<Notes>

≥Before connecting or disconnecting the dedicated cable, be absolutely sure to set the POWER switches on the unit and the AJ-EC3P to OFF.

≥If the ECU DATA SAVE item on the <SW MODE> screen is set to OFF, the camera related settings among the adjustments and settings performed using the AJ-EC3P will be erased when the unit’s POWER switch is set to OFF. In addition, it will not be possible to write this data to the setup card.

It is however possible for the menu content settings to be written on the setup card.

≥The unit’s USER switch does not function when the AJ- EC3P is connected.

≥When the AJ-EC3P is used to control the unit’s shutter, the shutter speed settings on the unit’s menu are used rather than the shutter speeds engraved on the AJ-EC3P. The correspondence between the shutter speed indications on the AJ-EC3P and the unit’s shutter speed settings are shown in the table below.
