Display and Operating Elements

Indicators independent of the mode:

TC

TC-recording is turned on (see chapter 12).

TC flashes

Standby: since the last synchronization

 

more than 8 hours have passed or the TC-

 

generator has malfunctioned.

 

Run: as yet no recording has taken or is

 

taking place (see chapter 12).

bat

Battery voltage < 20 V. The camera

 

cannot be started.

asy

The camera is running asynchronously.

end

Indicator of the film end.

Locking the SEL and SET Keys

The keys SEL and SET can be mechanically locked in order to avoid unintentional changing of the set values.

Set the sliding switch to LOCK - SEL and SET can no longer be activated.

The values can still be changed through the CCU-1.

Setting the Speed

At the setting NORM on the sliding switch the standard speeds 24,00/25,00/29,97 and 30,00 fps are available. At the setting PS/CCU, any desired speed within the acceptable range of 5 to 75 fps at 1/1000 fps can be exactly set. On the HS camera (high speed) speeds from 5 to 99,999 fps at 1/1000 fps and speeds from 100 to 150 fps at 1/10 fps can be exactly set. Switching between standard and programmable speed is also possible while the camera is running.

Camera Running

Camera run is started and stopped with the RUN key. The RUN function can also be activated by:

-the camera handgrip

-the shoulder set S-3

-remote control units RS-3 and RS-4

-the camera control unit CCU-1

-the external synchronization unit ESU-1

-the lens-control-system LCS

The LED for camera run shows if the camera is running synchronously (green) or asynchronously (red).
