HOW TO USE

1. Adjust the iris and focus of the lens so that optimum image
may be obtained.
* Usable lenses

CS-mount lenses, whose length "L" (in the illustration)
from the bearing surface of the mount is 4mm or less if
protruded, should be used.

* Using the zoom lens (adjustment of the back focus)

The camera is set at the standard back focus position when
shipped from factory. Depending on types of zoom lenses,
however, slight readjustment may be necessary.
Adjust the lens back-focus by turning the focusing dial in
either direction as per the illustration, referring to the following instructions.

Place an object at any fixed distance and set the focus ring of the zoom lens accordingly.
Set the zoom lens to full TELE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the
focus ring or the zoom lens.
Set the zoom lens to full WIDE position and obtain the best focus position by turning the
focusing dial located on the side of the camera.
Repeat procedures 2 and 3 until focus remains constant throughout the zooming range.

Note: When weight of the lens is more than 1kg (2.2lbs), the camera should be supported by the

lens rather than relying on camera mounting screw.
Adjust the back-focus only when necessary.

CS-mount

* Using an auto iris lens
When a DC driven type auto iris lens is used, set the AUTO IRIS switch at DC, and connect the
plug of the lens (for iris terminal) to the IRIS terminal on the right side of the camera.
When a video feedback type auto iris lens is used, set the AUTO IRIS switch at VIDEO, and
connect the plug of the lens (for iris terminal) to the IRIS terminal on the right side of the
camera. (Refer to Lens manual for the level adjustment.)

* When a video feedback type auto iris lens (peak/average selectable type) is used at peak

mode, BLC may not function well. In such a case, select the average mode.

2. Before your use of the camera at AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter) mode.
* When using an auto-iris lens, set the AES switch at OFF.

(The AES switch is set at OFF when shipped from factory.)

* The AES mode may increase smears on monitors, which is caused by characteristics of CCD

and is not defect.

Set the AES switch at OFF in case smears appear excessively.

CAMERA CONTROLS

AGC switch

In case of necessity, set the AGC switch to OFF position.

BLC (Black Light Control) switch

With the AGC switch at ON position, BLC are available. In case the back lighting is too bright

to shoot the main object clearly, set this switch to ON position.

INT/LL switch

• INT. (internal) control

switch

When the internal
synchronization is used,
set the switch to the INT
side.

• L.L. (Line-lock) control

switch

Matching the vertical
synchronization with
the power frequency is
called the line-lock.
When the AC24V
power supply is used,
set the switch to the LL side.
When two or more cameras are switched by the video switcher to a monitor TV, the vertical
sync. phase can be locked with the power frequency, and a stable vertical sync. is obtained
without being disturbed at the time of switching.

Caution:

1.The camera is synchronized to the power frequency of 60Hz 0.5Hz covering a normal
fluctuation of the power frequency.
The camera may not compensate for large fluctuation caused by power generated by an
engine generator, etc.

2.It takes about 10 seconds or more to obtain a stable synchronization after the power is

turned on. This is necessary to stabilize the camera against the power noise.

White balance selector

Manual or Automatic white balance modes are selectable. With the setting at AUTO position,
the camera automatically adjusts to the color temperature and adjusts the white balance. The
camera is factory-set at AUTO position. For manual adjustment, set to MANU position and set
the white balance switches as follows.
White balance (WB): According to the combination of the switches 1 and 2, the following
adjustments are available:

IRIS switch

When a DC driven type auto iris lens is used, set this switch to DC position. When a video
feedback type auto iris lens is used, set this switch to VIDEO position.

ALC LEVEL

Adjust video output level, when IRIS switch is DC position.

AES switch (Automatic Electronic Shutter)

With the AGC switch at ON position, AES are available.
By setting the AES switch, Automatic Electronic Shutter mode (1/60~1/10,000 sec) is available.

Note: In electronic shutter mode;

*Sufficient brightness is required.
*The picture will flicker when shooting under the illumination produced by fluorescent lamp.

PUSH button

• Vertical sync. phase adjustment

Vertical sync. phase adjusting is set at the position fully that the delay time of vertical sync.
phase against the phase of power frequency is shortest, when shipped from the factory.
Select this up ( ) and down ( ) button will make the delay time of vertical sync.
phase against the phase of power frequency longer.
Use the push button if the picture image on a monitor TV may flow when using the
camera in combination with other camera(s) controlled by the Line-Lock synchronization.
In this case, get a proper image by shifting the phase of vertical sync. signal of the camera
against that of the other. If a proper image cannot be obtained even after this adjustment,
reset the potentiometer to its original position, and use the function control potentiometer

of the other camera to shift the phase of vertical sync. signal of other camera.

Caution: Before making adjustment, make sure that cameras have their power supplies

connected with the same polarity. (not 180° apart)

• Manual white balance selector

When the white balance selector is set to MANU (shift change) in 4 above, the white
balance can be adjusted by using the PUSH switch. This mode will prove effective under
shooting conditions with little variation in color temperture.

* When the white balance selector is set to MANU (shift change), the vertical sync. phase can

not be adjusted.

*: Can be adjusted by the

PUSH switch.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND INSTALLATION

* Never aim the camera at the sun.

Never aim or point the camera at the sun even
if you are not shooting.

* Do not shoot intense light.

Strong light such as a spot light on the image
plane will cause blooming or smear. When
strong light comes into the image plane,
vertical stripes may appear on it. However,
this does not mean that the camera is defect.

* Take precautions when handling a camera.

Do not drop your camera, or give it a strong
shook or vibration. This may cause camera to
malfunction.

* Do not touch internal parts.

Be sure not to touch the internal parts. This
may cause to electrical shock.

* Do not let the camera get wet.

Install the camera at the place where it will
not get wet.
Should it gets wet, turn off the power
immediately and contact your dealer.

*Install your camera where no video noise

appears.
When camera cables have been laid near
electric wires or television receivers, a noise
may interfere the image.
If noise occurs, relocate cables or reinstall
equipment.

* Check the ambient temperature and humidity.

Avoid using camera in areas where
temperature is consistently hotter or colder
than the specified range (See Specifications
chart below) or poor image quality or
damaged parts may occur. Precautions should
also be taken to avoid areas of high humidity.

* Should you notice any trouble.

If any trouble occurs while you are using the
camera, turn off the camera and contact your
dealer. Failure to do so may cause damage to
the camera.

* The socket-outlet should be installed near the

equipment and should be easily accessible.
