Instructions

 

 

Thank you for purchasing the JVC color video camera.

To obtain the best results from your new camera, read these instructions carefully before use; retain the manual for future reference.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOIS- TURE.

Information for USA

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Changes or modifications not approved by JVC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

INFORMATION (FOR CANADA) RENSEIGNEMENT (POUR LE CANADA)

This Class [B] digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe [B] est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Due to design modification, data given in this instruction book are subject to possible change without prior notice.

PRECAUTIONS

Picture may not appear correctly if white-spot correction is performed incorrectly. Follow the steps listed in the instructions. (Reference: White-spot correction I) Do not perform this op- eration when there are no white spots.

If an AGC switch is turned on, the sensitivity increases automatically in dark places. It is not a failure when the image looks grainy.

If a zoom lens is used, check the back focus before mounting the camera. This also applies to lens ALC and LEVEL. (See the instructions on lenses for details.)

If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery (especially in AES mode). This is a characteristic of the CCD, and is not a defect.

If an EE lens is used, set the automatic electronic shutter switch (AES) to OFF. If set to ON, flickering may occur. If a manual iris lens is used, set the AES to ON.

When used in hot places, vertical lines may appear on the screen of this camera. This is a characteristic of the CCD and not a failure of the camera.

The automatic tracking system may not function properly when shooting with non-standard lighting or lighting with a color temperature which exceeds the capability of the camera. In such a case, set to the “MANU” position.

If the camera subject is a single solid color (other than white), the auto white circuit will normally attempt to change this color to white. In the case of this camera, if it cannot make a correct prediction, the previous white balance setting will be maintained until the subject colors become more varied.

Noise may appear in the picture and/or the colors may be incorrect if the camera is used near a radio or television transmitting antenna, in places where strong electromagnetic waves are generated by transformers, motors, etc., or near devices emitting radio waves, such as transceivers or cellular phones.

To save energy, be sure to turn off the system when not in use.

MOUNTING A LENS

1. Before mounting a lens, check whether it is a C-mount or CS-mount lens.

A

If a C-Mount lens is used, loosen the back-focus locking screw (M 2.6) using a Phillips

head screwdriver, turn the back-focus adjusting ring with your fingers or the screw-

 

driver and change the mounting method.

 

2.Dimension (b) of the lens shown in the illustration must be as shown in the table B below. If (b) exceeds the value in the table, it may damage the inside of the camera

or correct mounting may be impossible; never use such lenses. Do not attach the C- mount lens when using a CS-mount.

Mounting from the top

Remove the CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET (e) from the bottom of the camera by removing two fixing screws as shown w. Attach the CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET (e) to the top, then mount the camera on the Fixing Unit as shown e. Make sure that two original screws are used when mounting the CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET (e); longer type screws (over 5mm) may damage inner components.

(This camera is used indoor and under similar conditions.)

Fall Prevention

Exercise maximum caution when installing the unit to the wall or ceiling. You should F not engage in the installation work yourself. Ask a professional to do the job, since

the fall of the unit can result in injuries and accidents.

When installing the unit on a fixer, turn table, etc., make sure to install it firmly using a rotation-preventing hole provided to prevent fall.

As a failsafe against falling, attach the unit by chain, wire cable or other safety restraint to an appropri- ate anchor point. Attach the fall prevention wire using the black screw on the upper surface of the camera as shown in figure F. When changing the side at which CAMERA MOUNTING BRACKET is installed, be sure to change the attachment side of the fall prevention wire also to the appropriate side.
