Preface
Panasonic's WV-CW384 and WV-CW380 cameras introduce high picture quality by use of Super-Dynamic 1/3-inch type {1/3"}
CCD and digital signal processing LSIs. These cameras are designed for installation on the wall or the ceilling, using the sup-
plied camera mount bracket.
Features
Introduction of SUPER-D3 (super dynamic function)
Integration of SUPER-D3 into the CCD and signal processing circuit has achieved approximately 160 times higher dynamic
range as compared with conventional camera. Therefore, a photographic subject on which much illuminance difference exists
resulting from bright and dark areas can be naturally displayed in an image.
Auto back focus function (ABF) equipped
The back focus adjustment can be performed through the operation buttons on this unit and the setup menu.
The back focus can be remotely adjusted through the system controller (option) even after installation of this unit. The auto
back focus function also allows users to correct out of focus when changing between color and black-and-white images.
High sensitivity achieved thanks to noise reduction function
The introduction of low noise circuit design has achieved excellently high sensitivity resulting in the minimum illuminance of
0.65 lx in the color mode and 0.09 lx in the black-and-white mode.
Night monochrome image activation function equipped
No operation is required at night because the image automatically changes from the color mode to the black-and-white mode
at low illuminance.
Motion detector function equipped
If motion is observed in the monitor, the camera is covered with a cloth, a cap, or the like, or the camera direction is changed
during monitoring, an alarm signal is provided.

nAdjust the focus
Focus adjustment must be performed when camera angle
(☞page 15) adjustment are performed.
1. Repeat the steps (1) and (2) to adjust the view angle
and focus.
(1) Rotate the zoom adjustment ring to adjust the view
angle between TELE and WIDE.
(2) Loosen the focus lock knob, make coarse adjust-
ment of the focus, and then tighten the focus lock
knob.
2. Press the auto back focus button after adjusting the view angle while viewing the monitor
for adjustment.
→The focus position indicator is displayed in the lower part of the screen, and the back
focus is automatically adjusted.
3. To perform fine adjustment of the back focus after automatic back focus adjustment, use the operation buttons through the
setup menu. (☞page 31)
Notes:
• No operation for 10 seconds or more automatically clears the focus position indicator.
• To change the angle of view by moving the zoom adjustment ring, also move the focus lock knob to adjust the focus.
<How to adjust the focus>
• When an auto iris lens is used to shoot a photographic subject, the originally adjusted focus may be slightly off depending
on the iris state resulting from the focal depth of the lens. In such a case, open the aperture by darkening the subject as
much as possible in the same way of taking picture, and then adjust the focus. Defocus can be prevented.
Use of "ABF" of "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" in the setup menu (☞page 31) allows users to adjust the focus optimally in the
range of the capability to automatically follow the variation in illuminance. (Note: The adjusted focal point is not necessarily
the same as the optimal focal point at the illuminance.)
• The out-of-focus level in the near-infrared light region may be higher than that in the visible light region.
Setting "C/L ←→ B/W" of "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" to "AUTO" or "PRESET" in the setup menu allows users to adjust the focus
in both the near-infrared light and visible light regions. (The variation in illuminance is not followed after focus adjustment.)
<How to use varifocal lens>
• Reset the back focus position to restore the default position before the back focus adjustment. (Hold down the right and
left buttons among the operation buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds or more, or move the cursor to "MANUAL-ADJ" of
"BACK-FOCUS SETUP" in the setup menu and hold down the right and left buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds or more
after pressing the setting button.)
