INTRODUCTION Operating Precautions ● To save energy, when it is not being used turn the system’s power off. ● This camera has been designed for indoor use. When you use it outdoors, be sure to use an appropriate housing. ● Do not install or use the camera in the following places. • In a place exposed to rain or moisture. • In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in a kitchen. • When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the acceptable range (from –10°C to 50°C).
INTRODUCTION Operating Precautions (continued) ● The white balance (ATW) of this device is optimally set for sunlight. Proper white balance may not be achieved for artificial lighting such as fluorescent lighting, etc. ● If you use this camera in locations where the camera is exposed to fluorescent light, a slow color change may occur. (White balance normal = 5,400 K, range is 2,500 K to 10,000 K.) ● AGC HIGH(×2) and up: in this mode, ATW white balance may be inaccurate.
● Blemishes: Small spots are normal, the camera contains compensation functions for blemishes above 120 mV (p-p) in value. Please contact your JVC authorised dealer for further information. ● For temperatures higher than the recommended temperature, the slow shutter may not work correctly.

If the image is unnatural, adjust it as follows: (Also read the instruction manual of the lens.
• LEVEL adjustment Monitor screen Too bright Too dark LEVEL turning direction Counterclockwise (Toward L) Clockwise (Toward H) Memo ● 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. ● At Low light levels, video iris lens may “Hunt”. Please adjust iris level on lens to minimise hunting.
CONNECTION/INSTALLATION Back focus adjustment Be sure to make back-focus adjustments when changing the lens mounting method or using a different lens. ● To make accurate back focus adjustments, carry out adjustments in a state where the lens iris is released. To open the lens iris, set MODE in the FOCUS ADJUST menu screen to ON. (墌 Page 27) ● The auto iris lens may operate under extremely bright conditions (7000lx or higher). In this case, use an ND filter to adjust the amount of light.
