manual abstract
3 Turn the multi dial to select the shutter speed. Slow shutter speeds: 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30 Regular shutter speeds: 1/60, 1/100-1/4000, 1/8000 Synchro scan shutter speeds: 1/60.3-1/250 11/120 SHUTTER/IRIS VOL/JOG PUSH SHUTTER/IRIS PUSH 1NORM VOL/JOG Shutter speed, iris and gain adjustments (cont.) 5 When the multi dial is pressed, the number representing the normal shutter speed appears on the screen. 11/60 SHUTTER/IRIS VOL/JOG PUSH O With artificial lighting and especially fluorescent lights and mercury-vapor lamps, the luminance changes in synchronization with the power line frequency. In areas where this frequency is 50 Hz, mutual interference will occur between the camera-recorder’s vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) and the lighting frequency (50 Hz). This means that the white balance may change periodically. Before shooting in areas with a 50 Hz frequency or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed to 1/100. O The higher the shutter speed, the lower the camera’s sensitivity. O If the shutter speed is increased when the auto iris is set (when the F-number is not displayed), the iris will open (the F-number is reduced) so that the background is more blurred and the subject stands out. O Shooting at a slow shutter speed may give rise to such problems as after-image, a deterioration in the image quality and difficulties in focusing. O When a slow shutter speed has been selected, images are shot with the CCD taking more time than usual to accumulate the signals. As a result, very small brilliant points that are not usually visible may be recorded as the images: this is normal and does not indicate an error or malfunctioning. Synchro scan shutter speeds A synchro scan shutter speed is a shutter speed used to shoot TV screens or PC monitor screens. The synchro scan shutter speed is set using the SYNCHRO SCAN item on the CAMERA SETUP screen when the synchro scan shutter speed has been selected by the multi dial. (P73) OIf you adjust the shutter speed to match the frequency of the TV screen or PC monitor screen, you can shoot the screen while minimizing the horizontal noise that is generated when TV screens are shot. Iris and gain adjustments 4 When you press the multi dial, the iris and gain values are displayed on the screen. 1/120 1F5.6 0dB SHUTTER/IRIS VOL/JOG PUSH 5 Turn the multi dial to select the F-number. 1/120 1F2.8 0dB Iris (F-number): CLOSE, F16-F1.7, OPEN SHUTTER/IRIS PUSH VOL/JOG 6 When OPEN is selected as the F-number, 1 moves to the gain value. 7 Turn the multi dial to select the gain value. SHUTTER/IRISPUSH 1/120 OPEN 13dB VOL/JOG Gain value: 0 dB, 3 dB-15 dB, 18 dB O When “IRIS” has been selected as the FOCUS RING item setting on the SW MODE screen using the menus (P68-P71), you can use the focus ring to adjust the iris and gain but only when you are shooting in the auto focus mode. (P76) White balance adjustments Auto white balance When you shoot with the AUTO/MANUAL selector switch at the AUTO position, the white balance is adjusted automatically while scenes are being recorded. As the white balance sensor is used to detect the light source during shooting so the camera- recorder can adjust the white balance, do not cover the sensor with your hand or anything else. White balance sensor 2 Press the WHITE BAL button to select the desired white balance setting mode. 1 MANUAL AUTO SHOOTING If you press the USER button to which the AWB LOCK function has been allocated (P75) when you are shooting in the auto white balance mode, the white balance at the time the button was pressed is used until the button is pressed again. Each time the button is pressed, the camera- recorder switches between auto white balance and AWB lock. Setting the white balance Select the white balance setting mode if the white balance needs to be adjusted very precisely. O Before shooting in areas with a 50 Hz power line frequency or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed to 1/100. 1 Set the AUTO/MANUAL selector switch to MANUAL. O No adjustments can be performed with this switch at AUTO. Setting mode W. LOCK: Lock mode The current white balance is retained. : Indoor (incandescent bulb) mode Incandescent bulbs, halogen lamps : Outdoor mode Outdoors under clear skies : Set mode O Mercury-vapor lamps, sodium-vapor lamps, some fluorescent lamps O Lights used for wedding receptions in hotels, theater spotlights O Sunset, sunrise, etc. No display: Auto mode The white balance setting mode cannot be selected while digital zooming is performed with “k160” selected as the D. ZOOM item (P76) setting on the SW MODE screen. White balance adjustments (cont.) Adjusting the white balance manually In the set mode ( ), you can save the white balance, which has been adjusted manually, in the memory. 1 Place a white pattern in a location with the same lighting conditions and light source as the subject, then zoom in and fill the whole screen with white.
