipment.
䢇Ambient Temperature
Ambient temperature influence to an image sensing device.
Make sure to operate the camera in the temperature range
of –5˚C to 45˚C.
䢇Ventilation holes
A malfunction may be caused if heat is not properly venti-
lated. Make sure that the cooling fan ventilation holes are not
blocked by an obstruction.
䢇Effects of strong electric waves and magnetism
To avoid picture interference and color variation, do not use
the camera near a radio, TV antenna, transformers or mo-
tors which generate strong magnetic field.
䢇COMPATIBLE LENSES
The lens mount for this camera, KY-F58 is a C-Mount, how-
ever, there remain some lenses adopting a C-Mount which
cannot be used because of camera limitations.
Refer to “MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL LENS (T14 x 5.5MD)
TO THE CAMERA HEAD” on page 9.
The KY-F58 is not equipped with a back focus adjustment
feature, therefore a lens with this feature should be mounted.
䢇EFFECT FROM A WIRELESS MICROPHONE
When using a wireless microphone or a receiver, noise inter-
ference might be pick-up during recording. Please check this
before using.
䢇CLEANING THE BODY
When cleaning the cabinet, wipe it with soft cloth.
Do not use benzene or thinner as these may deform or
discolor the cabinet surface.
To remove excessive dirt, clean the unit with a mild deter-
gent diluted with water, then wipe it with dry cloth.
SMEAR
Vertical streaks trailing
from a bright object.

MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL LENS (T14 X 5.5MD) TO THE CAMERA HEAD
1. Remove the lens mount cap for the camera.
Be careful no dust gets into the mounting hole when you
remove it.
2. Attach the screw of the camera head mount section to that
of the lens mount section. Turn the mount fastening ring
slowly clockwise and fix the lens to the camera head by
screwing it firmly.
To change the attitude angle of the lens rotating direction.
1Turn the mount fastening ring counter-clockwise from the
lens side.
2Turn the lens slowly to adjust the attitude angle, and fas-
ten it again firmly with the mount fastening ring.
3. Plug in the lens cable to the LENS connector of the camera
head and fasten it firmly.
For more details, refer to the Instructions for the Lens.
Note:
The KY-F58 is not equipped with a lens.
When a lens other than the T14x5.5MD
of the 3-CCD C-mount lens is used, it may
cause the KY-F58 to malfunction. When
such a lens is used, the lens' height
should not be more than 4 mm above the
lens mount surface.

䡵Drop prevention
• When this unit is installed on a ceiling or a wall, special care is required. Do
not try to install it by yourself. Leave this to a specialist. If the unit drops
from the ceiling or the wall, it may injure people or cause an accident.
• To prevent the unit from dropping, install it securely to the place, and attach
it with a wire, etc. For the installation, use the bracket fixing screw hole
located on the side where there is no camera mounting bracket
attached.(M2.6 x 6 mm)
Give thought to the length of the drop prevention wire.

tor.
1. Connect a color video monitor to the VIDEO OUPUT termi-
nal of the KY-F58.
2. Open the cover and switch the Lock switch to OFF.
3. Press the “ITEM+” button to output the color bar signal (the
color bar conforms to the SMPTE [U Ver.] or EBU [E Ver.] )
4. While displaying the color bar, set the BLUE CHECK of the
monitor to “ON”.
The screen becomes blue only mode and color bar becomes
blue stripe pattern.
5. [U Ver.]
Turn the CHROMA adjustment volume on the monitor to
adjust the color bar so that the brightness of 1and 8,
and 7and
14
become the same.
[E Ver.]
Turn the CHROMA adjustment volume on the monitor to
adjust the color bar so that the brightness of
1
and
7
become the same.

[E Ver.]
While the BLUE CHECK is ON, turn the PHASE adjust-
ment volume of the monitor to adjust the color bar, so that
the brightness of
3
and
5

7. [U Ver.]
In case the brightness of 1and 8, and 7and
14
change
when carrying out the PHASE adjustment, start the proce-
dure again from step
4 .
[E Ver.]
In case the brightness of
1
and
7
change when carrying
out the PHASE adjustment, start the procedure again from
step 4 .
8. Set the BLUE CHECK of the monitor to OFF to return to the
normal screen (to display all colors, R, G and B).

4. BASIC ADJUSTMENT BEFORE USE (Cont’d)
WHITE SHADING ADJUSTMENT
Green or magenta color appears on the top or bottom of the screen, this is because the white balance is adjusted at the center of the
screen but not at the top or bottom of the screen. This is caused by the characteristics of a lens and to compensate it is called white
shading compensation.

1. Display the MENU screen by pressing the MENU button.
2. Move a cursor to “2. WHITE BALANCE” with the ITEM but-
ton, then press the SET button to display the “WHITE BAL-
ANCE” screen.
3. Set the SHADING MODE item to the “MANUAL” by pressing
the DATA+ button or the DATA– button.
4. Change the items on the LEVEL<R>, LEVEL<G> and
LEVEL<B> with the DATA+ and DATA- button while watching
the monitor screen.
When the number increases, the color on the bottom of the
screen is suppressed and the color on the top is emphasized.
5. When the settings for all channels (R channel, G channel, B
channel) are completed, carry out the white balance adjust-
ment again.
6. To register the setting values of the white shading to the FILE,
return to the normal screen then press the MEMORY button
for 2 seconds or more.

The shutter speed is set to that at the FREEZE screen .
Note:
ALC can not be set when the FREEZE item of the FREEZE screen is set to
RANDOM TRG, Flash or SLOW.
Note:
When the shutter speed is increased, the light volume may not be high
enough. Therefore an adjustment of the lens’ iris or sensitivity is necessary.
Also, attention is required to the picture quality because the GAIN is boosted,
the sensitivity increases and causes a rough appearance to the picture.
The shutter speed can be varied when the SHUTTER is set to the V.SCAN or the
STEP.
Increase shutter speed: Press the DATA+ button.
Decrease shutter speed: Press the DATA- button.
It is recommended to set the RANDOM SHUT to 1/100 [U Ver.] or 1/120 [E Ver.] in
the area with 50 Hz [U Ver.] or 60Hz [E Ver.] to decrease flickers when an object is
shot under a fluorescent lamp.
