4. BASIC ADJUSTMENT BEFORE USE (Cont’d) WHITE SHADING ADJUSTMENT Green or magenta color appears on the top or bottom of the screen, this is because the white balance is adjusted at the center of the screen but not at the top or bottom of the screen. This is caused by the characteristics of a lens and to compensate it is called white shading compensation. 1. 2. 3.4. 6. After performing the WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT procedure 1. to 10., carry out the following settings.

7. OTHERS TECHNICAL INFORMATION 䡵 Normal (Field) Mode During normal recording, the CCD’s storage time is approx. 1/60 sec. [U Ver.] or 1/50 sec. [E Ver.] in the field mode. With the odd number fields, the total electric charge of the odd number lines and even number lines of the CCD are output to the odd number line (reading two lines at a time), with the even number field, they are output to the even number line.

7. OTHERS (Cont’d) TECHNICAL INFORMATION (Cont’d) 䡵 Operations Principles of the Electronic Shutter (with the 1/500 sec. setting) 䡵 SLOW SHUT Function This function is used to record an object brighter than it appears in a dark place. This function adopts a system which acquires higher electric charge by taking a longer time for storing electric charge into the CCD image device, not that the system increases GAIN electrically.
