Changing fps

Fps is set on the Standard Camera Control Panel by pushing the FPS selector buttons with a small pointed tool 
while the camera is in standby. Fps is set on the Extended Camera Control Panel by first pressing and holding 
the UNLOCK button then using the FPS selector buttons while the camera is in standby.

Note: 

Before entering the desired fps on the Camera Control Panel, ensure that no other component has control 

of the camera, e.g. if the Speed Control Box is attached, its SPEED CONTROL switch has to be set to OFF. Simi-
larly, if the Manual Control Box is connected to the camera, its MANUAL CONTROL switch has to be set to OFF 
or to SHUTTER  .

Changing shutter angle

To change the shutter angle with the Standard Camera Control Panel, press the SET shutter angle selector with 
a small pointed tool. On the Extended Camera Control Panel, it is necessary to press and hold the UNLOCK 
button while pressing the SET shutter angle button.
With either panel, each pressing of the SET shutter angle button will cycle through following values:
180°, 172.8°, 150°, 144°, 135°, 120°, 105°, 90°, 86.4°, 75°, 60°, 45°, 43.2°, 30°, 22.5°, 11.2°.

Note: 

Before entering the desired shutter angle on the Camera Control Panel, ensure that no other component has 

control of the camera, e.g. if the Manual Control Box is attached to the camera, its MANUAL CONTROL switch 
has to be set to OFF or to FPS. If the SCB is connected to the camera, make sure its COMPENSATION switch is 
set to OFF or to IRIS.
