Points to Note During Use

For important shootings, perform trials in advance to ensure that they are properly recorded.
We will not compensate for contents lost due to the malfunction of this unit.
Characteristic CCD Phenomena
Smear and Blooming
When shooting a bright light source, the CCD may induce white streaks (smear) in the vertical direction of the light source. When the light source is extremely bright, light of the surroundings may expand (blooming).
Aliasing
Note that a jagged effect may occur when shooting striped patterns or lines.
White spot
Operating this unit under a high temperature may give rise to white spots in the image. Ensure to use this unit within the specified range (–5˚C to 40˚C). White spots may also appear when set to slow shutter. This unit comes with the white spot correction feature that helps to reduce this phenomenon. Page 28
Precautions During Handling
Strong Electromagnetic Waves or Magnetism
When placed near radios or TV transmitters, or transformers and monitors that emit strong magnetism, noise or color change may occur in the image. Ensure that this unit is kept away from the above during use.

White Spot Correction

As a peculiar common characteristic of CCD, white spots may appear on the screen when it is operated under high temperature or when shutter speed is prolonged during use. This unit comes with a white spot correction feature to reduce this phenomenon.
How To Use
Detection of White Spots
The quantity and size of white spots differ with the temperature and shutter speed during use. Before using the white spot correction feature, it will thus be necessary to detect the position of the white spots under the conditions of use.

Notes
The white spot correction feature of this unit does not correct all white spots. Detection and correction of
white spots by this unit is performed under the following conditions. White spot correction will not be performed under conditions beyond those stated. In cases where conditions are fulfilled, correction may not be successfully performed depending on the nature of the white spots. In such case, perform the detection again until white spots are detected. Consult your JVC authorized dealer if white spots cannot be corrected. Quantity of Detection/Correction: 32 or less
The screen on the right may be displayed during detection of white spots
in cases when light enters the CCD during detection or depending on the condition of white spots. In this case, check if there is light entering the CCD.
During white spot correction, pixel data is obtained via interpolation of
pixel information from the surroundings. Thus data may not be accurate for fine images.
Results of white spot detection will be stored until the next detection is
performed.
During white spot detection, operation via the remote control will be dis-
abled.

Technical Information

Slow Shutter Function
To brighten the images taken in dark places etc. This function is not achieved through the method of increasing gain electronically. It is accomplished by accumulating charges stored in the CCD imaging device. In addition, by lengthening the duration for accumulating charges, more charges could be stored in the CCD and hence allowing high sensitivity images to be taken under low lighting condition. The maximum accumulation timing is up till 240 frames (approx. 8 seconds).

Normal image level cannot be used under the auto iris mode. Please use the manual iris mode.
Noise may increase when the number of frames increases, as such, set to an appropriate value.
Random Trigger Function
For verifying the image of a fast moving object detected. If the trigger signal for the object detected is input, charges will start to accumulate in the CCD imaging device at the camera. The accumulated charges will be output following the next SYNC signal while simultaneously, the SI signal will be output as well, hence allowing the images to be stored in the memory.
