1. INTRODUCTION

PRECAUTIONS ON PROPER USE

• When recording an important event, be sure to try the camera first before using it in order to check that the camera operates properly.

• JVC does not guarantee the contents of a recording if the color video camera, VCR or video cassette malfunctions during recording.

䡵 Unique phenomenon of CCD

䢇 SMEAR AND BLOOMING

Due to the physical structure of the CCDs in this camera it is possible to induce vertical streaking which is called smear when shooting a light source with high luminance. Another effect is the spreading of light around a bright light or object called Blooming. To protect your image against lens flare (internal lens reflections), JVC has adopted a CCD which has less of these phenomenon, however, please be careful when shooting a light source with high luminance.

SMEAR Vertical streaks trailing from a bright object.

Bright object (i.e. light bulb, sun, etc.)

BLOOMING Bright portion bleeds

䢇 When stripe pattern or lines are shot, they may become jag-

䡵 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

䢇 Storage

Avoid using or placing the unit in places;

• subject to extreme heat or cold;

• with excessive dirt or dust;

• with high humidity or moisture;

• subject to strong vibrations or on an unstable surface

• subject to smoke or vapor such as near a cooking stove;

• also do not leave the unit for long hours in a parked car under direct sunlight or near room heating equipment.

䢇 Ambient Temperature

Ambient temperature influence to an image sensing device. Make sure to operate the camera in the temperature range of –5˚C to 45˚C.

䢇 Ventilation holes

A malfunction may be caused if heat is not properly ventilated. Make sure that the cooling fan ventilation holes are not blocked by an obstruction.

䢇 Effects of strong electric waves and magnetism

To avoid picture interference and color variation, do not use the camera near a radio, TV antenna, transformers or motors which generate strong magnetic field.

䢇 COMPATIBLE LENSES

The lens mount for this camera, KY-F58 is a C-Mount, however, there remain some lenses adopting a C-Mount which cannot be used because of camera limitations. Refer to “MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL LENS (T14 x 5.5MD) TO THE CAMERA HEAD” on page 9. The KY-F58 is not equipped with a back focus adjustment feature, therefore a lens with this feature should be mounted.

䢇 White dot

Whit dots may appear on a screen when operating at high temperature.

䡵 Please turn off the power switch when camera is

not in use.

䡵 RS-232C INTERFACE

With regard to CONTROL COMMAND etc., please consult with your local JVC authorized service dealer.

䢇 EFFECT FROM A WIRELESS MICROPHONE

When using a wireless microphone or a receiver, noise interference might be pick-up during recording. Please check this before using.

䢇 CLEANING THE BODY

When cleaning the cabinet, wipe it with soft cloth. Do not use benzene or thinner as these may deform or discolor the cabinet surface. To remove excessive dirt, clean the unit with a mild detergent diluted with water, then wipe it with dry cloth.

Note:

CAMERA MOUNTING

Make sure to mount the camera firmly.

Note:

The KY-F58 is not equipped with a lens. When a lens other than the T14x5.5MD of the 3-CCD C-mount lens is used, it may cause the KY-F58 to malfunction. When such a lens is used, the lens' height should not be more than 4 mm above the lens mount surface.

4mm or less

Lens

Remove the lens mount cap for the camera. Be careful no dust gets into the mounting hole when you remove it.

Attach the screw of the camera head mount section to that of the lens mount section. Turn the mount fastening ring slowly clockwise and fix the lens to the camera head by screwing it firmly.

To change the attitude angle of the lens rotating direction.

Turn the mount fastening ring counter-clockwise from the

lens side. Turn the lens slowly to adjust the attitude angle, and fas-

ten it again firmly with the mount fastening ring.

Plug in the lens cable to the LENS connector of the camera head and fasten it firmly.

For more details, refer to the Instructions for the Lens.
