PRECAUTIONS
In case of problem
Do not use the camera if smoke or a
strange odour comes from the unit, or if it
seems not to function correctly. Disconnect
the power cord immediately, and consult
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
entre).
Do not open or modify
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be
dangerous and cause damage to the unit.
For internal settings and repairs, consult
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service
entre).
Do not put objects inside the unit
Make sure that no metal objects or
flammable substance get inside the camera.
If used with a foreign object inside, it could
cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.
If water or a liquid gets inside the camera,
disconnect the power cord immediately,
and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo
Authorized Service entre). Be careful to
protect the camera from rain, sea water,
etc.
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damages, do not drop the
camera or subject it to strong shock or
vibration.
Install away from electric or
magnetic fields
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter,
magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio
speakers the magnetic field they generate
will distort the image.
Protect from humidity and dust
To prevent damages to the camera, do not
install it where there is greasy smoke or
steam, where the dampness may get too
high, or where there is a lot of dust.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat
generating devices, such as spotlights, etc.,
or where it could be subject to direct
sunlight, as that could cause deformation,
discoloration or other damages.
Be careful when installing close to the
ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the
temperature may raise to high levels.
Install where the temperature range will
stay between –10˚ and 50˚ .
(no condensation)
Cleaning
•Dirt can be removed from the cabinet
by wiping it with a soft cloth. To
remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth
moistened with a soft detergent
solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry
with dry soft cloth.
•Do not use benzine, thinner or other
chemical product on the cabinet, as that
may cause deformation and paint
peeling. Before using a chemical cloth,
make sure to read all accompanying
instructions. Make sure that no plastic
or rubber material comes in contact
with the cabinet for a long period of
time, as that may cause damage or
paint peeling.

screw (M2:+).
Set the zoom lens to the maximum telephoto position,
set the focus using the focus ring on the lens.

2Attach the supplied C mount adaptor (A) to the
auto-iris lens (B), then install the assembly on the camera.
3onnect the lens plug to the LENS connector on the side
of the camera.
If the lens plug shape or wiring does not correspond to
the specifications below, connect the supplied plug as
indicated.
•When using lenses from other makers, make sure that
the pins connections in the plug correspond to the
ones of the camera.
Refer to the lens specifications to check the pins
connections in the plug.

SETTINGS
Electronic iris function setting
Use a manual or fixed iris lens and set the lens aperture to the
shortest F stop. Set the EI/BLC switch to EI-ON position.
Note:
Please refer to the specifications for dynamic range of the electronic
iris.
CAUTION:
•The electronic iris is suitable for normal indoor use. When the EI/BLC switch is set to the
EI-ON position, do not use an auto-iris lens.
•If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker. In such a case, change to
incandescent lighting or set the EI/BLC switch to the OFF position and use an auto-iris
lens.
•When shooting bright subjects, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or
minimize the smear phenomenon effect.
When using an auto-iris lens (for indoor/outdoor use)
Set the EI/BLC switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION:
If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or more than the maximum
illumination, it will cause saturation of the D. In that case, use a manual iris lens.
Lens iris adjustment
If using a D type auto-iris lens, you will need to set the LEVEL
(VR401) volume when shooting in the conditions described below.
L (counterclockwise): To decrease the contrast
H (clockwise): To increase the contrast
•If shooting simultaneously in a dark room and through a bright
window.
•If the subject background is extremely bright or dark.
•If the brightness of the picture on the monitor is not correct.

position, to engage the backlight compensation function.
Use an auto-iris lens. Set the EI/BLC switch to BLC-ON switch to
the ON position.
Note:
The backlight compensation will check the light at the centre of the screen.
If using a VIDEO type auto-iris lens
•The ALC volume on the lens should be turned all the way to Av (Average).

High speed electronic shutter setting
Normally, the speed setting switches for the high speed electronic
shutter are all set to the OFF position. This sets the electronic
shutter speed to 1/60 sec. The switches can be set as indicated in
table A to select one of the 8 speeds available.
CAUTION:
•When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC
switch must be set to the OFF position.
•Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low
lighting, will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some
lights to make sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very
bright, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or
minimize the smear phenomenon effect.
