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-

ged.

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.

or a rotating table, fix it firmly
by using the rotation preven­tion hole.

䡵 Drop prevention

• When this unit is installed on a ceiling or a wall, special care is required. Do
not try to install it by yourself. Leave this to a specialist. If the unit drops
from the ceiling or the wall, it may injure people or cause an accident.

• To prevent the unit from dropping, install it securely to the place, and attach
it with a wire, etc. For the installation, use the bracket fixing screw hole
located on the side where there is no camera mounting bracket
attached.(M2.6 x 6 mm)

Give thought to the length of the drop prevention wire.

4. BASIC ADJUSTMENT BEFORE USE (Cont’d)

WHITE SHADING ADJUSTMENT

Green or magenta color appears on the top or bottom of the screen, this is because the white balance is adjusted at the center of the
screen but not at the top or bottom of the screen. This is caused by the characteristics of a lens and to compensate it is called white
shading compensation.

䡵 Operations Principles of the Electronic Shutter

(with the 1/500 sec. setting)

Electric charge is stored in the CCD image sensing device only
for a 1/500 sec. before the signal is read from the CCD image
sensing device. At this time the electric charge stored previ­ously is discharged to another electrode. This process enables
shutter operations with 1/500 sec.

● Caution for electric shutter mode

• On a monitor, the movement of the object looks like the ones
taken under a strobe shot because an image of 1/500 sec. is
detected every 1/60 sec. [U Ver.] or

1/50 sec. [E Ver.]

• Flicker occurs under a light such as fluorescent lamp which
lights cyclically. Adopting a light like an incandescent lamp
which lights constantly is therefore necessary.

• With the 1/500 sec. shutter mode, the storage time of the
CCD image device is approx. 1/8 [U Ver.] or

1/10 [E Ver.]

that of normal the mode, and also the sensitivity is 1/8 [U
Ver.] or

1/10 [E Ver.]

of that of the normal mode. This causes
a shortage of light, so that it is recommended to increase
the light volume by increasing the illumination to 800% [U
Ver.] or

1000% [E Ver.]

or opening the lens iris about 3 steps.

䡵 ALC and EEI Operations

ALC stands for automatic level control, and EEI means shutter iris
control. With FULL AUTO mode, it adopts a system for maintaining
a certain level of video by combining the lens auto iris, the continu­ous variable electronic shutter (EEI) and the automatic sensitivity
adjustment circuit (ALC).
The automatic sensitivity adjustment circuit works under low illumi­nance, and the electronic shutter works under high illuminance.
Moreover, when the iris is set to AUTO, sensitivity, the iris and the
electronic shutter change continuously to acquire the appropriate
signal level automatically at any time.
In the ALC mode, there is sensitivity from 0 dB to +18 dB under low
illuminance. In the EEI mode, the electronic shutter varies the shutter
speed automatically from 1/60

1/1600 [E Ver.]

Ver.] or

[U Ver.] or

sec. The signal level is adjusted in the range
of 3 ( dark) to 5 ( bright).
When the iris is set to the manual mode, the sensitivity and the
electronic shutter vary continuously without varying the iris setting.
This function enables recording an object without varying its depth
under variable illuminance.

This is the calculated value, which is different from the actual
value displayed on the screen.

to 1/1920

䡵 SLOW SHUT Function

This function is used to record an object brighter than it ap­pears in a dark place.
This function adopts a system which acquires higher electric
charge by taking a longer time for storing electric charge into
the CCD image device, not that the system increases GAIN
electrically. This enables the recording of an image with high
sensitivity even under conditions of less light.
The max. storage time is approx. 8 sec. (240 frames [U Ver.]

200 frames [E Ver.]

memory by using a WEN signal which is output at the same

䡵 Random Trigger Function

This is used to detect an object in order to recognize the
image.
When the trigger signal detecting object is input, an electric
charge is stored in the CCD image device on the camera,
and it is output syncronized with the next SYNC signal. At
this time an WEN signal is also output to be used for the
memory latch. On a monitor, the movement of the object looks
like when taken under a strobe shot.
Two modes can be selected by the output timings of the cam­era corresponding to the trigger input signals.

1. SYNC Non Reset Mode

This is a system to output the camera timing regardless of
the trigger input signal. When the camera is in the
GENLOCK mode, timing is output synchronized with the
input signal of the GENLOCK IN.

2. SYNC Reset Mode

This is a system to output the timing by synchronizing with
the trigger input signal.
In this case, the trigger signal is the standard signal of a
structured system, so that the GENLOCK function will not
be carried out.
