Using the Camera
The camera is operated via the viewfinder text display
and the control system switches on the rear panel.
You have great detail and selection at your disposal
when changing all the functions which are available in
the camera. Refer to the next section (Section 6 -
Operating the Menu System) which explains the use
of the menu selection structure and the viewfinder text
display.
This section describes the operational functions that
are available when using the camera via the viewfinder
display and the switches at the rear.
These offer a convenient way of accessing the menu
system which provides full control of the camera. But
there are a number of steps that must be carried out
before satisfactory shot can be obtained:
a. The camera must be set up and powered.
b. The standard settings must be recalled.
c. Adjustments must be made for ambient lighting.
Physical set-up and power supply
Mount the camera on a tripod. Attach lens, viewfinder
and microphone to the camera as described in
'Assembling the Units' in Section 2.
For remote operation connect the triax cable to the
triax connector and the camera operator's headset to
the headset socket on the rear panel of the camera.
Connect the audio microphone to either the audio 1 or
2 socket on the right panel of the camera. For remote
operation the camera is powered by the base station
via the triax cable. Set the power switch on the right
panel of the camera to the on position.
For stand-alone operation connect the VTR to the 26-
pole VTR connector on the right panel of the camera.
The camera is powered from the mains power supply
which is connected to the input socket on the right
panel.
The camera is now ready for use, however, the
ambient conditions must now be taken into account
and the appropriate adjustments made.
