1/3-inch MOS sensor and high-performance 18 zoom
lens featured
A newly developed 1/3‑inch full HD MOS sensor and
DSP (digital signal processor) are incorporated.
High‑quality pictures are obtained by video processing in
many different kinds of ways.
In addition to its optical 18 zoom lens, the unit comes
with a 10 digital zoom to achieve high‑quality images
that overflow with ambiance.
A dynamic range stretch (DRS) function that
compensates for overexposure and loss of dark detail
and a new hybrid digital noise reduction (Hybrid DNR)
function for minimizing image lag even in dark locations
and shooting scenes clearly are incorporated to
reproduce clean and clear images in a wide range of
applications.
Easy operation of unit enabled by its integration with a
high-performance pan-tilt head unit
Operations at the high speed of 90°/s
Wide rotational angles with a panning range of ±175° and
a tilting range from –30° to +90°
Quiet operation with noise levels of NC35 (normal speed)
and NC40 (when preset)
Storage of up to 100 positions in the preset memory
(The number of preset memory settings differs depending
on the controller that is used with the unit.)
High degree of compatibility with Panasonic’s currently
available controllers, enabling a flexible system to be
put together
A maximum of five units can be operated by serial control
from one of Panasonic’s currently available controllers
(AW‑RP655, AW‑RP555 and AW‑RP50).
(It may be necessary to upgrade the version of the
controller in order to support the unit. The maximum
distances between the units and controller is 1000 meters
(3280 ft.). Use of an external device or some other means
must be provided separately in order to extend the video
signal connections.)
The unit can also be used together with the cameras
and pan‑tilt head unit systems currently available from
Panasonic System Networks Co., Ltd. so that an existing
system can be used to advantage to put together a
system that is even more flexible.
Integrated pan-tilt head unit, camera and lens to
facilitate installation
By designing the camera, lens and pan‑tilt head as a
single integrated unit, the time taken for the installation
work has been drastically reduced.
Use of easy-to-operate wireless remote control (optional
accessory) is possible
A wireless remote control capable of operating up to four
units can be used.
It can easily be used to set the various functions or switch
between them while viewing the menu screens.
Flexible camera layout enabled by simple connection
and installation
This unit features excellent connectivity and installability
thanks to the IP control; a lightweight main unit, and the
turn‑lock mechanism, which enables the user to install it
on his or her own (only when used indoors).
Energy-savings achieved by the compact main unit
design
By slimming down the unit’s weight and dimensions,
a low power consumption is yielded, and even the
connection of a multiple number of units poses no
concerns.
Easy connections and settings courtesy of IP control
Up to a hundred units can be operated by IP connection
from a Panasonic controller (AW‑RP50).
(The maximum length of the LAN cables is 100 meters
[328 ft.].)
By automatically recognizing the IP addresses and
changing their allocation, the previous restrictions on
the connections between the cameras and controllers
using serial interfaces and the time and trouble taken
to establish the various settings can be significantly
reduced, and by configuring a network, flexible camera
control can be implemented anywhere with any of the
cameras.

