Controls and Their Functions

Shooting (Recording)/Playback Function Section (4)

VTR START button

When this pressed, recording commences; when it is pressed again, recording stops. This but- ton has the same function as the VTR button on the lens side.

VTR SAVE/STBY (tape protection) switch

This selects the power supply status while the VTR recording is temporarily stopped (REC PAUSE).

SAVE: This is the tape protection mode. The cylinder is stopped in the half-loading status. Compared with the STBY position, less power is consumed and the unit can be oper- ated longer using the battery. It takes longer for recording to commence after the VTR START button is pressed in the SAVE position than in the STBY position.

When the switch is set to this position, the VTR SAVE lamp inside the viewfinder lights.

STBY: Recording commences immediately when the VTR START button is pressed.

MODE CHECK button

While this button is kept depressed, the camera’s setting status is displayed in the viewfinder. It does not affect the camera’s output signals. This button can also be used for fine adjustment at the setting menu during synchro scan mode.

SUPER IRIS button

This is used when backlight compensation is to be provided. When it is pressed, the switch settings are displayed inside the viewfinder for 3 seconds. When it is pressed again, backlight compensation is released.

Whether the super gain (30 dB) mode or the super iris (backlight compensation) mode is to apply can be selected on the setting menu. This button can also be used for fine adjustment during synchro scan mode.

Super gain: When 30 dB is allotted to the SUPER IRIS button, DTL and other menu settings cannot be performed for this 30 dB.
