Checking the Mirror Shutter Setting
The mirror shutter setting can also be checked with the
lens attached.
In Standby depress the PHASE key and keep de-
pressed - the angle symbol appears on the display.
After approx. 2 seconds the set shutter angle will be
displayed in the upper line.
Synchronizing on the Video Monitor
With the new synchronization function the camera can
by synchronized by hand on a monitor or a television.
To film from a quartz-stabilized monitor, the frame
speed and the phase of the camera must be aligned to
the camera.
Through the external synchronization unit ESU-1 the
camera can also automatically be synchronized on a
video monitor (see the technical information sheet ESU-1).
Fine-Tuning the Frame Speed
Frame speed can be finely tuned when the magazine is
removed.
In Standby, set the programmable speed to half the
rated frequency on the monitor.
Set the sliding switch to PS/CCU.
Start the camera.
Switch the MODE key on the display to mode 2
(programmable speed).
If the camera is running change the speed with the
SEL key (to decrease speed) and the SET key (to
increase speed) until the bar on the monitor in the
picture area no longer wanders.
Shifting Phase
Shifting phase is effective only for the current take and
should therefore be done again every time the camera
is started.
Start the camera.
Hold the PHASE key depressed until the bar on the
monitor has disappeared from the picture area.
