RS-232C Command List

The Memory Bank to be Activated When Power is Turned on

When the RS-232C switches are set to

OFF

The “Factory” settings are activated. The AGC, Shutter, WB, and VBS/YC settings made using the DIP switches on the side of the camera or made using R/B adjustment volume are given priority.

When the RS-232C switches are set to ON

The settings in the Memory Bank (Factory/A/B) selected in the last Memory Load operation are activated.

If started using “Factory,” immediately after the power is turned on, the AGC, Shutter, W.Balance, and VBS/ YC settings made using the DIP switches on the side of the camera or made using R/B adjustment volume are given priority. After that, if the camera enters RS- 232C mode, and “Memory Load Factory” is carried out, settings made using the DIP switches on the side of the camera or made using R/B adjustment volume are disabled, and the initial values shown in “Functions Available with Memory Load/Save” on the previous column are activated.
