Preface This is an HD/SD multi-format camera that adopts 14-bit analog to digital conversion and digital video signal processing, with a compact and lightweight 2/3˝ 3CCD system offering high reliability and availability of multiple functions. Setting and switching of the camera’s status and its various functions can be performed easily with the menu screen system.
Features The camera features high reliability through adoption of 14-bit analog to digital conversion and digital video signal processing. • An optimum condition can be selected to suit the intended use from among four use modes (Halogen, Fluorescent, Outdoor, and User). • Supports the SDI card option*2 (AW-HHD870). • Adopts operating procedures that are the same as those of our convertible cameras*3. • Our pan-tilt heads*4 and control panels can be used*5.
Special notes on operation Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting cables. Connection or disconnection of any studio cable or other cable to any unit of equipment must be performed while power is off. There is a cooling fan inside. The cooling fan is a consumable part. Replace it 3 to 5 years after installation as a general rule. When the cooling fan malfunctions, the “Fan Error” message is displayed when the power is turned ON.
Precautions for use DON’TS Do not attempt to disassemble the camera or other units. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not expose the camera or other units to rain or moisture, and do not try to operate the equipment in wet conditions. Do not operate the camera if it becomes wet. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc.
Precautions for use DOS Take immediate action if ever the camera should become wet. Turn the power off and have the unit checked by an authorized service facility. Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. Handle the camera with care. Follow normal safety precautions to avoid personal injury. Protect the precision made lens by placing the lens cap over when the camera is not in use.
Precautions for installation The connection and installation should be done by qualified service personnel or system installers. Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel.
Precautions for installation The connection and installation should be done by qualified service personnel or system installers. Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. Concerning the mounting screws and drop-prevention wire Attach the drop-prevention wire as a way to prevent the camera from dropping. When the unit is to be mounted onto a Panasonic pan-tilt head, use the mounting screws and drop-prevention wire that are supplied with the pan-tilt head.
Precautions for installation The connection and installation should be done by qualified service personnel or system installers. Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. Parts to be provided by the customer for installation Mounting screws (M4): 1 (For attaching the drop-prevention wire) Determine the length of Drop-prevention wire this screw by factoring in the thickness of the 5 mm drop-prevention wire’s terminal.

Use mode setting Use Mode Setting The camera has four use modes, and various functions for four use modes have been preset. Functions can be set as best suited to each use mode. Halogen mode Suited to indoor shooting, such as at weddings, parties, lecture meetings, events, etc. Settings can be changed using a simple menu. Fluorescent mode Suited to indoor shooting under fluorescent lighting. Settings can be changed using a simple menu. Outdoor mode Suited to outdoor shooting.
Use mode setting Selecting 1. Turn the camera on while keeping the MENU switch depressed. The use mode setting menu appears on the monitor screen. MENU switch ENTER/AWB switch UP/ABB switch DOWN/BAR switch 2. The cursor moves each time the UP/ABB switch or the DOWN/BAR switch is pressed. Move the cursor to the desired use mode. 3. Press the ENTER/AWB switch. The selecting use mode comes into effect.
Operating procedure 1 2 3 Turn on the power of the camera and other units. 6 Adjust the black balance. 7 Take the shots. Adjust the lighting of the subject to the appropriate level. Select the operating mode. Once the mode has been selected, it need not be selected again when the camera is going to be used under the same conditions. 4 Adjust the flange back of the lens, and adjust the iris and focus. (On completion, turn off the power of the camera and other units.
Adjustment Flange back adjustment (For zoom lens) This is for adjusting the zoom lens focus over the entire focusing range from the TELE end to the WIDE end. 1. Fully open the iris by shooting a dark object. 2. Aim the camera at any object over 6.56 ft. (2 m) away from the camera, and then loosen the flange back lock knob. 3. Set the lens to its TELE end first and adjust its focus with the focus ring. 4. Set the lens to its widest angle next and adjust its focus with the flange back adjust ring. 5.
Adjustment White balance adjustment 2. Aim the camera at a white object (a white wall or a white handkerchief) and zoom in to enlarge the image as much as possible. The white object For white balance setting aim must occupy over the camera at a white object 10 % of the monitor screen area. and try to position it in the center of the monitor screen. The object must appear in over 10 % of the total monitor screen area. Try to avoid overly bright objects in the scene.
Adjustment Manual white balance setting Notes Manual setting is possible in User Mode only. White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting of the object is too weak. Since the camera has a built-in memory, the set white balance will remain in the memory even if power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the white balance if the color temperature of those objects remains unchanged.
Adjustment Black balance adjustment Close the lens. If the motor drive lens is controlled from the camera, the lens is automatically closed when the black balance is adjusted. The R/B pedestal adjustment of painting setting will be automatically reset to ±0 after setting the black balance. (Painting setting in only User Mode.) UP/ABB switch Press the UP/ABB switch for over 2 seconds and the black balance will be set in 30 seconds.
Adjustment Total pedestal level adjustment (Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for this adjustment.) This step is to adjust the black levels (pedestal levels) of two or more cameras to be the same. Please contact your dealer for the adjustment. Brightness Set Picture Level 0 Light PEAK/AVG 0 Light Area Top Cut Shutter Mode Step Step/Synchro Off Gain 0dB AGC Max Gain --Pedestal 0 1. Close the lens. 2. Select Pedestal item in the Brightness Set sub menu. 3. Set the pedestal level to 5 IRE (0.
Adjustment Genlock adjustment Phase adjustments must be performed with the camera menu when external synchronizing signals are supplied to the system in cases where multiple cameras are used or peripheral devices are connected. Please contact your dealer for the adjustment. S-Video terminal will be synchronized with the external synchronizing signal.
Adjustment Select [H Phase] on the G/L Set sub menu. • When adjusting the phase of SD signals Observe the waveforms of the external synchronizing input signal (black burst signal) and video output signal on a two-channel oscilloscope. Then match the horizontal phase of both signals by adjusting them with the horizontal phase control of the camera menu. Adjust the horizontal phase with the UP/ABB and DOWN/BAR switch. The level of [H Phase] adjustment can be selected with [H Phase, SC Fine Step].
Adjustment Color phase adjustment Adjustment by camera menu Color phase adjustment is necessary only for the composite or Y/C signals of the SD format. Adjust the color phase of the camera to the basic color tone such as program output signal (split color bar output signal) from the color special effect generator. Press the DOWN/BAR switch for over 2 seconds to display the color bar. Press the MENU switch for 3 seconds or more to display the main menu.