the unit.
Use the dedicated AC adapter and power cable provided
with the unit.
Connect the AC adapter and power cable to the power inlet
securely.
Installing the AC adapter
Do not place the adapter directly onto a ceiling panel or
other such surface.
Extreme danger is posed when water has collected on
the surface as a result of leaking rain, for instance.
Secure the adapter firmly to the bottom or other surface
of a reinforcing member made of channel steel where
dust and other foreign matter will not accumulate.
(Refer to page 24.)
Secure the adapter firmly so that there will be no chance
that it will fall off or fall down.
Secure it using a strength which can withstand the mass
(approx. 320 g [0.71 lbs.]) of the AC adapter.
Install the accessory AC adapter near the main power
outlet, and position it in such a way that its power plug
can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet easily.
When connecting the AC adapter to a power outlet on the
ceiling or on any other surface where dust may collect, wipe
off the dust on the power plug at periodic intervals as an
anti‑tracking measure.
Connecting the power cable
Be absolutely sure to connect the power cable of the
AC adapter through a circuit breaker using one of the
following methods.
(1) Connect the power cable through a power control unit.
(2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker in a
power distribution panel with a contact distance of
3.0 mm or more.
Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting
off all the poles of the main power supply with the
exception of the protective ground conductor.
(3) Install the AC adapter near the power outlet, and
connect it through the power plug.
Grounding
Before using the unit, check that the grounding wire has
been fastened securely.
Check the grounding resistance (less than 100 ) of the
grounding terminal.
When the power plug is to be converted into a 2‑pin plug
for use, first consult with your dealer. Then use a plug
adapter which is equipped with a grounding terminal, and be
absolutely sure to connect this terminal to ground.
In a case like this, be absolutely sure to make the
connection to ground before proceeding to connect the
power plug to the main power source.
Similarly, before the ground connection is
to be disconnected, be absolutely sure to
disconnect the power plug from the main
power source first.
If there is a possibility of noise interference
Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light
cord) of AC 100 V or more, and the signal cable are placed
at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.) apart. Alternatively run each cable
through its own metal conduit. (The metal conduits must be
grounded.)
Radio signal interference
If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio transmitting
antenna or a strong electrical field or magnetic field (such as
that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its
images may be distorted and/or the images may be affected
by noise.
When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector
areas will not be subject to any load.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
Allowing the generated heat to escape
This unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its
surfaces.
Do not install the unit in a location where it will be
surrounded by walls or other surfaces and where heat will
be trapped.
Power switch
This unit does not have a power switch. The power turns
on when its power plug is connected to a power outlet.
When the power is turned on, the pan, tilt, zoom and
focusing operations are performed. Before proceeding with
maintenance, be absolutely sure to disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet.
IMPORTANT
The product name and its electrical ratings are
marked on its bottom panel.

Operating precautions
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye‑pleasing colors, shoot under
the proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when
shooting under fluorescent lights.
Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts
to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C [95 °F])
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any
air directly toward the installation location.
Image persistence on the MOS sensor color filters
If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to
spotlights or other bright lights, the color filters inside the
MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may
become discolored. The discoloration may be noticeable
when the direction of fixed monitoring is changed.
Do not point the camera at strong
lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.
Blooming
Concerning the color reproduction of MOS sensors
Depending on the color tones of the subjects, the color
reproduction may deteriorate: This is normal and not
indicative of any trouble.
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed
at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take
some other remedial action.
When using the automatic functions
If “FullAuto” has been selected as the setting for Scene
on the camera menu, for example, all the auto settings
will be turned on, and manual operations will no longer be
possible for some of the items.
When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment)
function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may
vary.
In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto
setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and
focus manually.
The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when
shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the
gain and iris. In cases like this, set the shutter speed to
manual, and adjust.
Bright subject
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set manually, out‑of‑focusing may occur
during zooming.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the
focus to auto.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with
zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end
where the focusing accuracy is higher.
(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less
than 1.5 meters [4.92 ft.], the subject may shift out of focus
at the Wide end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted
the focus at the Wide end, out‑of‑focusing may occur.
Concerning the zoom position when the power is turned
on
When the unit’s power is turned on, the zoom, focus and iris
return to the positions they occupied immediately before the
power was turned off. (This happens for the focus and iris
when they were set manually.)
However, this position may not be restored if, for instance,
the power cable was disconnected during operation.
The unit comes with the safe mode.
The safe mode is function designed to protect the unit from
damage.
For further details, refer to “Safe mode” (page 83 in the
<Operations and Settings>).
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature
drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the
temperature rises above +40 °C (104 °F) since these
temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely
affect the internal parts.
Concerning the VIDEO OUT signal
The VIDEO OUT signal of the MULTI‑I/F connector is
provided in case the images are to be monitored.
Color bars
Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the
widths and positions of these bars may differ from other
models.
The setting for the Down CONV. Mode item when color
bars are displayed is fixed at “Squeeze”.
If “SideCut” or “LetterBox” has been selected, the HDMI
output will not appear for a few seconds when the color
bar display is set to ON or OFF.

