Security Menu for Owner's Access
The Security menu provides restricted access to special set-
up and security features of the camera.
Access to this menu requires the owner's unique smart card
for the camera or the PIN code that has been set for the
camera.
Note: An owner card is linked to the serial number of the
camera and is unique to that camera. It cannot be
used as an owner card for another camera.
Inserting the owner card into the camera gives direct access
to the security menu. If you select the Security menu without
this card inserted, you must enter the correct PIN code to gain
access to the Security menu.
User Levels
The installed user level function in the Security menu restricts
access, in varying degrees, to the operational controls of the
camera. There are four user levels: user0, user1, user2 and
user3.
The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions
which can be changed by whoever is using the camera. In this
way a more centralized and uniform control can be achieved
and the danger of the camera operator accidentally changing
critical functions while shooting is reduced.
User level 0 is a special protection level which locks most of
the operational controls of the camera. Use this level to
ensure that a camera that has been set-up is not tampered
with. User level 0 is not normally used for operational purposes.
The appendix indicates which functions are available at each
user level.
Run Hours
This sub-menu allows the date and time to be set and allows
the running time of the camera to be viewed for the last 30
days.
PIN Code
The PIN code of the camera can be viewed and changed in
the Security menu.
The camera's PIN code when it leaves the factory is set to
0000. It is strongly advised that this code be changed by the
owner on receipt of the camera. This ensures added protection
against unaurthorised access to the Security menu.
Standard customer file
The green button on the side of the camera recalls the
standard scene file. This file contains standard parameters
for the picture performance.
A standard operator's file can be recalled via the Files menu.
This file contains parameters for the set-up of the camera.
A customer standard file can be defined for the standard
scene file and for the standard operator's file.
The contents of the customer files for both these standard
files is stored via the security menu. The selection of a factory
defined or a customer defined file for use as a standard file is
also made in this menu.
