Operation Procedure
1Turn on the power of each equipment.
2Properly adjust the light for the ob-
ject.
3Adjust the flange back of the lens, the
iris and the focus.
≥ Flange back must be adjusted when
the camera is used for the first time or
after replacement of the lens.
4Adjust the white balance.
≥ This adjustment is needed when the
camera is used for the first time or af-
ter leaving unused for a long time.
≥The adjustment is necessary when the
lighting condition or brightness is changed.
≥After adjusting the white balance once,
re-adjustment is not needed under the
same condition.
5Adjust the black balance.
≥This adjustment is needed when the
camera is used for the first time or af-
ter leaving unused for a long time.
≥The adjustment is necessary when the
ambient temperature is greatly changed
or at the change of season.
≥After adjusting the black balance once,
re-adjustment is not needed under the
same condition.
6Start shooting.
(After shooting, be sure to turn off the
power of each equipment connected.)

_Flange back adjustment (for zoom lens)
The adjustment is to adjust the focus in all the range from the maximum zoom to the
widest angle of the zoom lens.
1 Shoot a dark object to open the iris.
2Adjust the distance from the object to 6.6 ft. (2 m) at least, then loosen the flange back
fixing knob of the lens.
3Set the lens to the maximum zoom and adjust the focus by turning the focus ring.
4Set the lens to the widest angle and adjust the focus by turning the flange back adjust
ring.
5Repeat adjusting the focus ring and flange back adjust ring until the focus is adjusted
within the zooming range.
After finishing the adjustment, tighten the flange back fixing knob.

_Lens iris gain volume adjustment
≥ Iris gain adjust hole (G or S) is provided at front of the lens housing.  Adjust the iris
according to the following procedure by using a screwdriver.
1Set the iris select switch of the lens to A “AUTO” side.
2Turn the iris gain adjust volume to maximize the gain in such extent that no hunting
takes place.

_Color temperature and  while balance adjustment (reference)
When carbon is burnt, it develops vari-
ous colors of light depending on the tem-
perature. Natural light can be specified
by color temperature reflecting to the
color developed when carbon is burnt.
The light of 3,200K (K=Kelvin, j273°C
equals to absolute zero temperature OK)
represents the same value (color) as
what develops when carbon is burnt at
3,200K (2,927°C). The relationship be-
tween the color temperature of the light
source and weather condition is indi-
cated in the right figure. Let’s study the
difference of shooting an indoor object
from shooting one outdoors. Studios are
usually lighted with incandescent lamps
and the color temperature of a white
object in a studio is around 3,200K. The
color temperature of a white object out-
doors is around 6,500K. The former may
look a little yellowish while the latter ap-
pears somewhat bluish when they are
shot by a camera. However, the human
eye does not recognize color differences
among these objects even under differ-
ent ambient lighting conditions, because
of their adaptability to light.
The video camera reproduces color differences with high fidelity and the color of an
object somewhat different from what appears to the human eye.
Therefore, there is a need to adjust the white balance in order to correct differences
between color temperatures.

How to Adjust
_White balance adjustment
Adjust the white balance after shooting a white object by at least 50% of the screen.
NOTE:If the white signal level is over 100% or less than 50%, the white balance may not
be normally adjusted.
Color temperature outdoors may vary depending on weather conditions.

_Black balance adjustment
≥Adjust it with the lens closed.
When the motor drive lens is controlled from the camera, adjusting the black balance
causes the lens to be automatically closed.
How to Adjust
_Gen lock adjustment
When multiple cameras are used or the camera is combined with other equipment, it is
necessary to adjust the phase for phase matching by external synchronization.
≥Horizontal phase adjustment
Observe the waveforms of externally synchronizing signal input (black burst signal)
and video signal output by a two-phenomenon oscilloscope, and make the horizontal
phase according to the camera menu.
1Roughly adjust the synchronizing
signal input and video signal output
phases by H.PHASE-COARSE.
2Finely adjust the synchronizing sig-
nal input and video signal output
phases by H.PHASE-FINE.

H.Phase adjustment is executed by
the HD Controller AK-HRP900.