Operating precautions
Turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting
the cables.
Always be sure to turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the cables.
Handle the unit carefully.
Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact or
vibration. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.
When the unit is not in use
Turn off the unit’s power when it is not in use.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it
lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
Do not touch the optical system parts.
The optical system parts are the very heart of the camera.
Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove
the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them gently
with a lens cleaning paper.
Personal computer used
If the same image is displayed for a prolonged period on a
PC monitor, the monitor may be damaged. Use of a screen
saver is recommended.
Maintenance
Turn off the unit’s power before proceeding with
maintenance.
Otherwise, you may injure yourself.
Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact
with benzene, paint thinners and other volatile substances,
and avoid using these substances. Otherwise, the casing
may become discolored.
Do not turn the camera head by hand.
Turning the camera head by hand may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture
and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high
concentration of moisture or dust since these conditions will
damage the internal parts.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is
to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of
the unit properly in order to protect the environment.
Do not allow foreign matter to make contact with the
rotating parts.
Otherwise, trouble may be caused.
Self-diagnosis function
When an abnormal operation caused by the effects of
extraneous noise or other factors continues for more
than 30 seconds during use, the unit’s reset operation
will automatically be triggered, after which the unit will
restart. After it has started up again, the same initialization
operation as when the power is turned on will be performed.
If abnormal operations occur frequently, it may be because
high levels of extraneous noise are being generated in the
environment where the camera has been installed.
These events will cause problems in the camera so consult
with your dealer as soon as possible.
Keep the unit away from water.
Avoid all direct contact with water. Otherwise, problems may
occur.

Depending on the HDMI monitor you are using, you may
experience one or more of the symptoms described below. These
symptoms are especially noticeable when any of the SD formats
is used: This is normal and not indicative of any trouble.
• The resolution of the characters in the menu displays changes as the
background image changes.
• Depending on the edge enhancement setting established for the
monitor, white lines appear in front of the black shadows of the
menus.
• Depending on the edge enhancement setting established for the

Is the focus set to manual?
Auto focusing is initiated as soon as the focus is set to auto.
In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto setting.
In cases like this, select the manual setting, and focus manually.
Was the focus adjusted at the Tele end?
First adjust the focus at the Tele end where the focusing accuracy is
higher, and then proceed with the zooming.
Under some operating conditions, it may be hard to bring
subjects into focus.
In such cases, use the focus at the auto setting.

Symptom Cause and remedial action
Ring-shaped
reflections appear
in the four corners of
the images
Something is wrong
with the coloring of
the pictures
The pictures are too
light or too dark
The subjects appear
distorted
These are caused by the reflections of the light between the lens
and the cover in front of the lens. Find a way of optimizing the
position of the lighting relative to the position of the unit, and
install and use the unit in a location where the reflections will not
occur.
Activate the ATW (Auto tracking white adjustment) function.
In some situations, the proper colors may not be reproduced
using the ATW function.
In cases like this, proceed with the white balance adjustment.
Either select the auto setting for the iris or select the manual
setting and adjust the iris manually.
The pictures may be dark if the video signal cables are too long
because this will cause signal attenuation.
If a subject has suddenly crossed in front of the camera, it may
appear slightly distorted because this camera uses a MOS image
sensor.
This is normal and not indicative of any problem.

When the flash is fired
during shooting, only
the top or bottom of
the screen becomes
lighter
The brightness
changes cyclically or
the colors change,
and horizontal stripes
can be seen passing
across the screen
When fine lines or
cyclical patterns are
shot, flickering is seen
or coloring is added to
them
With a MOS image sensor, the shooting timing differs slightly
between the top left and bottom right of the screen. This means
that when the flash is fired, the bottom of the screen will become
lighter in the field concerned and the top will become lighter in
the next field.
This is normal and not indicative of any problem.
These phenomena (flicker) may occur under the illumination
produced by fluorescent lighting, mercury bulbs or other types of
discharge tubes.
This is normal and not indicative of any problem.
At a time like this, it is recommended that the electronic shutter
speed be set to 1/100 in areas with a 50 Hz power line frequency
or to OFF in areas with a 60 Hz power line frequency.
This phenomenon occurs because the pixels are arranged
systematically on each image sensor. It is noticeable when the
spatial frequency of a subject and the pixel pitch are brought into
proximity so change the camera angle or take other such action.

