2. Preparations (continued)
Connecting the AC adapter
It is possible to supply power to the KY-F75 from the computer via the IEEE1394 cable, but when a motorized lens, etc., is used, the DC cable should be used to connect the KY-F75s [DC IN] connector and the [TO CAMERA] connector on the AC adapter (AA-P700).
CAUTION
Be sure to use the AA-P700 AC adapter. Make sure that the power switch on the AA-P700 AC adapter is set to OFF before connections are made. Making connections while the power is ON could result in damage to the KY-F75.
Connecting the DC power cable and attaching the filter clamp
After inserting the plug completely, tighten the se-
curing ring
To reduce the emission of unwanted radio waves, make sure to attach the provided clamp filter as shown in the figure on the left. Wind the cable once around the clamp filter.
Attach the clamp filter as close as possible to the KY-F75 as shown in the figure.

White spot compensation
One of the inherent, general characteristics of CCDs is that white spots may appear in the image at slow shutter speeds or during shooting at high temperatures. To moderate this phenomenon, this camera is provided with a white spot compensation func­tion.
How to use
White spot detection
Because the number of spots and their size differ with the temperature and shutter speed, etc., it is necessary to detect the positions of the white spots under the conditions of use before the white spot compensation is used.
1.
Set the conditions for use (shutter speed, etc.).
2.
Ensure that no light falls on the CCD by closing the lens iris, etc. (When a motorized lens is used, the iris will be closed automatically.)
3.
Display the [KY-LINK] application softwares Process setting screen.
4.
Set the Pixel comp. item to ON.
5.
When the Pixel check button is clicked, detection of white spot positions starts. The detec­tion may take several minutes.
6.
When the detection is completed, the [Process completed] message appears.
MEMO
The cameras white spot compensation function cannot compensate completely for all white spots. White spot detection and compensation by this camera can be performed under the following condi­tions. White spot compensation is not possible under other conditions. Even when these conditions are met, the properties of the white spots may prevent compensation.
Detection and compensation area: Area of 1024 × 1024 pixels at the center of the screen. No. of detections and compensations: Within a total of 15 spots.
The [PIXEL CHECK FAILED] message may appear if light enters the CCD while white spot detection is being performed, or due to the conditions of the white spots. In this case, confirm that light is not falling on the CCD. If light is not falling on the CCD but the message nevertheless appears, increase the shutter speed one step and perform the detection again.
During white spot detection, the image in the live window will become a still picture, but this is normal.
When white spot compensation is carried out, the compensation of the pixel data is performed based
on surrounding pixel data, which means that accurate data may not be obtained in case of an image with fine details.
The result of the white spot detection is retained until the next white spot detection is performed.

Synchronizing flash and trigger
To synchronize the flash with the input of an external trigger, use the [REMOTE] connector on the rear. Pin configurations of connectors ( page E9).
When the shutter mode is other than “RANDOM” “EEI” ( page E28, Shutter item)
In response to the trigger input, the KY-F75 outputs a flash signal for the CCD accumulation
period of the next frame.
The image shot at the moment that the FLASH signal is outputted is output as the next frame.
In the case of video output, output stops with shooting of this frame and the image on the PC’s
monitor will be in the FREEZE condition.
How to cancel the FREEZE condition can be selected. ( page E42, [Freeze cancel] item)
The trigger interval must be minimum 3 frames (405 msec) at a shutter speed of 1/7.5 s or
faster.
When the FREEZE cancel mode is set to “MANUAL”, FLASH will not be output in response to the trigger input for FREEZE cancellation.

When the shutter mode is RANDOM
CCD accumulation is performed in sync with the trigger input, and this period is output as the FLASH signal.
At the same shutter speeds the delay from the trigger input to the FLASH output is almost uniform as shown in Table A below. Also, the pulse width of the FLASH output differs with the shutter speed.
The trigger input interval is restricted as shown in Table B. Do not input at a shorter interval than the minimum interval shown in the table.
* In the following situations, the FLASH signal is continuously generated in sync with the CCD
regardless of the trigger.
When [Shutter] on the EXPOSURE screen is set to EEI”.
When [Gain] on the EXPOSURE screen is set to ALC”.
When [Iris mode] on the EXPOSURE screen is set to AUTO”.
While AW (Auto White) is operating.
MEMO
In the condition where the shutter mode is RANDOM, the image quality may deteriorate at the time of
FREEZE as noise may be applied or white spots may appear.

About ALC and EEI operations
ALC stands for Automatic Level Control and EEI for Extended Electronic Iris. (page E28) By making the respective settings, the Automatic Level Control (ALC) will operate under dark lighting, and the electronic shutter (EEI) will operate under bright lighting. Furthermore, setting the IRIS mode to AUTO will synchronize sensitivity, iris and electronic shutter so that an appro­priate signal level can be acquired automatically at all times. The ALC mode increases sensitivity from 0dB to +12dB under dark lighting and the EEI modeautomatically adjusts the range of 1/7.5 s to 1/2384.7 s (calculated value) under bright lighting. In other words, the signal level is adjusted in the range of 2 graduations of the aperture under dark lighting and 8 graduations under bright lighting. When the IRIS mode is set to manual, the sensitivity and electronic shutter change continuously while the iris setting stays fixed. ( page E27 Iris mode) This feature holds the advantage of being able to shoot under changing light conditions without the depth of field altering.
MEMO
When EEI is used, the amount of change in one step of the signal level will be large and the precision
becomes bad as the shutter speed is faster.
