PRECAUTIONS

In case of malfunction

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 supply immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Center).

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 Center).

Do not put objects inside the unit

Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substances get inside the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, short-circuit or damage.

If water or a liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the power supply immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Center). Be careful to protect the camera from sea water, etc.

Be careful when handling the unit

To prevent damage, 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, or audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will distort the image.

Protect from humidity

To prevent damage to the camera, do not install it where there is greasy smoke or steam or where the dampness may get too high.

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 damage.

Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the temperature may rise to high levels.

Install where the temperature range will stay between –10°C and 50°C. (no condensation)

Cleaning

Dirt can be removed from the housing 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 a dry soft cloth.

Do not use benzine, thinners or other chemical products on the housing, as they 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 into contact with the housing for a long period of time, as that may cause damage or paint peeling.

Mounting Surface

The mounting surface material must be strong enough to secure the camera. Plasterboard without a backing plate is not recommended.

SETTINGS

C • B/W (color/black and white) switch setting

This switch lets you select the timing of the automatic switching of the optical filter to color image or black and white image, according to the subject brightness. The default setting is down (LOW). Set the switch according to the brightness.

1

(Fig. 1)

H: for a brighter setting than LOW

L: Standard setting

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 mode. 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.

High speed electronic shutter setting

Normally, the speed setting switches for the high speed electronic shutter are all set to the down (OFF) position. This sets the electronic shutter (ES 1, 2) speed to 1/60 sec. The switches can be set as indicated in table A to select one of the 4 speeds available.

CAUTION:

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.

SETTINGS

Backlight compensation setting		(BL-M mode: 64 sections)
This camera has two different backlight
compensation functions: Normally backlight
compensation switch 5 (BL-M) and 6 (BL-C)
are set to the down (OFF) position. Change
the backlight compensation switch settings	5	6
depending on the conditions.
• BL-M mode: Use this position when applying backlight
(Multi-spot) compensation to the whole of the screen.		(BL-C mode)

•BL-C mode: Use this position when applying backlight (Center-focus) compensation to only the central portion of the

screen.

Note:

• If switches 5 and 6 are set to the up (ON) position at the same time, the BL-M setting will have priority.

•When BL-M mode is set, scenes with no backlighting may appear extremely dark and the object may appear over-exposed. If this happens, set to BL-C mode.

8 English

SETTINGS

White balance adjustment

Normally the switch 7 (WB) is set to the down (ATW: auto white balance) position and the white balance is adjusted automatically. If a manual white balance adjustment is necessary, follow the steps below.

Set the switch 7 (WB) to the up (MANU: manual) position, then adjust the color.

•Turn R (VR302) to set the red ratio and/or B (VR303) to set the blue ratio.

Synchronization settings

The default setting is internal synchronization (INT). You can change the power supply synchronization by moving switch 8 to the up (LL) position. Refer to “Line phase adjustment” for details.

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.

1 Set the switch 8 (SYNC) to the up (LL) position.

2Switch the display on the monitor from camera 1 to camera 2. Adjust the 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.

VR322
PHASE	8

CAUTION:

If the vertical roll cannot be corrected by setting the PHASE volume on camera 2, try setting the 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.
