Front Panel Controls (continued):
Controls (left to right):
AF AREA <SHIFT> AF Response:
AF Area can be set to determine what area of the image is to be used for
Auto Focus. AF Response is the amount of time or responsiveness that the camera will focus in Auto Mode.
AE AREA <SHIFT> AE Response:
AE Area can be set to determine what area of the image is to be used
for the Auto Exposure Area. The AE Response sets the Auto Focus sensitivity.
Shutter:
Allows user to adjust the shutter speed (default is 1/60). Shutter allows the user to regulate the
exposure and maintain desired motion portrayal. Keep the shutter at 1/60 or 1/100 to prevent strobe or flicker
when shooting under fluorescent, mercury vapor or halogen lamps. Shutter is only available in manual mode.
Shift:
The Shift Button, when lit, assigns the bottom row controls to the encoders and the buttons (excluding
the Scene and CCU Control button).
WB Mode:
This button toggles through 5 Modes of White Balance (Auto, Preset, Indoor, Outdoor & ATW).
Look at display for the mode change and at the monitor to see the qualities of the 5-modes.
Master Gain <SHIFT> AGC Max Gain
: Master Gain sets the overall gain level and is available in Manual
shooting mode. AGC Max Gain is the maximum level that the Automatic Gain control can be set. Too much
gain adds noise, so balance the brightness of the image with the noise for best results.
Red Gain <SHIFT> Gamma:
Red Gain adjusts the red shading of the overall image and is available in
manual mode only (Preset in WB Mode). Gamma adjusts the mid-range brightness of an image.
Blue Gain <SHIFT> AWB Shift:
Blue gain adjusts the blue shading of the overall image and is available in
the manual (Preset in WB Mode) mode only. AWB Shift allows the operator to use automatic white balance
and manually shift the auto settings to the red or to the blue.
Iris/Camera Mode:
5-Shooting Modes (Auto, Manual, Night Shutter Priority and Iris Priority) to choose
between. To make an Iris adjustment the camera is required to be in Manual or Iris priority.
Iris or Exposure:
Iris control allows the user to manually set the amount of light hitting the image sensors
when the camera is in manual mode. The Exposure control compensates for the exposure and also acts as a
brightness control. Exposure can be used in Manual mode only
Enhancer or G/L Phase:
The enhancer can improve the shot by revealing details in certain areas of the
image. G/L Phase adjusts the phase of the GENLOCK. This is for fine adjustments of the GENLOCK phase.
