Features

Features on the DXC-D35/D35P/ D35WSL/D35WSPL

The DXC-D35WSL/S35WSPL is a 16:9 wide-screen

type (4:3-16:9 switchable) digital video camera while

the DXC-D35/D35P is a 4:3 standard-screen type

digital video camera. Common features on both types

are described in this section. See also “Features on the

DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL” (page 12) for using the

DXC-D35WSL/S35WSPL.

/3-inch IT type Power HAD (WS) CCD

The DXC-D35/D35P Color Video Camera uses 2/3-

inch IT type Power HAD CCDs. (For the DXC-

D35WSL/D35WSPL, Power HAD WS CCDs are

used. ) It outperforms most of the exiting FIT type

CCD cameras for high-end use, in both picture quality

and sensitivity.

•Smear: –125 dB (DXC-D35/D35P) or –120 dB

(DXC-D35WSL/D35WSPL)

•Sensitivity: F11.0 (at 3200 K, 2000 lux)

•S/N: 63 dB (DXC-D35/D35WSL) or 61 dB (DXC-

D35P/D35WSPL)

Sophisticated image processing

TruEye™ processing makes possible the following

performance features. This new digital signal

processing has brought reproduction of natural colors

to the level achieved by the human eye.

DynaLatitude™

Enables detailed adjustment of contrast control in each

pixel in accordance with a histogram of luminance

signal levels (see page 45).

DCC+ (dynamic contrast control plus)

Prevents white breakup when shooting a high intensity

subject, and also prevents color faults in high intensity

subject.

Variety of detail corrections

•Skin detail function: this function gives a slightly softer appearance to the subject’s face. The target skin color can be automatically set.

•Black halo correction

•Red/green vertical detail correction: this function performs vertical detail compensation for both red and green signals.

•Horizontal detail frequency control

Recording and managing setup data

In addition to the setup menu that is displayed in the viewfinder screen, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/ D35WSPL is equipped with the following functions to facilitate camera head setup.

Setup file system

You can use setup files when making adjustments or settings. The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL comes with factory preset files that contain shipped settings and you can freely create user files as well.

Automatic recording of setup data (when using DSR-1/1P)

When the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL is connected to the DSR-1/1P VTR, two types of setup data can be recorded.

SetupLog™: Shooting-related environment settings

are recorded onto the tape at intervals of a few seconds. This recorded data can then be used to reproduce the same shooting conditions in subsequent shots. It also makes it easier to identify the causes of problems in previous shots.

SetupNavi™: The setup conditions selected with the

setup menu and setup files are recorded onto the tape. The recorded setup data can be copied to other camera heads so that the same setup can be shared among several camera heads.

acquisition to editing. Information necessary for editing is recorded when shooting to ensure fast and efficient editing operations. When you set a recording start (Rec IN) point or when you press the TAKE button to set a Mark IN point, the video image at that point is recorded on the tape in compressed form as an Index Picture. In addition, the time codes for such editing points (Mark IN/Mark OUT points or cue points) are recorded along with other editing point data (such as the cassette number and scene number) into cassette memory (as ClipLink log data). Unsuccessful scenes containing faults can also be marked in cassette memory as “NG”, so that only the good scenes are taken up from cassette memory when editing.

Dockable with various types of VTRs

The DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL docks with the DSR-1/1P DVCAM VTR to configure camcorder. It also docks with the PVV-3/3P Betacam SP VTR to configure a Betacam SP camcorder. In addition, the DXC-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL docks with the EVV-9000/9000P Hi-8 VTR. Using an adaptor (not supplied), it is also able to dock with a variety of existing S-VHS VTRs.

•A warm battery pack may not be able to be fully

recharged.

•Even when fully charged, battery packs gradually

lose their charge naturally. Use the battery packs as soon as possible after recharging.

•To prolong the life of battery packs, store them in a

cool place (about 20°C (68°F)), and charge in a place with an ambient temperature between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F).

•At low temperatures, the usable time of battery packs

decreases. When the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F), usable time decreases by about 10%. The usable time of battery packs increases if they are warmed to the room temperature (about 20°C (68°F)) before use at low temperatures.

•Compared to the BP-L40, the BP-L60A offers better

performance at low temperature. The BP-L60A is recommended for use at low temperature.

•Carrying a spare battery pack is recommended.

The camera adaptor automatically operates on power supplied to the VTR/CCU/CMA connector from the portable VTR, CCU-M5A/M5AP Camera Control Unit, CMA-8A/8ACE AC Adaptor or other connected device.

Note

Before use, check that the device connected to the VTR/CCU/CMA connector is able to provide the power required by the camera. If it is not able to provide the necessary power, or when it is necessary to prolong the operating time, use the camera with a separate power supply.

Chapter 2 Fitting and Connections

The BP-L40/L60A is free from memory effect. There is no need to discharge it fully before recharging.

Adjustments and Settings

White Balance Adjustment

Adjusting the white balance ensures that as lighting conditions change white objects remain white in the image and tones remain natural.

The color of light emitted varies from one light source to another, and as the lighting changes the apparent color of an illuminated subject changes. It is therefore necessary to adjust the white balance each time the principal lighting source changes.

Chapter 5

Saving an Appropriate White Balance Value in Memory

You can save two white balance values in separate memories, A and B. Unless changed, the saved values are retained for approximately ten years, even when the camera is powered off. Once a value is saved, you can automatically restore the adjustment by moving the W. BAL switch to the A or B position. This makes shooting under alternating lighting conditions easy.

Separate white balance values for each FILTER control setting

In the default case, as described above, the same two A and B white balance values apply to all four settings of the FILTER control. It is possible, however, to change the AWB MEM menu setting is advanced menu page 3 (see page 65) so that there are eight possibly different values for the A and B positions and for the four FILTER control settings.

