Chapter 7 Maintenance and Inspections
7-1 Inspections Before Shooting
Make sure you check that the system is operating normally
before embarking on a shoot. We recommend using a color
video monitor to check the image.
7-1-1 Preparing for Inspections
1 Mount a charged battery pack.
2 Turn the power switch ON and check that 5 or more BATT
indication marks appear.
z If fewer than 5 BATT indication marks appear, replace the
battery with a fully-charged battery.
3 Insert a P2 card into the card slot and close the slide cover.
Confirm that the P2 card access LED for the inserted card
slot lights up in orange. If P2 cards are inserted into
multiple card slots, only the P2 card access LED for the
first-inserted P2 card lights up in orange. Then, the other
P2 card access LEDs light up in green when P2 cards are
inserted.
If the access LED for the P2 card slot in which a P2 card is
inserted keeps blinking in green, or if there is no display,
recording is not possible on that particular P2 card.
7-1-2 Inspecting the Camera Unit
1 Set the zoom to electric zoom mode and check the zoom
operation.
Check that the image changes to telephoto and wide angle.
2 Set the zoom to manual zoom mode and check the zoom
operation.
Turn the manual zoom lever to check that the image
changes to telephoto and wide angle.
3 Set the iris to automatic adjustment mode and aim the lens
at objects with different degrees of brightness, to check that
the automatic iris adjustment operates normally.
4 Set the iris to manual adjustment mode and turn the iris
ring, to check the manual iris adjustment.
5 While holding down the instant iris automatic adjustment
button, aim the lens at objects with different degrees of
brightness, to check that the instant iris automatic
adjustment operates properly.
6 Return the iris to automatic adjustment mode and change
the GAIN switch setting to L, M, and H, to check the
following items:
z The iris is adjusted for objects with the same brightness
according to the switch setting.
z The gain value displayed on the viewfinder screen
changes according to the switch setting.
7 When a lens with an extender is mounted, set the extender
to the operating position to check that the extender
operates properly.
