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 81.)

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-D35/D35P/D35WSL/D35WSPL’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 79.)

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.
