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 Centre).
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 Centre).
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
Centre). 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˚C and
0˚C.
(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.

Flange-back adjustment
If the pick-up surface is not correctly positioned with relation to the lens focal point, the picture will be out of
focus (in particular when using auto-iris power zoom lenses, sold separately). If that is the case, adjust the
flange-back position as described below.
1Using a + screwdriver, loosen the flange-back lock screw (M2:+).
2Set the zoom lens to the maximum telephoto position, set the focus using the focus ring on the lens.
3Set the zoom lens to the maximum wide angle position, set the focus using the flange-back adjustment
lever.
4Repeat steps 2 and 3, until the image stays in focus when changing from a telephoto shot to a wide angle
shot.
When the setting is complete, tighten the flange-back lock screw.
Note:
When flange-back lock screw is completely tighten it will protrude slightly as shown in the illustration (Fig 1).
Do not tighten the screw further.

MOUNTING THE LENS
Check the lens mount
Do not use a lens if the length “L” is more than 5 mm. That may damage the
camera and prevent proper installation.
Installation of a DC type auto-iris lens (sold separately)
A 1/3 inch CS mount type lens without EE amplifier circuit that only uses a DC power source. This camera can
receive (the A I LENS switch to the DC type) a CS mount type lens without the need of an adaptor.
If the lens plug shape or wiring does not correspond, please install the supplied plug as indicated in the pin
layout table.
Installation of a VIDEO type auto-iris lens (sold separately)
A 1/2 or 2/3 inch C mount type lens with EE amplifier circuit that uses the video signal and a DC power source.
1Remove the lens mount cap.
2Attach the supplied C mount adaptor (A) to the auto-iris lens (B), then install the assembly on the camera.
3Connect 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.
•If they are different than indicated, remove the original plug and connect the supplied plug according to
the diagram.

SETTINGS
Line phase adjustment
When using a camera switcher to connect 2 cameras or more to one
monitor, there may be a vertical roll of the images when switched. In
such a case, set as described below.
1Set the SYNC switch to the L-L position.
2Switch the display on the monitor from camera 1 to camera 2.
Adjust the LINE PHASE volume on camera 2 until the vertical roll
of the image stops.
If more than two cameras are used, please repeat this procedure
for all the cameras.
CAUTION:
If the vertical roll cannot be corrected by setting the LINE PHASE
volume on camera 2, try setting the LINE PHASE volume on camera
1. If it still cannot be corrected, please check that the polarity of the
power cords of all connected devices is correct.
White balance adjustment
Normally the WB (white balance) switch is set
to the A (automatic) position and the white
balance is adjusted automatically. If a manual
white balance adjustment is necessary, follow
the steps below.
Set the WB switch to the M (manual) position,
then adjust the color.

If using a DC type auto-iris lens, you will need to set the LEVEL
(VR301) 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.
Backlight compensation setting
Use an auto-iris lens and set the EI/BLC switch to the BLC-ON
position, to engage the backlight compensation function.
If using a VIDEO type auto-iris lens
•The ALC volume on the lens should be turned all the way to Av
(Average).
•If the backlight compensation function does not compensate
properly for the conditions, set using the LEVEL volume on the
lens.

Use a manual or fixed iris lens and set the lens aperture to the
shortest F stop. Set the EI/BLC switch to the 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 CCD. In
that case, use a manual iris lens.

Notes:
•After the power has been turned off, switching will restart from
color, when the power is restored.
•A sound may be heard when the color image or black and white
image is switched. Also, the image will be distorted as shown in
Fig 1, this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
•When using infrared lighting, if there is a strong reflection on the
subject, the optical filter may switch from black and white to color
mdoe, Use only enough infrared lighting so that the mode is not
switched.
•The focus setting may be different in black and white mode and
color mode. Please check the focus setting in both modes.
