DUR: Displays the recording time of the current cut.
OFF/TC: Switches off the recording time display.
If, however, a PV V-3/3P is connected, and in the
advanced menus you set the time code display item
(TC IND) to ON (see page 42), then the VTR time
data (time code, CTL count, or user bit value) is
displayed.
The recording time displayed when this switch is set to
the TTL or DUR position is obtained by counting the
duration of the tally signal input to the camera.
The value may not agree exactly with the value
derived from the time code values. Furthermore, the
value displayed may not be correct when another
manufacturer’s VTR is connected to the camera.
® TTL (total) RESET button
Pressing this button resets the total recording time
(TTL selection) to zero.
@ MATRIX switch
This switch selects the color matrix setting to change
the picture color adjustment.
H.SAT: Colors are emphasized.
FL: Colors appear normal even when shooting under
fluorescent lighting.
STD: The color matrix in standard setting is used.
Normally leave the switch in this position.
@ HYPER GAIN switch
Setting this switch to the ON position increases the
gain by a factor of about 60 with respect to 0 dB (a 30
dB increase by electronic amplification and a 6 dB
increase for DPR, bringing about a total gain increase
of 36 dB).
When this switch is in the ON position, the indication
“HYPER” appears in the viewfinder, and the GAIN
UP indicator in the viewfinder also lights.
When finished shooting, return this switch to the OFF
position. The “HYPER” indication disappears and the
GAIN UP indicator goes off.
Increasing the gain with this switch reduces the
horizontal resolution by 50%.
@ ZEBRA switch
Set this switch to the ON position to display a zebra
pattern (diagonal stripes) in the viewfinder.
Depending on the zebra level setting in the advanced
menus (see page 40) the zebra pattern appears in
portions with a video output level of either 65% to
75% or 100% and above.
@ MIC LOW CUT switch
Set this switch to the ON position to insert a high-pass
filter in the microphone circuit, reducing wind noise.
Normally leave the switch in the OFF position.
® CLOCK SET button
This is used when setting the internal clock. (See page
48.)
@ CLOCK switch
This selects the clock indication in the viewfinder as
well as the camera video output.
ON: The date and time appear.
BARS: The date and time appear only when
displaying the color bars.
OFF: The date and time do not appear.
This switch is also used when setting the internal clock
and for recording the date and time. (See page 48.)
@ MARKER switch
Set this switch to the ON position to display the center
marker and/or safety zone, as selected in the advanced
menus (see page 40).
