instructions of the lens.
≥While  the  lens  is  removed,  attach  the  mount  cap  to  protect  the
unit.
Preparations
Using an AC power supply
(with the AJ-B75 AC adapter)
1Connect  the  unit’s  external  DC  input
socket  with  the  DC  OUT  socket  on  the  AJ-
B75 AC adapter.
2Turn on the AC adapter’s power.
5Proceed  with  the  flange  back  adjustment
for the lens.
3Set the unit’s POWER switch to ON.
When  an  AC  adapter  other  than  the  AJ-B75  is  to  be  used,
check the pin signals of the external DC input socket.
≥When  both  a  battery  pack  and  an  AC  adapter  have  been
connected, the power supplied from the AC adapter takes priority.
It is also possible to attach/remove a battery while the AC adapter
is being used.
≥When an AC adapter is to be used, the unit’s POWER switch must
be  set  to  ON  only  after  the  AC  adapter’s  power  has  been  turned
on.    If  the  power  is  switched  on  in  the  reverse  sequence,  the  AC
adapter’s  output  voltage  will  rise  slowly,  possibly  causing  the  unit
to malfunction.

Lens adjustments and checks
The  flange  back  (distance  from  the  lens  mounting  surface  to  the
image  formation  surface)  is  adjusted  when  a  subject  cannot  be
brought  into  focus  precisely  using  either  the  telephoto  or  the  wide
angle positions when performing zoom operations.
Once the flange back has been adjusted, it need not be re-adjusted
unless  the  lens  is  replaced.    For  details  on  the  adjustment  method
and  lens  positions,  refer  to  the  operating  instructions  of  the  lens
concerned.
Flange back adjustment
Coloring may occur in the vertical direction near the open setting of
the  lens  iris  even  when  the  white  shading  has  been  adjusted.    This
phenomenon  is  a  characteristic  inherent  to  lenses  and  optical
systems, and it is not indicative of a failure.
White shading adjustment
This  unit  enables  the  fixed  data  supporting  three  types  of  lens  and
the  data  supporting  any  desired  adjustments  to  be  used  for  white
shading  compensation.    This  data  can  be  selected  using  LENS
SHADING on the sub-menu (see page 35).
First,  check  that  the  type  of  lens  used  and  the  settings  match.    The
fixed data settings are as follows:
Type A:Data for S18 x 6.7BERM4 (etc.) lenses.
Type B:Data for YH18 x 6.7KRS (etc.) lenses.
Type C:Data for S14 x 7.3BRM lens.
If  the  lens  to  be  used  does  not  correspond  to  any  of  these  types,
proceed  to  adjust  the  white  shading  described  below  by  performing
menu operations.

1Shoot a piece of paper with no color unevenness.
2Set  the  lens  iris  to  manual,  and  adjust  it  so  that  a  zebra
pattern  fills  the  whole  screen.    Check  that  the  lens  iris  is
between f/4 and f/11.
≥Flicker tends to occur under fluorescent lights, mercury lamps
and  other  such  lighting  conditions.    Use  sunlight,  halogen
lamps or a light source which rarely give rises to flicker.
≥If there is unevenness in the lighting, the zebra pattern will no
longer  appear  on  some  parts  of  the  screen.    In  a  case  like
this, adjust the lighting position, etc.
≥Adjust  the  lighting  position,  etc.  also  when  the  lens  iris  is  not
between f/4 and f/11.
≥The electronic shutter must be left at the OFF setting.
3Adjust  the  white  balance  and  black
balance.
1Set  the  WHITE  BAL  selector  switch  to  A  or  B,  and  use  the
AUTO  W/B  BAL  switch  to  execute  the  automatic  white
balance adjustment (AWB).
2Use  the  AUTO  W/B  BAL  switch  to  execute  the  automatic
black balance adjustment (ABB).
3Once  again,  use  the  AUTO  W/B  BAL  switch  to  execute  the
automatic white balance adjustment (AWB).
1Mount the lens on the camera.
Do not forget to attach the lens cable.
2Set the electronic shutter to OFF and the gain to L (0 dB)
3If  the  lens  comes  with  an  extender,  disengage  the  extender
function.
