1 Press the BARS button.
The camera outputs the color bar signal to the
monitor.
2 Set the monitor for monocolor mode for blue.
3 Adjust the chroma and phase controls on the monitor
so that all four blue bars are at the same brightness
level.
4 Reset the monitor for normal (triplecolor) mode.
5 Press the BARS button again.
The picture on the screen switches from color bars to
that the camera is taking.
© The iris of the lens is automatically closed when the
camera begins to output the color bar signal, and
remains so until when the camera stops outputting
that signal. If you were manually controlling the
lens iris before pressing the BARS button in step 1,
you need to reopen it after the video monitor
adjustment because it otherwise will remain closed.
