manual abstract
This improves picture quality, stability and reliability, and allows the viewfinder screen displays as well as numerous adjustment and setup items to be converted to menus. Setting menu The setting menu is displayed on the viewfinder screen, and controls the status displays, messages, marker displays, etc. Whether or not to display each item, as well as the display conditions when items are to be displayed, can be selected according to the user's convenience. For example, display ON/OFF for the ! lamp display which informs the user that the unit has entered irregular status can be selected for 7 different conditions. The setting menu is also used to select various settings and functions and execute memory card operations, etc. Setup cards Setting menu and subject data can be stored on SRAM memory cards with a capacity of 64 kilobytes or greater which conform to PCMCIA standard ratings as setup cards. Stored data can be saved individually or according to the shooting conditions, allowing the same setup conditions to be easily reproduced and assisting in standardizing setup conditions between individual data. An ATA flash memory card with a memory size of 4 MB or more is required to operate the Picture Link (Pix Link) function sold as an optional accessory. High-function electronic shutter Using the built-in electronic shutter achieves steady images even of quickly moving subjects. In addition, the following special operation modes can also be selected. • Synchro scan mode: This mode is suited for shooting personal computer and workstation monitor screens, and provides images with little horizontal stripe noise. • High vertical resolution {Super V) mode: This mode provides images with high vertical resolution compared to standard mode. Wide range of video gain selections Gain values can be selected from —3 dB to +46 dB using the setting menu and the GAIN switch. The high S/N ratio allows images with little noise to be obtained even when the gain is increased for shooting in dark locations. Using the SUPER GAIN switch provided specially to implement the super gain function, the video gain can be set to 30 dB, 37 dB, 43 dB or 46 dB. Automatic adjustment and memory functions for black balance/white balance The black set, black balance and white balance can be automatically adjusted by simple switch operations. Adjustment values are held in the memory even if the power for the unit is turned off, so there is no need to readjust the balance each time the power is turned on. There are two memory systems for white balance which can hold four adjustment values each for the CC and ND filters, making a total of eight adjustment values. When adjustment values matching the illumination conditions are selected from among the values stored in the memory, the unit is automatically adjusted to the corresponding white balance. (A menu setting also allows adjustment of only two values instead of the values for each filter.) In addition, when the unit is shipped from the factory, the white balance value for 3200K is stored in the memory as a preset value. This value can be called when there is no time to adjust the white balance, etc. -5- Features High-performance viewfinder •The high-resolution CRT projects a detailed picture which facilitates focus operations. •The viewfinder employs a low flare CRT which makes the screen easy to see. •A center marker which indicates the center of the screen and a safety zone marker which indicates the effective screen region can be displayed by menu operations. •A large aperture allows the screen to be easily seen even when the operator’s eye is removed from the eyepiece. •The eyepiece can easily be detached. When the eyepiece is detached, the center of the screen will not become blurred even when viewed from a distance. •One-touch position adjustment is possible not only in the right-left direction but also in the foward-backward direction. Character display function The unit is equipped with a function that displays switch settings, the automatic adjustment status for black balance and white balance, warning displays, etc. on the viewfinder screen. In addition, when using an Anton Bauer Digital Magnum series battery as the unit's power supply, the remaining battery level can be displayed numerically on the viewfinder screen. Warning system for displaying the VTR section status The unit informs of VTR trouble, the end of the tape, battery wear, etc. with various warning lamps and a warning tone. The remaining tape time can also be checked by the character display inside the viewfinder. Four filter disks as standard equipment CC (color temperature conversion) and ND (neutral density) filters are provided as standard equipment. This allows the optimal filter setting to be selected from among four combinations in accordance with the brightness of the subject.
