FEATURES
Electronic iris function
The electronic iris function regulates the
electronic shutter speed. To the contrary of
electronic shutters with a fixed speed, the
electronic iris modifies the shutter speed
according to the CCD input. The electronic
iris will automatically control the amount of
light entering the camera, so manual iris
lenses can be used on the camera.
Backlight compensation function
The backlight compensation function will
divide the screen in two areas (A) and (B),
as illustrated below. Then, the iris is
automatically set so the outside zone (B)
brightness is given less weight than the
brightness from the centre zone (A), giving
the best possible image.

Terminology explanation
About the DC type lenses
These lenses use a DC power supply
without amplifier circuits. They are also
referred to as non internal amplifier type
lens or coil type lens.
About the VIDEO type lenses
These lenses use both a video signal
amplified by internal amplifier circuits and a
DC power supply. They are referred to as
internal amplifier type lens.

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.

Camera installation
A: Lens mount cap
Remove the lens mount cap before
installing the lens (sold separately).
• Use with this camera a CS mount type
auto-iris lens (for 1/3 inch).
Auto-iris lenses regulate the amount of
light entering the camera according to
the brightness of the subject.
• C mount auto-iris lenses can also be used
with the supplied adaptor (see page 7).
B: Installation bracket
The bracket can be fitted at the top or
bottom of the camera. To fix the
bracket, make sure to use the screws
that held the bracket before, and use
the other two screws to seal the
openings on the opposite side.
1 Opening sealing screws (M3x4)
(shorter)
2 Bracket fixing screws (M3x6) (longer)
3 Threaded hole for the support
(1/4"–20 UNC)
• Mounting at the top (R1)
• Mounting at the bottom (R2)
CAUTION:
When installing the camera support, select
a location that can support the total weight
of the camera and accessories.

When using a camera switcher to connect
2 cameras or more to one monitor, there
may be a vertical roll of the images when
switched. In such a case, set as described
below.
1 Set the SYNC switch to the L-L position.
2 Switch the display on the monitor from
camera 1 to camera 2.
Adjust the LINE PHASE volume on
camera 2 until the vertical roll of the
image stops.
If more than two cameras are used,
please repeat this procedure for all the
cameras.
CAUTION:
If the vertical roll cannot be corrected by
setting the LINE PHASE volume on camera
2, try setting the LINE PHASE volume on
camera 1. If it still cannot be corrected,
please check that the polarity of the power
cords of all connected devices is correct.
The vertical roll can also be adjusted using
an oscilloscope.
1 Set the SYNC switch to the L-L position.
2 Connect the video signal, for camera 1
and camera 2, output from the camera
switcher, to the oscilloscope.
3 Using the LINE PHASE volume on both
cameras, adjust to eliminate the phase
difference (L3) between the signal from
camera 1 (L1) and the one from

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

• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before taking the camera for repairs, please check below to make sure that the camera is
used correctly. If it still does not perform correctly, please consult your dealer or a Sanyo
Authorized Service Centre.
No picture on the monitor screen
• Is the power turned on to all connected devices? Is the voltage correct?
• Are all the signal connecting cables correctly connected?
• Is the lighting sufficient?
• Has the lens cap been removed?
• Is the lens type (DC or VIDEO) correctly selected?
Depending on the type of lens, the A. I. LENS switch must be set accordingly.
• Is the iris control correctly set?
A: When using a DC type lens, the LEVEL volume (inside the camera casing) should be
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?
• Are the lens surfaces clean?
If there is dust or finger prints on the lens, the image quality will deteriorate. To clean the
lens use a soft cloth or a commercially available lens cleaning set.
SERVICE
This camera is a precision instruments and if treated with care, will provide years of
satisfactory performance. However, in the event of a problem, the owner is advised not to
attempt to make repairs or open the cabinet. Servicing should always be referred to your
dealer or Sanyo Authorized Service Centre.
