- 7 (E) -
 Do not attempt to disassemble the
camera or other units. In order to prevent
electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside.
 Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking,
shaking, etc. The camera contains
sensitive components which could
be damaged by improper handling or
storage.
 Do not let the lens remain uncapped
when the camera is not use. If the lens is
not installed, do not leave the lens mount
hole uncovered.
 Do not touch the surface of the lens or
prism.
 Do not use strong of abrasive detergents
when cleaning the camera body.
 Do not aim the camera toward the sun,
no matter whether it is turned on or not.

mount hole.
 Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue
designed for coated lenses, to clean the
surface of the lens or prism in the event
that it should become dirty.
 Use a dry cloth to clean the camera
if it is dirty. In case the dirt is hard to
remove, use mild detergent and wipe
gently.
 Use caution when operating the camera
in the vicinity of spot lights or bright
lights, as well as light reflecting objects
and surfaces.

Operation procedure
1
Turn on the power of each
equipment.
2
Properly adjust the light for the
object.
3
Adjust the flange back of the lens,
the iris and the focus.
 Flange back must be adjusted when
the camera is used for the first time
or after replacement of the lens.
4Adjust the white balance.
 This adjustment is needed when the
camera is used for the first time or
after leaving unused for a long time.
 The adjustment is necessary when
the lighting condition or brightness is
changed.
 After adjusting the white balance
once, re-adjustment is not needed
under the same condition.
5Adjust the black balance.
 This adjustment is needed when the
camera is used for the first time or
after leaving unused for a long time.
 The adjustment is necessary when
the ambient temperature is greatly
changed or at the change of season.
 After adjusting the black balance
once, re-adjustment is not needed
under the same condition.
6Start shooting.
(After shooting, be sure to turn off the
power of each equipment connected.)

ENGLISH
How to adjust
Flange back adjustment (for zoom lens)
The adjustment is to adjust the focus in all the range from the maximum zoom to the widest
angle of the zoom lens.
 Shoot a dark object to open the iris.
 Adjust the distance from the object to 6.6 ft. (2 m) at least, then loosen the flange back
fixing knob of the lens.
 Set the lens to the maximum zoom and adjust the focus by turning the focus ring.
 Set the lens to the widest angle and adjust the focus by turning the flange back adjust
ring.
 Repeat adjusting the focus ring and flange back adjust ring until the focus is adjusted
within the zooming range.
 After finishing the adjustment, tighten the flange back fixing knob.
Lens iris gain volume adjustment
Iris gain adjust hole (G or S) is provided at front of the lens housing. Adjust the iris
according to the following procedure by using a screwdriver.
 Set the iris select switch of the lens to A “AUTO” side.
 Turn the iris gain adjust volume to maximize the gain in such extent that no hunting
takes place.
* When CAM is selected as the IRIS MODE setting on the camera menu, IRIS gain on the menu
can be used to make adjustments.

How to adjust
White balance adjustment
Adjust the white balance after shooting a white object by at least 50% of the screen.
NOTE: If the white signal level is over 100% or less than 50%, the white balance may not
be normally adjusted.
Color temperature and white balance adjustment (reference)
When carbon is burnt, it develops various
colors of light depending on the temperature.
Natural light can be specified by color
temperature reflecting to the color developed
when carbon is burnt.
The light of 3,200K (K=Kelvin, –273°C equals
to absolute zero temperature 0K) represents
the same value (color) as what develops
when carbon is burnt at 3,200K (2,927°C).
The relationship between the color
temperature of the light source and weather
condition is indicated in the right figure. Let’s
study the difference of shooting an indoor
object from shooting one outdoors. Studios
are usually lighted with incandescent lamps
and the color temperature of a white object in
a studio is around 3,000K. The color
temperature of a white object outdoors is
around 6,500K. The former may look a little
yellowish while the latter appears somewhat
bluish when they are shot by a camera.
However, the human eye does not recognize
color differences among these objects even
under different ambient lighting conditions,
because of their adaptability to light.
The video camera reproduces color differences with high fidelity and the color of an object
somewhat different from what appears to the human eye.
Therefore, there is a need to adjust the white balance in order to correct differences
between color temperatures.
NOTE
 Color temperature outdoors may vary depending on weather conditions.

Black balance adjustment
 Adjust it with the lens closed.
When the motor drive lens is controlled from the camera, adjusting the black balance
causes the lens to be automatically closed.
Gen-lock adjustment
When multiple cameras are used or the camera is combined with other equipment, it is
necessary to adjust the phase for phase matching by external synchronization.
 Horizontal phase adjustment
Observe the waveforms of externally synchronizing signal input (black burst signal) and
video signal output by a two-phenomenon oscilloscope, and make the horizontal phase
according to the camera menu.
Adjustment with GEN-LOCK of SETTING menu
When HD synchronizing signals are input:
 Roughly adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by
H PHASE-COARSE.
 Finely adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by
H PHASE-FINE.
When SD synchronizing signals are input:
 Roughly adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by
SD-HD PHASE-COARSE.
 Finely adjust the synchronizing signal input and video signal output phases by
SD-HD PHASE-FINE. If the adjustment performed using SD-HD PHASE is not
satisfactory, use H PHASE-COARSE/FINE.
