PRECAUTIONS

In case of problem

Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odour comes from the unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not open or modify

Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not put objects inside the unit

Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.

If water or a liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to protect the camera from rain, sea water, etc.

Be careful when handling the unit

To prevent damages, do not drop the camera or subject it to strong shock or vibration.

Install away from electric or magnetic fields

If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor, transformer, audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will distort the image.

Protect from humidity and dust

To prevent damages to the camera, do not install it where there is greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get too high, or where there is a lot of dust.

Protect from high temperatures

Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices, such as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damages.

Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.

Install where the temperature range will stay between –10˚C and 50˚C. (no condensation)

Cleaning

• Dirt can be removed from the cabinet

by wiping it with a soft cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a soft detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry with dry soft cloth.

• Do not use benzine, thinner or other

chemical product on the cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint peeling. Before using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all accompanying instructions. Make sure that no plastic or rubber material comes in contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as that may cause damage or paint peeling.

Electronic iris function setting

Use a manual or fixed iris lens and set the lens aperture to the shortest F stop. Set the EI/BLC switch to EI-ON position.

Note:

Please refer to the specifications for dynamic range of the electronic iris.

CAUTION:

• The electronic iris is suitable for normal indoor use. When the EI/BLC switch is set to the

EI-ON position, do not use an auto-iris lens.

• If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker. In such a case, change to

incandescent lighting or set the EI/BLC switch to the OFF position and use an auto-iris lens.

• When shooting bright subjects, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or

minimize the smear phenomenon effect.

When using an auto-iris lens (for indoor/outdoor use)

Set the EI/BLC switch to the OFF position.

CAUTION:

If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or more than the maximum illumination, it will cause saturation of the CCD. In that case, use a manual iris lens.

Lens iris adjustment

If using a DC type auto-iris lens, you will need to set the LEVEL (VR401) volume when shooting in the conditions described below.

L (counterclockwise): To decrease the contrast H (clockwise): To increase the contrast

• If the backlight compensation function does not compensate properly for the conditions,

set using the LEVEL volume on the lens.

CAUTION:

The electronic iris function and the backlight compensation function cannot operate simultaneously.

High speed electronic shutter setting

Normally, the speed setting switches for the high speed electronic shutter are all set to the OFF position. This sets the electronic shutter speed to 1/60 sec. The switches can be set as indicated in table A to select one of the 8 speeds available.

CAUTION:

• When using the high speed electronic shutter, the EI/BLC

switch must be set to the OFF position.

• Using the high speed electronic shutter indoors with low

lighting, will give darker pictures. In such a case, add some lights to make sure the lighting is sufficient. If the lighting is very bright, pay attention to the light angle in order to avoid or minimize the smear phenomenon effect.

adjusted.

B: When using a VIDEO type lens, the LEVEL volume (on the lens) should be adjusted.

The picture is not clear

• Is the monitor correctly adjusted?

• Is the flange-back position correctly set?

• Is the lens focus correctly adjusted?
