User manual PANASONIC AW-E800

[. . . ] Warning: To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the user must use only shielded interface cables when connecting to external units. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user's authority to operate it. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER TO SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (service) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. For CANADA This class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. [. . . ] If the white balance has not ended successfully, change the lens iris setting, lighting, subject or other aspects, and try performing the automatic adjustment again. If the black balance has not ended successfully, close the lens iris completely, and try performing the automatic adjustment again. Red and blue gain adjustment controls [PAINTING GAIN R/B] These controls enable the white balance to be adjusted finely when the white balance selector switch is at the [A] or [B] setting. When the white balance is automatically adjusted again after it has been finely adjusted, it will return to the status prior to the fine adjustment regardless of the positions of these controls. The function of the controls may be implemented in steps since the processing involved uses digital signals: This is normal and does not indicate any malfunctioning. 7 Parts and their functions Red and blue pedestal adjustment controls [PAINTING PED R/B] These controls enable the black balance to be adjusted finely. When the black balance is automatically adjusted again after it has been finely adjusted, it will return to the status prior to the fine adjustment regardless of the positions of these controls. The function of the adjustment controls may be implemented in steps since the processing involved uses digital signals: This is normal and does not indicate any malfunctioning. Electronic shutter selector switch [SHUTTER OFF/100/500/1000/ S/S /ELC] This switch enables the shutter speed (OFF, 1/100, 1/500, 1/1000) as well as S/S and ELC to be selected. The shutter speed can be varied continuously at this setting. (60. 34 Hz to 15. 75 kHz) Display the camera's menu using the menu ON/OFF switch , and set the shutter speed. (For details, refer to the camera's operating instructions. ) ELC: At this setting, the electronic shutter is controlled, and the light quantity is automatically adjusted. Recommended headset: HRM-201D (Ashida Sound Co. , Ltd) CC-26K (CLEAR-COM) Lens iris control [IRIS LEVEL] ALC (AGC and ELC) can be finely adjusted by setting the lens iris selector switch to [AUTO], the scene file switch to [USER], and [Auto iris adjust] to [ON] using the camera's menu. When the lens iris selector switch is set to [MANU], the lens iris can be adjusted manually from closed to wide open. (Normally, pins #12 to #15 are not used when exercising control by contacts. ) Gen-lock input/output connector [G/L IN/OUT] (75-ohm automatic termination) The external sync signals (black burst signals or composite signals) from another system are connected here. Note: The input signals must be connected to the BNC connector marked "IN" (75-ohm automatic termination). If it is connected to the BNC connector marked "OUT, " a high-impedance state will result, and the connector will not be terminated by the 75-ohm resistance. AUX signal input/output connector [AUX IN/OUT] (75-ohm automatic termination) Connect the line view signals from a live switcher or other device here. Note: The input signals must be connected to the BNC connector marked "IN" (75-ohm automatic termination). If it is connected to the BNC connector marked "OUT, " a high-impedance state will result, and the connector will not be terminated by the 75-ohm resistance. The optional board must be installed in the camera in order to use a contact-type pan/tilt head. For details, refer to the camera's operating instructions. When the control pins (#1 to #10) are connected to the COMM pin (#11), the control signals are sent from the RCU to the camera. When the controller is to be fabricated, connect a resistor with a resistance of 1 to 10 kilohms (1/8 W or more) between the COMM pin and +5 V pin. 11 Parts and their functions Video output connectors [VIDEO1, VIDEO2] The video signals from the camera after cable compensation are output from these connectors. (The same signal is output from connectors 1 and 2. ) Connect the connectors to the video input connectors on the live switcher, color monitor, VTR or other device. (Output impedance: 75 ohms) Tally/intercom input/output connector [TALLY/INCOM] (D-SUB 15-pin connector) Connect this to the TALLY & INCOM connector on the live switcher (AW-SW350). Set the INCOM selector switch on the live switcher (AW-SW350) to [3-wire type]. [. . . ] Set the vectorscope to the gen-lock mode using the same gen-lock signals. Observe the waveforms on the vectorscope, and use the subcarrier phase coarse adjustment switch and the subcarrier phase fine adjustment control to set the colors of the color bars to the prescribed phase.

However, the menu items can be set or changed for each mode to match the actual shooting conditions. For details, refer to the camera's operating instructions. Menu displays These displays can be set when the menu ON/OFF switch is set to [ON].
