@ POWER switch
This powers the camera on and off. There are two
different ON settings as follows.
ON STBY: This puts the VTR on standby. In this
state, pressing the VTR button on the camera head,
the lens or a camera adaptor starts recording
immediately.
ON SAVE: This puts the VTR in the power-saving
state, with the video head drum stationary. In this
state, it takes a few seconds to start recording after
pressing the VTR button.
The VTR state when this switch is in the ON STBY or
@ EZ (“easy”) MODE switch
Set this switch to the ON position when you want to be
able to shoot immediately, with automatic adjustment
of the camera settings to standard values. (See page
40.) When this function is used, the iris and the white
balance are adjusted automatically. Moving this
switch to the OFF position returns the camera to the
previous settings.
@ EZ FOCUS button
Press this button to tum the “easy focus” function on.
This opens the iris, to make it easier to focus before
beginning shooting. The indication “EZ FOCUS”
appears in the viewfinder while the function is on; to
turn it off, press the EZ FOCUS button again. If left
on, the function automatically turns off after about ten
seconds.
If the “easy focus” function is still on when you press
the VTR button, it turns off automatically and
Tecording starts about one second later.
ON SAVE position may depend on the VTR model.

screw up, then tighten it.

@ WHITE BAL (white balance) switch
This selects the white balance setting from the preset
value, the value in memory A or the value in memory
B. (See page 43.)
@ OUTPUT/DCC (dynamic contrast control)
switch
This switch turns the dynamic contrast control function
on and off, and also provides for color bar output.
CAM/DCC ON: This enables the dynamic contrast
control function, which prevents highlight burnout
when shooting a high-intensity subject. In this
position, setting “DCC+” to ON in the advanced
menus allows you to use the DCC+ function. (See
page 40.) Normally leave the switch in this
position.
CAM/DCC OFF: This disables the dynamic contrast
control function. (The contrast gradation in image
portions where the video output level does not
exceed 100% is correctly maintained.)
BARS/DCC OFF: This outputs a color bar signal.
@ GAIN switch
This selects one of the three gain settings, high,
medium or low, You can choose the gain values
assigned to the H, M and L settings from values from
—3 dB to 24.dB. (See page 38.) The factory default
selections are 18 dB (H), 9 dB (M) and 0 dB (L).
When the HYPER GAIN switch is in the ON position,
the GAIN switch has no effect.
@® Breaker switch
If there is a fault in the camera power supply, the
breaker trips, and the camera power supply is
disconnected. Correct the fault in the power supply,
then press this switch.
@ REC (recording) TIME switch
This selects the recording time indication in the
viewfinder.
TTL: Displays the total recording time.
The total recording time is not reset even when you
stop the VTR and power off the camera, for
example, to replace the battery pack.
The total recording time is reset if you power off
the camera while the VTR is recording.
