Operating precautions
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under
the proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when
shooting under fluorescent lights.
Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts
to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C [95 °F])
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air
directly toward the installation location.
Do not point the camera at strong
lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.

Blooming
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed
at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some
other remedial action.
When using the automatic functions
p
The initial settings have been set to auto for some of
the items of the scenes on the camera menus and
other menus, making it impossible for these items to be
operated manually. To operate them manually, switch from
the auto settings to the manual settings as required.
p
When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment)
function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may
vary.
p
In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto
setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and
focus manually.
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur
during zooming.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the
focus to auto.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with
zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end where
the focusing accuracy is higher.
(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less
than 1.5 meters [4.92 ft], the subject may shift out of focus at
the Wide end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted
the focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.
Operation of the lens when the power is turned on
When the unit’s power is turned on, the zoom, focus and iris
are adjusted automatically.
The unit comes with the safe mode.
The safe mode is function designed to protect the unit from
damage.
For further details, refer to “Concerning the safe mode”
(page 89 in the <Operations and Settings>).
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature
drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the
temperature rises above 40 °C (104 °F) since these
temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely
affect the internal parts.
Concerning the VIDEO OUT signal
The VIDEO OUT signal is provided in case the images are to
be monitored.
Concerning the HDMI interface standard
This unit has been certified as HDMI-compatible, but on rare
occasions images may not be displayed depending on the
HDMI device which has been connected to the unit.
Color bars
p
Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the
widths and positions of these bars may differ from other
models.
p
The setting for the Down CONV. Mode item when color
bars are displayed is fixed at “Squeeze”.
