 Once the white balance has been attained, no further
adjustment is required provided that the unit is going to be
used under the same conditions.
Black balance adjustment (see page 25)
 This adjustment is performed to express the black
accurately. Its setting also has an effect on the color tones
of the entire screen.
 It must be performed when using the unit for the first
time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged
period.
 It must be performed when the ambient temperature has
changed significantly and at the change of the seasons.
 Once the black balance has been attained, no further
adjustment is required provided that the unit is going to be
used under the same conditions.
Black level (master pedestal) adjustment
(see pages 26 to 27)
 This adjustment is performed to align the black level
(pedestal level) of a multiple number of cameras.
 Ask your dealer to perform this adjustment.
Genlock adjustment (see page 28)
 This adjustment is performed to achieve phase alignment
by applying external synchronization (genlock) when a
multiple number of cameras will be used or when the unit
will be used in combination with other devices.
 Ask your dealer to perform this adjustment.

Manually adjusting the focus
The lens focus can be adjusted manually.
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
1 Press the [M/FOCUS] button to switch the
focus to manual adjustment.
2 Press the [F] or [N] button of [FOCUS], and
adjust the focus.
When the [F] button is pressed, the focus moves further
away (far); conversely, when the [N] button is pressed, it
moves nearer (near).
The speed of focusing and other adjustments can
be switched to fast or slow by pressing the [FAST] or
[SLOW] button, respectively.
3 If necessary, press the [A/FOCUS] button to
return the focus to the automatic adjustment.
When performing the operations using the controller
When the AW-RP655 is connected:
1 Press the [EXT(AF)] button to switch the focus
to manual adjustment.
2 Adjust the focus manually by turning the dial
above the lit [FOCUS] lamp whether it is the
lamp of the [PAN/TILT] lever or [ZOOM] lever.
Furthermore, every time the [SPEED] button is pressed,
the speed of the focusing and other adjustments can be
switched to fast or slow.
3 If necessary, press the [EXT(AF)] button to
return the focus to the automatic adjustment.
When the AW-RP555 is connected:

Therefore, the unit comes with a function which
compensates for this. (Focus compensation during
zooming function: Focus ADJ With PTZ.)
This function was set to ON at the factory.
If the function has been set to OFF, either adjust the
focus, as required, after zooming or set the focus to
auto. (See page 49 and page 73.)

Shooting
Manual shooting (continued)
Manually adjusting the shutter speed
The shutter speed can be set using two methods. One is
a method that specifies the time (where a time such as
1/250 sec. is designated), and the other is a method that
specifies the frequency (where synchro scan, 60.17 Hz, etc.
is designated).
When shooting a TV screen or PC monitor screen, the
horizontal noise generated when the screen is shot can
be minimized by adjusting the frequency to the screen
frequency using synchro scan.
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
Perform the adjustments on the Camera menu.
For further details, refer to the [Shutter Mode] on page 38 and
[Step/Synchro] items on page 39.
When performing the operations using the controller
The procedure is the same as for “When performing the
operations using the wireless remote control” in “Basic
operations” (pages 29 to 36).
When the AW-RP555 is connected:
1 Press the [SHUTTER] button and turn its lamp
on.
The shutter speed set ahead of time is selected.
2 If necessary, press the [SHUTTER] button and
turn its lamp off in order to return the shutter to
the OFF setting.
 How to set the shutter speed using the AW-RP555
1 With the [MEMORY] button still held down,
press the [SHUTTER] button.
The [PRESET] [1] to [5] and [6] to [10] buttons blink
alternately.
2 Press one of the [1] to [8] buttons or the
[10] [PRESET] button — whichever button
corresponds to the shutter speed which is to
be set.
Any of the shutter speeds in the table below can be set.
[When 59.94 Hz has been set as the unit’s frequency]
OFF 1/59.94 [6] 1/4000

[1] 1/120 [7] 1/10000
[2] 1/250 [8] Synchro Scan
[3] 1/500 [9] ELC
[4] 1/1000 [10] OFF
[5] 1/2000
 Any change in the shutter speed is reflected the next
time the [SHUTTER] button is pressed and its lamp is
turned on.
 When OFF is selected, the shutter will not operate
even when the [SHUTTER] button is pressed.
 Select the synchro scan setting on the menu.

Manual shooting (continued)
Manually adjusting the gain
There are two ways to adjust the gain. One way involves
using the buttons on the wireless remote control or controller;
the other way involves using the Camera menu or Web
setting.
The gain can be adjusted more precisely using the Camera
menu or Web setting.
For further details, refer to the [Gain] item on page 39 and

Adjustment
Preset memories
This unit enables up to 100 settings for the camera direction
(panning and tilting), zoom, focus, iris, gain and white
balance to be registered in its preset memories, and called.
However, the number of settings that can be registered and
called depends on the type of wireless remote control or
controller that is used for operation.
 The focus and iris operating modes (manual and auto
settings) are neither registered nor recalled.
The current focus and iris values are registered.
 The focus and iris values can be recalled only when the
manual settings are applicable.
 For the white balance, the current White Balance Mode
adjustment values are registered. If a preset value
is recalled when AWB A or AWB B is selected, the
adjustment value selected when it was registered as a
preset will be recalled.
 The White Balance Mode (ATW, AWB A or AWB B)
stored using the AW-RP655 are recalled only when the
AW-RP655 is connected.
 When there is a large difference in the environmental
temperature between the time of registration and the
time the setting is called, displacement of the preset
position may occur.
 If displacement occurs, perform registration again.
 When a manual operation is performed for pan, tilt,
zoom, focus or iris during preset recall, the preset
operation for the pan, tilt, zoom, focus or iris operation
concerned will be aborted.
 If another preset has been recalled during an ongoing
preset recall, the preset being recalled is aborted,
and operation for the preset called last is performed
instead.
Notes
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
Twelve settings (preset No.1 to No.12) can be registered and
called using the wireless remote control.
