1. INTRODUCTION

PRECAUTIONS ON PROPER USE

Ⅵ HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

ⅷ Storage

•

When recording an important event, be sure to try the

camera first before using it in order to check that the cam-

era operates properly.

Avoid using or placing the unit in places;

• subject to extreme heat or cold;

• with excessive dirt or dust;

• JVC does not guarantee the contents of a recording if the

color video camera, VCR or video cassette malfunctions

during recording.

• with high humidity or moisture;

• subject to strong vibrations or on an unstable surface

• subject to smoke or vapor such as near a cooking stove;

• also do not leave the unit for long hours in a parked car

under direct sunlight or near room heating equipment.

Ⅵ Unique phenomenon of CCD

ⅷ SMEAR AND BLOOMING

Due to the physical structure of the CCDs in this camera it is

possible to induce vertical streaking which is called smear

when shooting a light source with high luminance.

Another effect is the spreading of light around a bright light

or object called Blooming.

ⅷ Ambient Temperature

Ambient temperature influence to an image sensing device.

Make sure to operate the camera in the temperature range

of –5˚C to 45˚C.

To protect your image against lens flare (internal lens reflec-

tions), JVC has adopted a CCD which has less of these phe-

nomenon, however, please be careful when shooting a light

source with high luminance.

ⅷ Ventilation holes

A malfunction may be caused if heat is not properly venti-

lated. Make sure that the cooling fan ventilation holes are not

blocked by an obstruction.

SMEAR

Vertical streaks trailing

from a bright object.

ⅷ Effects of strong electric waves and magnetism

To avoid picture interference and color variation, do not use

the camera near a radio, TV antenna, transformers or mo-

tors which generate strong magnetic field.

Bright object

(i.e. light bulb, sun, etc.)

ⅷ COMPATIBLE LENSES

The lens mount for this camera, KY-F58 is a C-Mount, how-

ever, there remain some lenses adopting a C-Mount which

cannot be used because of camera limitations.

Refer to “MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL LENS (T14 x 5.5MD)

TO THE CAMERA HEAD” on page 9.

ged.

ⅷ White dot

ⅷ EFFECT FROM A WIRELESS MICROPHONE

When using a wireless microphone or a receiver, noise inter-

ference might be pick-up during recording. Please check this

before using.

Whit dots may appear on a screen when operating at high

temperature.

Ⅵ Please turn off the power switch when camera is

not in use.

ⅷ CLEANING THE BODY

When cleaning the cabinet, wipe it with soft cloth.

Do not use benzene or thinner as these may deform or

discolor the cabinet surface.

To remove excessive dirt, clean the unit with a mild deter-

gent diluted with water, then wipe it with dry cloth.

Ⅵ RS-232C INTERFACE

With regard to CONTROL COMMAND etc., please consult

with your local JVC authorized service dealer.

Note:

CAMERA MOUNTING

Make sure to mount the camera firmly.

4. BASIC ADJUSTMENT BEFORE USE (Cont’d)

WHITE SHADING ADJUSTMENT

Green or magenta color appears on the top or bottom of the screen, this is because the white balance is adjusted at the center of the

screen but not at the top or bottom of the screen. This is caused by the characteristics of a lens and to compensate it is called white

shading compensation.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Ⅵ Normal (Field) Mode

During normal recording, the CCD’s storage time is approx. 1/60 sec. [U Ver.] or 1/50 sec. [E Ver.] in the field mode. With the odd

number fields, the total electric charge of the odd number lines and even number lines of the CCD are output to the odd number line

(reading two lines at a time), with the even number field, they are output to the even number line.

Ⅵ High Resolution (Frame strage) Mode (Reading every line)

The CCD storage time is approx. 1/30 sec. [U Ver.] or 1/25 sec. [E Ver.] with the High Resolution mode, which is twice that of the

Normal mode. However there is approx. 1/60 sec. [U Ver.] or 1/50 sec. [E Ver.] (one field) difference in the output timings between

odd number line and even number line.With the odd number fields, electric charge of the odd number line is only output to the odd

number line, and with the even fields, the electric charge of even lines is only output to the even number line. When recording

frames, still picture can be shot at all lines by combining with a FLASH.

With this mode, the vertical resolution is improved however, after-image lag will increase compared to that of the normal mode.

Ⅵ Operations Principles of the Electronic Shutter

(with the 1/500 sec. setting)

Ⅵ SLOW SHUT Function

This function is used to record an object brighter than it ap-

pears in a dark place.

Electric charge is stored in the CCD image sensing device only

for a 1/500 sec. before the signal is read from the CCD image

sensing device. At this time the electric charge stored previ-

ously is discharged to another electrode.This process enables

shutter operations with 1/500 sec.

This function adopts a system which acquires higher electric

charge by taking a longer time for storing electric charge into

the CCD image device, not that the system increases GAIN

electrically.This enables the recording of an image with high

sensitivity even under conditions of less light.

Vertical blanking period

The max. storage time is approx. 8 sec. (240 frames [U Ver.]

or 200 frames [EVer.] ). One frame image is output for several

frames, therefore, the video output signals are latched into a

memory by using a WEN signal which is output at the same

time. On a monitor, the movement of the object looks like the

ones taken under a strobe shot

• On a monitor, the movement of the object looks like the ones

taken under a strobe shot because an image of 1/500 sec.is

detected every 1/60 sec. [U Ver.] or 1/50 sec. [E Ver.].

• Flicker occurs under a light such as fluorescent lamp which

lights cyclically. Adopting a light like an incandescent lamp

which lights constantly is therefore necessary.

WEN output

signal

Note:

• With the AUTO IRIS MODE, the normal video level can-

not be used. Set to the MANUAL IRIS MODE and adjust

the diaphragm of the iris.

• By switching the HI-RESO mode, the FIELD OUTPUT

and FLAME OUTPUT can be selected.

• With the 1/500 sec. shutter mode, the storage time of the

CCD image device is approx. 1/8 [U Ver.] or 1/10 [E Ver.] of

that of normal the mode, and also the sensitivity is 1/8 [U

Ver.] or 1/10 [EVer.] of that of the normal mode.This causes

a shortage of light, so that it is recommended to increase

the light volume by increasing the illumination to 800% [U

Ver.] or 1000% [EVer.] or opening the lens iris about 3 steps.

• When the flame number is increased, noise may also

increase. Set it to the appropriate value.

Ⅵ ALC and EEI Operations

ALC stands for automatic level control, and EEI means shutter iris

control.With FULL AUTO mode, it adopts a system for maintaining

a certain level of video by combining the lens auto iris, the continu-

ous variable electronic shutter (EEI) and the automatic sensitivity

adjustment circuit (ALC).

The automatic sensitivity adjustment circuit works under low illumi-

nance, and the electronic shutter works under high illuminance.

Moreover, when the iris is set to AUTO, sensitivity, the iris and the

electronic shutter change continuously to acquire the appropriate

signal level automatically at any time.

In the ALC mode, there is sensitivity from 0 dB to +18 dB under low

illuminance.In the EEI mode, the electronic shutter varies the shutter

speed automatically from 1/60 [U Ver.] or 1/50 [E Ver.] to 1/1920 [U

Ver.] or 1/1600 [E Ver.] sec.The signal level is adjusted in the range

of 3 ( dark) to 5 ( bright).

When the iris is set to the manual mode, the sensitivity and the

electronic shutter vary continuously without varying the iris setting.

This function enables recording an object without varying its depth

under variable illuminance.

This is the calculated value, which is different from the actual

Illuminance: lx

value displayed on the screen.
