Using the Camera Standard settings
To ensure that some of the camera functions are not
set to unusual values a standard file has been defined
in the factory which contains the normal values for
most functions. The table in the appendix lists the
values that are set when the standard file is recalled. This section describes the operational functions that
are directly available, via the viewfinder display and
the switches at the front and front-left.
The rotary control and select button at the front of the
camera offer a convenient way of accessing the menu
system which provides full control of the camera. But
there are a number of steps that must be carried out
before satisfactory shot can be obtained:
a. The camera must be set up and powered.
b. The standard settings must be recalled.
c. Adjustments must be made for ambient lighting.
d. Shots of TVs or monitors must have special
consideration.
e. In Artificial light conditions use preset lighting
settings to ensure a slow motion picture without
pulsing light effects.
Physical set-up and power supply
Attach lens, viewfinder and microphone to the camera
as described in 'Assembling the Units' in Section 2. If
required mount the camera on a tripod.
For remote operation connect the triax cable to the
triax connector and the camera operator's headset to
the headset socket on the rear panel of the camera.
Connect the audio microphone to either the audio 1 or
2 socket on the rear panel of the camera. For remote
operation the camera is powered by the CPU via the
triax cable. Set the power switch on the rear of the
camera to the position REMOTE.
The camera is now ready for use, however, the
ambient conditions must now be taken into account
and the appropriate adjustments make.
Press the green STD File button on the left side panel
of the camera and hold it for 3 seconds to recall the
standard values for the various functions. The standard
values only take effect when the camera is not On Air.
Note
The MCP can be used to set the standard scene
file to either the factory standard or a customer
defined standard.
