4. Precautions When Using Pattern Box
1) It takes about 30 minutes for pattern box to stabilize its brightness.
Turn on the pattern box 30 minutes before the adjustment starts.
2) Make arrangement so that the outside light does not enter the chart surface in the pattern box.
Also, place a board between chart and camera, and make a hole at the lens part of the board so that the camera is not reflected in the
shot image screen.
(Adjustment may not be performed correctly due to the influence of outside light.)
Example 1: Place a box to block a section between pattern box and camera.
Make the hole of the same
size as the pattern box.
L = About 7 cm

3) Control of color chart
The color chart will fade if it is exposed to direct sunlight or strong light.
Since the fading of color chart progresses even with the light in the pattern box, remove and store the color chart when it is not used.
Remove the color chart and store it.
Store the color chart in a place not exposed to direct light, avoiding high temperature and humidity.
Use the color chart for about three years, and afterward replace it with a new chart.

1-2. ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM
The DSC-H50 is adjusted by the Automatic Adjustment Program.
The Automatic Adjustment Program enters automatically via the
SeusEX the adjustment operations that were formerly entered
manually by the adjustment remote commander (some items may
be adjusted by manual operation on the operation screen of the
SeusEX).
1. Precautions When Using Automatic Adjustment
Program
1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re-
sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communication with the camera via the SeusEX. Accordingly, the Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment
where the SeusEX operates.
2) The Automatic Adjustment Program cannot be used when the
SEUS or the SeusCam is running. Exit the SEUS or the
SeusCam before using the Automatic Adjustment Program.
3) The SeusEX must be already started on the PC when using the
Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SeusEX not started,
some adjustment items will take time in adjustment.
4) The program run time may vary depending on the environ-
ment of the personal computer used.

1-4. USB SERIAL No. INPUT
The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it.
This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement.
If original ID can be read from the board before replacement, read
it from the board before replacement using the “SERIAL READ/
WRITE” screen, and then write it after replacement.
If original ID cannot be read from the board before replacement,
write the ID for service using the “MANUAL WRITE” screen.
(The ID for service is different from the ID written when the set is
shipped.) Enter the PRODUCT ID (last 5 characters of model
name) and SERIAL No. into the screen and write them.
