Adjusting the White Shading

The white shading is adjusted at the factory to match the unit’s standard lens.

Follow the procedure outlined below when the white shading needs to be re-adjusted.

In particular, make sure to re-adjust the white shading when using the following lenses: YJ18x9B4 KBS, YJ18x9B4 IBS.

Be sure to also connect the lens cable.

Adjusting the white shading incorrectly will seriously detract from the camera’s picture quality. Before starting the readjustment procedure, carefully read the description of the white

shading adjustment steps contained in the instruction manual. If any points are unclear, consult with the dealer from whom the unit was purchased for further clarification. Also, make sure to allow sufficient time when performing the white shading readjustment procedure.

5 Shoot an evenly white paper.

Flickering occurs easily when fluorescent or mercury lamps, etc. are used for lighting. Therefore, use a light source which does no produce flickering such as sunlight or halogen lamps, etc.

6 Set the lens iris to manual and adjust the iris so that the ZEBRA pattern covers the entire screen. If the light strikes the subject in an uneven manner, the ZEBRA pattern will not cover a part of the screen. Therefore, adjust the position of the light source, etc. as necessary.

Check that the lens iris is between F4 to F11. If the lens iris is not within this range, adjust the position of the light source, etc.

(Be sure to set the electronic shutter to OFF.)
