JVC KY-D29 - Precautions Handling Precautions

1. INTRODUCTION
PRECAUTIONS HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Supply Voltage
Make sure that the power is between 10.5V and 15.0V DC. If
the power voltage is too low, abnormal color and increased
noise may occur.
Do not exceed 15.0V DC in any case, or the unit could be
damaged.
Precautions before carrying the camera
Be careful not to subject the camera to a strong impact or to
drop it. Be sure to hold the camera by the carrying handle. Do
not hold the lens or the viewfinder section as this may cause
damage to these parts.
eSpecific phenomena to CCD
Smear and blooming
When a CCD picks up the image of a light source with a high
brightness, white stripes may be observed vertically above or
below the light source (smear) or the light may seem to blur
around the light source in the case when this is extremely
bright (blooming).
This camera uses CCDs which provide extremely reduced
smear and blooming features, but care against these phe-
nomena is still required when shooting a very bright light
source.
Smear
Vertical, pale stripes are
observed.
High-brightness object
(Electric lamp, sun, etc.)
Blooming
Bright section looks like
blurring.
Monitor screen
eFold-back distortion
A stripe pattern or line may look as if it is zigzagging.
White spot
White spots may be observed on the screen when the CCDs
are used under high temperatures.
To conserve power, switch the power off when the cam-
era is not in use.
Ambient temperatures
Please observe the operating temperature range (-5°C to
+45°C) specified in “Specifications” on page 53. Be careful
not to operate the camera at above the operating tempera-
ture range, for this may result in malfunction and affect the
CCDs seriously, causing a phenomenon in which white spots
are observed on the screen.
einfluence of strong radio and magnetic waves when the cam-
era is used near a radio or television transmission antenna or
in a place subject to strong magnetism from a transformer,
motor, etc., the camera may be interfered with and noise oc-
cur or the colors may be altered.
eUse of a wireless microphone near the camera
Be careful when using a wireless microphone and receiver
near the camera during shooting, for this may cause the noise
from the camera to interfere with the wireless microphone re-
ceiver.
©430 MHz band interference noise may occur when using
a condenser microphone.
Caution on interference to the reception of radio and tel-
evision receivers.
When the camera is used in a general household situation, it
may cause interference in the reception of the radio and tel-
evision receivers in the home . Be sure to use the camera at
a suitable distance from these kinds of equipment.
e Battery backup
The date, time and accumulated recording time data is backed
up by the lithium battery in the camera head. When the data
is no longer able to be backed up, it may mean that the lithium
battery has to be replaced : please consult your local JVC-
authorized service dealer.
Accumulated recording time display
The accumulative recording time of this unit should be used
Strictly as a guide.
© Setup level
The video signal of this camera is factory-set with a setup
level. If you want to delete the setup, please consult your lo-
cal JVC-authorized service dealer.
e Connection of other equipment
Be sure to turn the power switches of this unit and the con-
nected equipment to OFF before connecting them.
If they are interconnected while the power switches are in the
ON positions, it would not be possible to turn power ON nor-
mally later.
© Connection of remote control unit
When connected with the remote control unit, the iris of the
lens is forcefully controlled from the remote control unit, disa-
bling the manual control of the iris.
If you want to control the lens iris manually or to use a lens
remote control unit, the internal switch position has to be
changed. Consult with your local JVC authorized service dealer
when this occurs.
© The camera may be unstable in the period immediately
after the power is turned on, but this is not a malfunc-
tion.