Manual shooting
Manually adjusting the shutter speed
The shutter speed can be set using two methods. One is
a method that specifies the time (where a time such as
1/250 sec. is designated), and the other is a method that
specifies the frequency (where synchro scan, 60.24 Hz, etc.
is designated).
When shooting a TV screen or PC monitor screen, the
horizontal noise generated when the screen is shot can
be minimized by adjusting the frequency to the screen
frequency using synchro scan.
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
Perform the adjustments on the Camera menu.
For further details, refer to the [Shutter Mode] and
[Step/Synchro] items on page 40.

Preset memories
This unit enables up to 100 settings for the camera direction
(panning and tilting), zoom, focus, iris, gain and white
balance to be registered in its preset memories, and called.
However, the number of settings that can be registered and
called depends on the type of wireless remote control or
controller that is used for operation.
The operating mode (manual or auto setting) is not
registered for the focus and iris settings.
The current focus and iris values are registered.
The focus and iris values can be recalled only when the
manual settings are applicable.
AWB A, AWB B or ATW is registered as the white
balance setting. The values selected when AWB was
established are recalled as the adjustment values of
AWB A or AWB B.
The AWB Mode (ATW, AWB A or AWB B) stored using
the AW‑RP655 are recalled only when the AW‑RP655 is
connected.
Notes
When there is a large difference in the environmental
temperature between the time of registration and the
time the setting is called, displacement of the preset
position may occur.
If displacement occurs, perform registration again.
While preset settings are being called, it is not
possible to perform manual operations such as
panning, tilting, zooming or iris adjustments.

White balance adjustment
White balance adjustment
In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio
between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the
white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the
white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire
screen will also be degraded.
This adjustment must be performed when using the
unit for the first time or when the unit has not been
used for a prolonged period.
It must be performed when the lighting conditions or
brightness has changed.
Automatic adjustment
(AWB: AWB A or AWB B)
1 Shoot a white subject (such as a white wall or
handkerchief) so that it fills the screen.
Do not shoot shiny or very bright objects.
Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which
initiates automatic adjustment when the AWB button on the
controller has been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking
white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the
white balance can be selected for adjustment purposes.
The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two
memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been
selected for the white balance.
Once the white balance has been adjusted when the
unit is used with the same settings and under the same
conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a
menu setting or pressing a button on the controller.
There is no need to set it again.
Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be
erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to
different shooting conditions.
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
Steps
2 through 8 represent the procedure for selecting
the “AWB A” or “AWB B” memory. They need not be taken
if a selection has already been made.
2 Select Manual1, Manual2 or Manual3 as the
shooting mode by following the procedure in
“Selecting the shooting modes (scene files)

such as “OUT RANGE NG”, “HIGH LIGHT NG”,
“LOW LIGHT NG” or “ATW NG” is displayed.
23
Page 70
White balance adjustment
When the AW‑RP50 is connected:
Refer to the Operating Instructions of the controller.
Notes
White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting
of the object is too weak.
Since the unit has a built‑in memory, the set white
balance will remain in the memory even if power is
turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the
white balance if the color temperature of those objects
remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if the
color temperature changes, such as when you move
from indoors to outside, or vice versa.
Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the
white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all
the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the
light source or color temperature has changed to produce
completely natural pictures.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of
“AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic
adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 22).
Notes
ATW might not function properly when high brightness
light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.
White balance may not be accurately set if there is no
white object in the scene being shot.
The white balance may shift out of adjustment when
a different kind of light source such as sunlight or
fluorescent lighting applies.
