The white balance switch only operates if the colour
temperature is set to the FL, AW1 or AW2 position. Refer
to Section 5 for more information on how to use the
automatic white balance.
Note:
Black balance is not necessary with this camera because
of the continuous automatic black control circuits.

non-standard indicator (!) in the viewfinder lights.
Vertical Shift switch (V-Shift)
Sometimes when shooting TV screens or monitors with
the same display frequency as the camera, a horizontal
black bar is seen in the viewfinder because the camera is
blanking while the TV is not.
The V-Shift switch shifts the camera blanking. It is spring-
loaded with a central rest position. Holding the switch in
the + or - position moves the bar up or down so that it is no
longer visible in the viewfinder. This function is only
available when the camera is used in the stand-allone
mode and is not active when the camera is genlocked or
on-air.
VTR Start button
In the triax mode this button switches the intercom
microphone of the headset to the production intercom
channel.
This button operates in parallel with the VTR button on the
lens.
Gain selection switch
This up/down scroll selection switch gives a choice of five
master gain settings. The values for these settings, except
0 dB, can be set in the Install menu of the camera systems
menu (refer to Section 6). The indicators in the 2-inch
viewfinder light as follows:
-
Gain is - (-3, -6dB)
+
Gain is + (+3, +6, +9dB)
++
Gain is ++ (+6, +9, +12dB)
+ and ++
Gain is +++ (+12dB)
Note: Reduce crispening (peaking) in the viewfinder when
using the +++ position.
Clean Scan button
When shooting computer monitors with higher frame
frequencies than the camera use the Clean Scan function
to avoid horizontal bars in the picture.
Press the Clean Scan button for two seconds to directly
access the variable exposure (clean scan) function. Use
the rotary control to change the value and so remove the
noise bar. When you are finished shooting the monitor
press the Clean Scan button for two seconds to switch off
the Clean Scan function.
When the Clean Scan function is on, the non-standard
indicator in the viewfinder lights. Refer to Section 5 for
more information on shooting screens.
White Balance switch
This momentary switch is used to start the automatic white
balance process. The camera, when pointed at a white
area in the centre of the picture, measures and stores a
colour temperature setting in the FL, AW1 or AW2 memory
position.
