Security Menu for Owner's Access

The Security menu provides restricted access to special set-up and security features of the camera.

Access to this menu requires the owner's unique smart card for the camera or the PIN code that has been set for the camera.

Note: An owner card is linked to the serial number of the camera and is unique to that camera. It cannot be used as an owner card for another camera.

Inserting the owner card into the camera gives direct access to the security menu. If you select the Security menu without this card inserted, you must enter the correct PIN code to gain access to the Security menu.

User Levels

The installed user level function in the Security menu restricts access, in varying degrees, to the operational controls of the camera. There are four user levels and a service level: user0, user1, user2, user3 and service.

The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is using the camera. In this way a more centralized and uniform control can be achieved and the danger of the camera operator accidentally changing critical functions while shooting is reduced.

User level 0 is a special protection level which locks most of the operational controls of the camera. Use this level to ensure that a camera that has been set- up is not tampered with. User level 0 is not normally used for operational purposes.

The service level gives access to all settings. Enter the PIN code or insert the owner card to access the service level. Leave the service level by removing the owner card or if the access is provided by the PIN code by switching the power to the camera off and on.

The appendix indicates which functions are available at each user level.

Run Hours

This sub-menu allows the date and time to be set and allows the running time of the camera to be viewed for the last 30 days.

PIN Code

The PIN code of the camera can be viewed and changed in the Security menu.

The camera's PIN code when it leaves the factory is set to 0000. It is strongly advised that this code be changed by the owner on receipt of the camera. This ensures added protection against unaurthorised access to the Security menu.

Standard customer file

The green button on the side of the camera recalls the standard scene file. This file contains standard parameters for the picture performance.

A standard operator's file can be recalled via the Files menu. This file contains parameters for the set-up of the camera.

A customer standard file can be defined for the standard scene file and for the standard operator's file.

The contents of the customer files for both these standard files is stored via the security menu. The selection of a factory defined or a customer defined file for use as a standard file is also made in this menu.
