Introduction

Installing the studio card in a convertible camera (such as the AW-E350, AW-E650, AW-E655, AW-E750 and AW-E860) and mounting the camera on the interface bracket makes it possible for a viewfinder and/or inter-communications headset to be used and thus enable the camera to be used as a studio camera.

Characteristics

 An inter-communications headset can be

used and its volume adjusted.



The STANDBY/ON switch function of the viewfinder (WV-VF65B, AW-VF80) is incorporated.

 Output signals (brightness and

composite video signals) to the viewfinder can be switched using the menu settings.

Notes

 The AW-PB305A cannot be installed

to the following models; AW-RP605, AW-PB605

 When the studio card unit is to be

discarded at the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly in order to protect the environment.

 Zebra pattern and safety zone displays

appearing in the viewfinder can be switched using the menu settings.



The VIDEO ON/OFF switch function of the viewfinder (AW-VF64) is incorporated. ( In order to prevent CRT burn-in, the

AW-VF64 does not come with a standby function.)

ENGLISH
