LEVEL

Connect the camera according to the connection method, turn it on, display an image on the monitor, and check the image. The camera has been factory-adjusted to the best position, but it may need to be adjusted according to the object conditions or combination of lenses. If the image is unnatural, adjust it as follows: � LEVEL adjustment Monitor screen LEVEL turning direction Too bright Counterclockwise (Toward L) Too dark Clockwise (Toward H) ALC turning direction Clockwise (Toward Pk) Counterclockwise (Toward Av) � ALC adjustment Monitor screen Part (high-intensity part) of the screen halates. Other part of screen (except high-intensity part) darkens.

� If the sensitivity adjustment LEVEL is turned excessively to L, the sensitivity increases because of the AGC function of the camera, and the image looks grainy. � If the video iris lens is set to too low a level, malfunction such as the hunting phenomenon, in which the iris opens or closes unintentionally, may occur. In such a case, first set LEVEL potentiometer on the lens to the H (iris open) position then adjust it to the optimum level. The back focus has been adjusted to the best point for CS-mount lens, but it may need to be re-adjusted if the mount is changed to the C-mount or if a different lens is used. If required, adjust it as follows: � With a fixed-focus lens If the focus can not be adjusted correctly by rotating the lens focus ring, adjust the back focus as follows. 1. Loosen the back focus locking screw by turning it counterclocckwise ( ) with a screwdriver. 2. Shoot a pattern closely. 3. Turn the lens focus ring to �. 4. Turn the back focus adjustment ring to focus at the best point. 5. Tighten the back focus locking screw by turning it clockwise ( ). � With a zoom lens If the image is out of focus when zooming (telephoto wide-angle), adjust the camera as follows: 1. Loosen the back focus locking screw by turning it counterclocckwise ( ) with a screwdriver. 2. Shoot a comparatively dark scene with thin lines. 3. Set the lens to the maximum telephoto position, and adjust the lens focus. 4. Set the lens to the maximum wide-angle position, and turn the back focus ring to adjust the focus. (Repeat steps 2 and 3 two or three times.) 5. Tighten the back focus locking screw by turning it clockwise ( ).

SETTING SWITCH

�I

To set the camera in LL mode for synchronization with the power supply frequency, take the following steps: 1. Turn switch r to �LL�; 2. Press the + or � button w to make the phase variable. Adjust with the button w so that the vertical phase of the camera matches the vertical phase of another camera (or system) with a multi-channel oscilloscope. For the initial setting, press the + and � buttons w together. TK-C720TPU: 60Hz power region only TK-C720TPE: 50Hz power region only

White Balance

J [: mm]
U1-32 50 123 115

White balance can be adjusted within the scope of 2900 K to 8000 K color temperature. When switch t is at ATW (Auto-Tracking White Balance), the white balance is automatically adjusted according to the color temperature of the ambient illumination. When the white balance is set to AWB (Auto White Balance), press and hold the SET button q for 2 seconds to adjust or readjust the white balance. Once the white balance is adjusted, the setting will not track changes in the color temperature of the ambient illumination.

BLC (Back Light Compensation)
The switch y improves an image that is darkened because of backlighting. Set this switch to ON for backlight subjects.

AES (Automatic Electronic Shutter)
Turning this switch u "ON" when a lens with a manual iris diaphragm is used enables the automatic adjustment of image brightness. In this case the shutter speed changes according to the brightness of the subject. AES functions only when AGC switch i is turned on. Hunting may occur at a certain object brightness due to the mechanism of the AES circuit, but this is not a fault.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
The switch i automatically increases the camera�s sensitivity when the level of ambient light drops. ON: AGC is activated. OFF: AGC is not activated.
