10Exposure Time switch

This up/down momentary switch gives a choice of eight exposure time settings. These are:

Nom.

- nominal setting

Var.

- enables the exposure to be varied

Crt

- for shooting sync-locked monitors

Film

- enables the exposure to be varied

 

with running shutter.

1/200

- for fast moving objects

1/500

- for fast moving objects

1/1000

- for fast moving objects

50 Hz

- shooting with 50Hz lighting (adjustable)

60 Hz

- shooting with 60Hz lighting (adjustable)

If an exposure time other than nominal is selected, the non-standard indicator (!) in the viewfinder lights

11Vertical Shift switch (V-Shift)

Sometimes when shooting TV screens or monitors with the same display frequency as the camera, a horizontal black bar is seen in the viewfinder because the camera is blanking while the TV is not.

The V-Shift switch shifts the camera blanking. It is spring-loaded with a central rest position. Holding the switch in the + or - position moves the bar up or down so that it is no longer visible in the viewfinder. This function is only available when the camera is used in the stand-allone mode and is not active when the camera is genlocked or on-air.

12VTR Start button

In the triax mode this button switches the intercom microphone of the headset to the production intercom channel. This button operates in parallel with the VTR button on the lens.
