Location and Function of Parts

1EZ (“easy”) MODE button and indicator Depress this button (EZ mode on) when you want to be able to shoot immediately, with automatic adjustment of the camera settings to standard values. (See page 61.) When this function is used, the iris and the white balance are adjusted automatically. (The total level control system functions.) Press this button again to return the camera to the previous settings (EZ mode off).

Note

When connecting the CCU-M3/M5/M7 (or CCU-M3P/ M5P/M7P) Camera Control Unit or the RM-M7G Remote Control Unit, the “easy mode” function is disabled.

2EZ FOCUS button

Press this button to turn the “easy focus” function on. This opens the iris, to make it easier to focus before beginning shooting. The indication “EZ FOCUS” appears in the viewfinder while the function is on; to turn it off, press the EZ FOCUS button again. If left on, the function automatically turns off after about ten seconds.

Note

If the “easy focus” function is still on when you press the VTR button, it turns off automatically and recording starts about one second later.

3EDIT SEARCH buttons (for operation with DSR-1/1P)

When using the DSR-1/1P to record, you can see the search playback while pressing either of these buttons at recording pause mode to quickly find the next recording start point. Two playback speeds are available, and press either of the buttons to the inner position to increase the speed.

5A.IRIS (auto iris) MODE switch and indicator When you use the auto iris function (by setting the iris selector on the lens to A), set this switch to suit the shooting conditions. Selecting BACK L gives more light to back-lit subjects, and selecting SPOT L adjusts for high contrast in spot-lit subjects. For normal shooting, set this switch to STD.

6ATW (auto tracing white balance) button and indicator

Press this button, turning the indicator on, when you want the white balance to be adjusted automatically to follow changes in lighting conditions. (See page 73.)

7POWER switch

This powers the camera on and off. There are two different ON settings as follows.

ON STBY: This puts the VTR on standby. In this state, pressing the VTR button on the camera head, the lens or a camera adaptor starts recording immediately.

ON SAVE: This puts the VTR in the power-saving state, with the video head drum stationary. In this state, it takes a few seconds to start recording after pressing the VTR button.

Note

The VTR state when this switch is in the ON STBY or ON SAVE position may depend on the VTR model.

8MENU/STATUS switch

When you press this switch to the MENU position, the basic menu is displayed. Keep pressing it to the MENU position to cycle through the various menu displays. When you press the switch to the STATUS position, the DXC-D30/D30P’s status (of current settings) is displayed.

9W. BAL (white balance) switch

This selects the white balance setting from the preset value, the value in memory A or the value in memory B. (See page 71.)

0OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ (DynaLatitude/dynamic contrast control plus) switch

Use this switch to select the DCC+ function, the DynaLatitude function, or color bar output. Select the CAM/DCC+ position in most cases.

CAM/DCC+: This activates the DCC+ function. This prevents color faults when shooting high- intensity subjects.

CAM/DL: This setting uses the DynaLatitude function, which finely adjusts the contrast of each pixel according to a histogram of luminance signal levels. Access advanced menu page 2 to set the DynaLatitude function ON or OFF. The DynaLatitude effect can be set to any of three levels, Low, STD (standard), and High with basic menu page 3.

BARS: This setting displays color bars.

For details of menu operation, see Chapter 4 “Viewfinder Screen Displays and Menus”.

!Á GAIN switch

This selects one of the three gain settings, high, medium or low. You can choose the gain values assigned to the H, M and L settings from values from –3 dB to 24 dB + DPR and hyper gain.(See page 57.) The factory default selections are 18 dB (H), 9 dB (M) and 0 dB (L).

Note

When the HYPER GAIN switch !» is in the ON position, the GAIN switch has no effect.

!ª NG button

When using the ClipLink function during shooting, you can designate a particular scene as “NG” (No Good) by pressing this button before shooting the next scene. Press the button again to cancel the NG setting.

!£ Breaker switch

If there is a fault in the camera power supply, the breaker trips, and the camera power supply is disconnected. Correct the fault in the power supply, then press this switch.

!¢ REC (recording) TIME switch

This selects the recording time indication in the viewfinder.

TTL: Displays the total recording time.

The total recording time is not reset even when you stop the VTR and power off the camera, for example, to replace the battery pack.

DUR: Displays the recording time of the current cut.

OFF/TC: Switches off the recording time display. If, however, a PVV-3/3P is connected, and in the advanced menus you set the time code display item (TC IND) to ON (see page 59), then the VTR time data (time code, CTL count, or user bit value) is displayed.

Note

The recording time displayed when this switch is set to the TTL or DUR position is obtained by counting the duration of the internal reference signal input to the camera.

The value may not agree exactly with the value derived from the time code values. Furthermore, the value displayed may not be correct when another manufacturer’s VTR is connected to the camera.

!° TTL (total) RESET button

Pressing this button resets the total recording time (TTL selection) to zero.

!¤ SKIN DTL (skin detail) switch

Set this switch to ON to use the skin detail correction function.

For details, see “Skin Detail Correction” (page 84).

!¦ SKIN DTL (skin detail set) SET button

Press this button with the SKIN DTL button !¤ to display the area detect cursor on the viewfinder screen. Place the cursor on the target and press this button to perform skin detail correction.

For details, see “Skin Detail Correction” (page 84).

!¥ SET UP switch

Use this switch to select the camera head setup method.

STD: Set up using the setup menu. Setup file data is not displayed.

FILE: Set up using setup files and the setup menu.

!» HYPER GAIN switch

Setting this switch to the ON position increases the gain by a factor of about 60 with respect to 0 dB (a 30 dB increase by electronic amplification and a 6 dB increase for DPR, bringing about a total gain increase of 36 dB).

When this switch is in the ON position, the indication “HYPER” appears in the viewfinder, and the GAIN UP indicator in the viewfinder also lights.

When finished shooting, return this switch to the OFF position. The “HYPER” indication disappears and the GAIN UP indicator goes out.

Note

Increasing the gain with this switch reduces the horizontal resolution by 50%.
