Display and Operating Elements

Checking the Mirror Shutter Setting

The mirror shutter setting can also be checked with the lens attached.

•In Standby depress the PHASE key and keep de- pressed - the angle symbol appears on the display. After approx. 2 seconds the set shutter angle will be displayed in the upper line.

Synchronizing on the Video Monitor

With the new synchronization function the camera can by synchronized by hand on a monitor or a television. To film from a quartz-stabilized monitor, the frame speed and the phase of the camera must be aligned to the camera.

Through the external synchronization unit ESU-1 the camera can also automatically be synchronized on a video monitor (see the technical information sheet ESU-1).

Fine-Tuning the Frame Speed

Frame speed can be finely tuned when the magazine is removed.

•In Standby, set the programmable speed to half the rated frequency on the monitor.

•Set the sliding switch to PS/CCU.

•Start the camera.

•Switch the MODE key on the display to mode 2 (programmable speed).

•If the camera is running change the speed with the SEL key (to decrease speed) and the SET key (to increase speed) until the bar on the monitor in the picture area no longer wanders.

Shifting Phase

Shifting phase is effective only for the current take and should therefore be done again every time the camera is started.

•Start the camera.

•Hold the PHASE key depressed until the bar on the monitor has disappeared from the picture area.