Light Sources and Color Temperature

Adjustment of the white balance to match the light source is essential to ensure correct color rendering. The color of a light source is indicated as a color temperature in kelvins (K). It is higher for bluish light, and lower for reddish light. When the camera is shipped it is adjusted for use with video lights (halogen lamps with a color temperature of 3200 K). For use with other light sources, therefore, adjustment is required.

First use the FILTER control to set the approximate color temperature, then carry out white balance adjustment.

The following table shows typical color temperature values for different light sources.

Using the ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) Function

The ATW function continuously adjusts the white balance automatically to adapt to changes in lighting conditions.

Note

Depending on the shooting conditions, automatic adjustment may not necessarily give optimum results. For the best possible results, use the W. BAL switch.

To use the ATW function

Press the ATW button turning the indicator on. This activates the ATW function, and the ATW indication appears in the viewfinder. To disable the ATW function, press the ATW button again, turning the indicator off.

There are five shutter speeds, from

D35WSL) or

/60 s (DXC-D35P/D35WSPL) to 1/2000 s.

/100 s (DXC-D35/

Increasing the shutter speed reduces blurring when

shooting a fast-moving subject. It is also possible to

reduce flicker when shooting under fluorescent

lighting by changing the shutter speed.

CLS (Clear Scan) function

When shooting a computer screen or projected image,

horizontal bands may appear in the camera image.

This is because the vertical scan frequency of the

computer-generated image is different from the

vertical scan frequency of the video system. The clear

scan function allows you to select a vertical scan

frequency to reduce this interference.

EVS (Enhanced Vertical Scan)

This function enhances the vertical scan resolution

from 400 to 450 lines (or 450 to 530 lines) to reduce

flicker. However, this increases the aliasing.

1 Set the SHUTTER switch to the ON position.

The SHUTTER indicator in the viewfinder comes on, and it is now possible to change the shutter speed or clear scan frequency setting and to set the EVS function. (If the EVS is already selected, the SHUTTER indicator will not light.)

Notes on setting the shutter speed

•The faster you make the shutter speed, the darker the

image becomes. Check the brightness in the viewfinder, and if necessary increase the lighting level or adjust the iris.

•When the shutter speed is very fast, shooting a high

intensity subject may cause long vertical tails to appear on the highlights (smear).

Note on setting the CLS function

The vertical scan frequencies of computer screens

vary, and it may not be possible to eliminate the

interference patterns entirely. Note also that the

vertical scan frequency may change depending on the

software being run.

Lens number

If you use the lens that is not mentioned above, set the

lens number as follows:

•When using a lens without an extender, set it to 1.

•When using a lens with an extender, set it to 2.

•When using a lens with a ratio converter, set it to 2.

You can also ask a Sony dealer more precise settings

according to your lens. In this case, set it to 4.

For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the lens (or consult the lens maker).

Macrophotography

Use the macro function when the subject is less than about 90 cm (3 feet) (for the VCL-918BY) from the front of the lens. It is possible to shoot close-ups down to a range of 10 mm (wide angle, f = 9 mm).

Adjusting the Iris Sensitivity

You usually need not adjust the iris sensitivity because lenses are equipped with iris sensitivity adjustment function.

In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay happens, adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris sensitivity trimmer.

Iris sensitivity trimmer (S or IRIS GAIN is indicated.)

IRIS

GAIN

You can see the iris sensitivity trimmer when removing the gum cap on the front of the lens driving unit. Use a mini-screwdriver to turn the trimmer. If you turn it clockwise, the sensitivity increases, and if you turn it counterclockwise, the sensitivity decreases.

It is recommended that you confirm the iris sensitivity after replacing the lens.

1 Bring the lens up to the subject so that the image is

the required size.

2 Move the focusing ring to the closest focus

position.

3 Slide the M button toward the rear of the camera,

and turn the MACRO ring fully in the direction shown by the arrow.

4 Move the ZOOM selector to the MANU. position,

and turn the manual zoom control to focus the image.

Ending close-up shooting

Return the MACRO ring to its original position (turn fully in the opposite direction to the arrow in the figure).

Reducing the size of the image

After completing steps 1 to 4 above, if you wish to reduce the size of the image, turn the MACRO ring back slightly, then use the manual zoom control again to focus the image.

Important Notes on Operation

Fitting the zoom lens

It is important to fit the lens correctly, as otherwise damage may result. Be sure to refer to the section “Fitting the Lens” (See page 30).

Do not cover the unit while operating

Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause excessive internal heat build-up.

Operation and storage

Avoid storing or operating the unit in the following conditions.

•In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature

range: –10 °C to +45 °C (14 °F to 113 °F)) Remember that in summer in warm climates the temperature inside a car with the windows closed can easily exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

•In damp or dusty locations

•Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain

•Locations subject to violent vibration

•Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong

electromagnetic fields.

Shipping

Use the optional LC-421 Carrying Case for optimal shipping. If sending the camera by truck, ship, air or other transportation service, first store it in the carrying case, then pack the carrying case in the supplied carton (or an equivalent).

Care of the unit

Remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the lenses or optical filters using a blower. If the body of the camera is dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish of the unit.

In the event of operating problems

If you should experience problems with the unit, contact your supplier or Sony service representative.

Viewfinder

•Do not leave the camera with the eyepiece pointing

directly at the sun. The eyepiece lens can concentrate the sun’s rays and melt the interior of the viewfinder.

•Do not use the viewfinder close to strong magnetic

fields. This can cause picture distortion.
