CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Be absolutely sure to leave the electronic shutter at OFF. Method to correct the waveform to be more flat by combining the sawtooth-shaped waveform and the parabola waveform when watching the respective waveforms of R, G and B of the video signals. Adjust the white shading in the following manner after turning OFF the DS. GAIN. Note Coloring may occur in the vertical direction near where the lens aperture is open even when the white shading has been adjusted. This is something that is inherent to lenses and optical systems and is therefore not indicative of a failure or malfunctioning. 8 1 2 3 4 1 Set the WHITE BAL selector switch to "A" or "B, " and use the AUTO W/B BAL switch to adjust the white balance automatically (AWB). 2 Use the AUTO W/B BAL switch to adjust the black balance automatically (ABB). 3 Again, use the AUTO W/B BAL switch to adjust the white balance automatically (AWB). Attach the lens to the camera. At this stage, do not forget to connect the lens cable. Set the electronic shutter to OFF and the gain to "L (0 dB). " If the extender is attached to the lens, release the extender function. Open the <GAMMA> screen from the PAINT page using the menu operation to confirm that GAMMA MODE SEL is set to "HD. " Then, open <VF DISPLAY> from the VF page to confirm that ZEBRA1 DETECT and ZEBRA2 DETECT are the same as shown in the following illustration. If they are not the same, revise the settings and close the menu screen. # < VF DISPLAY > DISP CONDITION DISP MODE VF OUT VF DTL ZEBRA1 DETECT ZEBRA2 DETECT ZEBRA2 LOW LIGHT LVL RC MENU DISP. :NORMAL :3 :Y :3 :070% :085% :SPOT :35% :OFF :OFF :50% :sec 9 Repeat step 7. 10 Using the menu operation, open the <WHITE SHADING> screen from the MAINTENANCE page and a range of items from R H SAW item to B V PARA item, so that the waveform is more flat. < WHITE SHADING > # CORRECT R H SAW R H PARA R V SAW R V PARA G H SAW G H PARA G V SAW G V PARA B H SAW B H PARA B V SAW B V PARA :ON :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 :+000 H SAW Before correction H PARA After correction 5 6 Set the ZEBRA switch on the viewfinder to ON. Shoot a white sheet of paper with no unevenness of color. 11 When the lens has an extender or ratio converter, repeat steps 7 - 9 to enable the extender or ratio converter function. The camera-recorder stores, as one lens file data item, three different correction values for the following: a lens with an extender, a lens with a ratio converter, and a lens with neither of them. Note Since fluorescent lights, mercury lamps and other such kinds of lighting tend to flicker, use a light source which is free from flicker such as sunlight or a halogen lamp. 106 Preparation Mounting the lens and Performing the Flange Back and White Shading Adjustments When making the white shading correction, make the adjustment while observing the R, G, and B waveforms in the horizontal and vertical directions with the waveform monitor. This now completes the white shading adjustments. The adjustment values are now stored in the non-volatile memory so that even when the unit's power is turned off, there will be no further need to perform the white shading adjustment. Preparation Preparation Mounting the lens and Performing the Flange Back and White Shading Adjustments 107 Preparing for Audio Input Take the following steps to prepare the camera for connecting audio input devices. When Using the Front Microphone AJ-HPX3000 can be equipped with the AJ-MC900G stereo microphone kit (an extra-cost option). 3 1 Connect the microphone cable to the MIC IN jack on the camera. Open the microphone holder. MIC IN Jack 4 2 Mount the microphone and tighten the clamping screw. The microphone must be attached with the UP mark on the microphone facing up. Clamping Screw Set the AUDIO IN switch to [FRONT] depending on the audio channel to be recorded. AUDIO IN Switch When Using a Wireless Receiver When Using the Unislot Wireless Receiver 1 Remove the cover to insert the wireless receiver and secure it with the screws. 2 Set the AUDIO IN switch to [W. L. ] depending on the audio channel to be recorded. 108 Preparation Preparing for Audio Input When Using Audio Devices 1 2 3 Connect the audio device to the AUDIO IN jack with the XLR cable. Set the AUDIO IN switch to [REAR] for the channel to which the XLR cable is connected. Set the LINE/MIC/+48V selector switch on the rear panel to [LINE]. LINE/MIC/+48V Selector Switch Preparation AUDIO IN Jack AUDIO IN Switch Mounting the Camera on a Tripod When mounting the camera on a tripod, use the tripod adapter supplied with the camera. 1 Mount the tripod adapter on the tripod. Tripod Adapter Removing the Camera from the Tripod Adapter Tripod Adapter Pan head Red Lever Black Lever While holding the red lever down, move the black lever in the direction of the arrow, and slide the camera backward to remove it. Note Select an appropriate hole in the adapter, taking into account the center of gravity of the camera and tripod adapter combined. Also, make sure that the diameter of the selected hole matches the diameter of the pan head screw. Note If the tripod adapter pin does not return to its original position after the camera has been removed, hold the red lever down and move the black lever in the direction of the arrow again, in order to return the pin to its original position. Please note that the camera cannot be mounted if the pin remains in the center. 2 Mount the camera on the tripod adapter. Slide the camera forward along the grooves until you hear a "click".
