PREFACE
The Panasonic AW-E560 is a digital signal processing
color video camera that incorporates three 1/2” CCDs. A
digital video signal processing system is packed in a compact, lightweight body while assuring high picture quality,
high reliability and high performance.
System setup and adjustments can be easily performed by
setup menu.
Connection to peripheral devices, such as an RCU and an
RCB, enables a wide variation of system configurations.
The lens and the camera pan/tilt unit can be remote controlled when the camera is connected to an RCU with
optional multiplex adaptor WV-PS550.
Connection to an RCU for camera control and power supply can be simply done with a coaxial cable through an
optional adaptor.
FEATURES
1. Digital video signal processing for high quality, high
reliability, high performance, lightweight and compact
size.
2. Resolution: 800 lines (HIGH BAND DTL : ON), S/N
ratio: 62dB
3. Minimum illumination: 5 lux (F1.4, +18dB)
4. SET UP menu for system check and readjustments.
5. Built-in automatic controls, including ATW, ELC, and
AGC
6. CCD readout is switchable between field and frame
modes. Vertical resolution can be stepped up in
frame mode and it is effective for shooting still objects.
7. Any of R/G/B, Y/C, Y/PB/PR and composite can be
selected as an output signal.
8. Thanks to the built-in synchronized scanning system,
noiseless pictures are available from computer graphics.
9. Various correction circuits permit video reproduction
with highest fidelity.
10. Chroma aperture correction enables clear shots of
dark color objects.
11. 2 Dimensional lowpass filter reduces spurious signals.
12. A dark detail circuit provides natural edge correction
to any object in a dark scene.
-3-
13. A digital highlight compression circuit reproduces natural dynamic ranges.
14. A digital color matrix enables high fidelity color
images.
15. The optimum operation mode for each of your specific
applications can be selected.
16. The scene file automatically sets up the most appropriate shooting conditions.
17. System setup parameters, such as SMPTE/full color
bar, date and time are indicated on the monitor
screen.
18. Remote control with an RCU or RCB.
SPECIAL NOTES ON OPERATION
• Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting
cables.
• Connection or disconnection of any studio cable, RCB
cable or other cable to any unit of equipment must be
performed while power is off.
• While the camera is automatic mode;
Shooting of bright objects in ELC operation mode may
result in a smeared picture unique to the CCD.
The ATW function under fluorescent illumination can
adversely change the white balance.

PRECAUTIONS
DONT'S
• Do not attempt to disassemble the camera, Remote
Control Unit (RCU) or other units. In order to prevent
electric shock, do not remove screws or covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,
etc. The camera contains sensitive components
which could be damaged by improper handling or
storage.
• Do not let the lens remain uncapped when the camera
is not in use. If the lens is not installed, do not leave
the lens mount hole uncovered.
• Do not touch the surface of the lens or prism with your
fingers.
• Do not use strong of abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body.
DO'S
• Do refer any servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Do handle the camera with care.
• Do protect the precision made lens by placing the
lens cap over the lens when the camera is not in use.
If the lens is not installed, protect the surface of the
prism by placing the body cap into the lens mount
hole.
• Do use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue designed
for coated lenses, to clean the surface of the lens or
prism in the event that it should become dirty.
• Do use a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is dirty. In
case the dirt is hard to remove, use mild detergent
and wipe gently.
-5-
• Do not aim the camera toward the sun, no matter
whether it is turned on or not.
• Do not expose the camera or Remote Control Unit
(RCU) to rain or moisture, and do not try to operate the
equipment in wet areas. Do not operate the camera or
RCU if it becomes wet.
• Do not operate the camera or Remote Control Unit
(RCU) outdoors during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the camera in an extreme environment
where high temperatures or high humidity exist.
• Do not leave the camera and Remote Control Unit
(RCU) turned on when not in use. Do not unnecessarily turn the camera power on and off repeatedly. Do
not block the ventilation slots.
• Do use caution when operating the camera in the
vicinity of spot lights or other bright lights, as well as
light reflecting objects and surfaces.
• Do take immediate action if ever the camera or RCU
should become wet. Turn the power off and have the
unit checked by an authorized service facility.
• Do follow normal safety precautions to avoid personal
injury.
• Use the camera in an environment where the temperature is within 14°F - 113°F (−10°C - +45°C), and the
relative humidity is within 30% - 90%.
• Always turn the power off when the camera is not
going to be used. Operate the camera and Remote
Control Unit (RCU) only when there is adequate ventilation.

selection switch should be set to M.)
2. Loosen the flange back lock knob.
3. Aim the camera at any object over 2 meters away from
the camera.
4. Set the lens to its TELE end first and adjust its focus
with the focus ring.
5. Set the lens to its widest angle next and adjust its
focus with the flange back adjust ring.
6. Adjust the focus ring and the flange back adjust ring
alternately for the best focus within the zooming
range.
Tighten the flange back lock knob upon completion of
focusing.
7. Turn the iris selection switch to Position A.
