optional extension camera cable (7 meters) as necessary. 3-2 Camera control unit (front panel) SHUTTER WHITE BALANCE AGC POWER CAMERA (1)"POWER" A power on/off switch. When power is turned on, the pilot lamp on the power switch will light. (2)"AGC" AGC ON/OFF switch. The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) switch is to increase sensitivity electrically in low-light situations. Set "AGC" switch to "ON" when illuminationis not sufficient on the subject. Normally, put it "OFF" position. (3)"WHITE BALANCE" The picture taken with a camera is sometimes adversely influenced by the quality of the light illuminating the subject. To obtain fine color images, it is necessary to adjust color balance (white balance) in the camera's video circuit depending on the quality, or color temperature, available from such illuminating sources, e,g. morning, midday, evening, and fluorescent lamp. When making adjustment on "WHITE BALANCE", select any one of "AUTO SET"/"AUTO"/"MANU". - 4 -

* "AUTO" (Automatic follow-up system)

The purpose of this white balance of "AUTO" is for a TV monitoring system, which installed to shoot a scenery with wide angle. This automatic white balance adjust- ment is performed by the detection of the average picture levels of red(R), green(G), and blue(B) signals picked up from the subject while they are balanced. Under the proper condition, this incorporated function is automatically compensated and follows up the white balance for color temperature even when the camera is panned during shooting, changed the color temperature of a light source or changed ambient condition while "AUTO" position. However, this control system is not always perfect, for example, under a fluorescent light or when shooting and closing up a subject with large colored area, this control system cannot work properly and also cannot obtain good color-imetry (color reproduction). The purpose of the "AUTO" position is for TV monitoring system for a scenery with a wide angle. If white balance adjustment is not possible, use "AUTO SET" position. * "AUTO SET" (Data holding) Turning to "AUTO SET" after adjusted the white balance for one or two seconds at "AUTO" position taking white subject, e.g. white wall or white paper, the data of the white balance will be held. And the white balance is not change anything even if changed the illumination on subject and the data will be held for about 5 hours backing up the data. Normally, set it "AUTO SET" position. If you shoot more than 5 hours after the last white adjustment, or when lighting conditions change, re-perform white balance adjustment. - 5 -

* "MANU" (Manual)

Turning to "MANU" position, take a white object such as a white paper or white wall all over the screen and adjust the white balance with the knobs of (R) and (B) while watching the color monitor. For more information on color temperature and white balance, refer to the supplemental informations of pages 13 and 14. (4)"SHUTTER" (Electronic shutter) Switches for an electronic shutter. The camera incorporates an electronic shutter with a variable speed function ranging from 1/50 to 1/10,000th seconds, allow ing of a subject moving at a high speed. Usually, put "OFF" position at the left side, which is set a shutter speed of 1/50 sec. When required electronic shutter, put it "ON" position and select any of "F.L"/ "AUTO"/"MANU" on the camera control unit. * "F.L" (Flickerless) Where the illumination of fluorescent lamps are used in the power frequency area of 60 Hz, a flicker may appear on the picture. And if turned to "F.L" position, it will be set the shutter speed 1/120 sec., resulting in decrease the flicker on the picture. * "AUTO" (Automatic Sensitivity Control) This camera is provided with an automatic sensitivity control which adjusts the shutter speed according to the amount of light entering the lens so that correct exposure is obtained even when illumination of the object changes. Fixed shutter and manual control are also possible. * "MANU" (Manual) When a subject moving at high speed is shot by the camera, put it "MANU" position. And select any one of shutter speeds of 1/50, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2,000, 1/4,000, 1/10,000 sec. as necessary. - 6 -

(1) "Color temperature"

Light is composed of various color components in differ- ent proportions. A relationship exists between tempera- ture of a light source and the components of the emitted light; as the temperature rises, the color of light varies from red, orange, yellow, white to blue in that order. "Color temperature" is a value that expresses differences in color among light sources, measured in Kelvin degrees. Bluish light has a higher color temperature than reddish light. (2) "White balance" Making the colors look natural on TV monitor is what white balance is all about. Because a camera is not as adaptable as the human eye, if a light source is reddish, white subjects in that light are recorded as reddish. White balance adjustment is performed to compensate for color temperature variations of light so that whites are reproduced as white. Correct white balance makes all other colors correct. The CS6100P can perform automatic white balance adjust- ment with just the press of a switch. However, if illumination is insufficient, white balance adjustment cannot be performed. To obtain correct colors, therefore, sufficient illumination is essential. (3) How to get good color pictures. The simplest way is to provide sufficient lighting(close to the camera's reference illuminance) and accurately adjust the camera to the color temperature of that lighting. If light sources of different color temperatures are used together, accurate white balance adjustment is very difficult. For example, if natural light is mixed with some artificial light, which is likely to occur next to windows, correct colors of the subject are difficult to obtain. It is recommended that incandescent or halogen lamps not be used together with flourescent lighting. - 13 -

This device ithe product of the latest semiconductor technology. Minute pixels of 400,000(active pixel consists of 752 X 582) or so are integrated in ultra high density on the small area of 4.8mm(H)X 3.6mm(V) by utilizing sophiscated semi- conductor technology. As shown in Figure four comple- mentary color filters of yellow(Ye), cyan(Cy), magenta (M), and green(G) are placed precisely one on top of another in a zigzag manner on one picture element so that color analysis of the subject can be made and fundemental color signals of red(R), blue(B) and green(G) are picked out in the color demodulation circuit. Disposition of color analysis filter on CCD - 14 - Mg: Magneta G : Green Cy: Cyan Ye: Yellow

When the strong light hits the CCD image sensor, the

image of bands in vertical direction may appear above and under the spot. This is called smear. Especially if the camera shoots under the noon sun or its reflections, a candlelight in the dark, or headlights of cars, this smears may stand out in the picture. The CCD used with the CS6100P is designed against the smear. However, watch out for smear when shooting involves a strong light sources. (7) ASC (Automatic Sensitivity Control) and AGC (Automatic Gain Control) When a camera is directed toward a subject, the most proper combination of shutter speed and lens aperture is automatically determined in accordance with the bright- ness of the subject. This is the program AE (Automatic Exposure) mechanism incorporated in an ordinary 35mm still camera. Meanwhile, just like in a 35mm camera, the program AE mechanism housed in the video camera automatically selects the speed of the electronic shutter depending on the lighting. Simultaneously, the amplifier gain in the camera instead of the lens aperture (iris) value is likewise automatically adjusted according to the pre-selected shutter speed to obtain the most appropriate video signal level. (8) Lenses Generally, there are many kind of lenses for the video camera on the market, forexample, different aperture (iris), different focal distance, zoom lenses and so on. Those having a shorter focal distance are called "wide- angle" lenses, and those having a longer focal distance are called "telephoto". Lenses of different focal distances have specialcharacteristics and you can take advantage of these in shooting. When the camera is fitted with a zoom lens,it is extremely easy to vary the focal distance. Anyhow, make choice of the most appropriate lens for your application or system. - 15 -
