Controls and Their Functions
Shooting (Recording)/Playback Function Section (4)
∑ VTR START button
When this pressed, recording commences; when it is pressed again, recording stops. This
button has the same function as the VTR button on the lens side.
∏ VTR SAVE/STBY (tape protection) switch
This selects the power supply status while the VTR recording is temporarily stopped (REC
PAUSE).
SAVE: This is the tape protection mode. The cylinder is stopped in the half-loading status.
Compared with the STBY position, less power is consumed and the unit can be
operated longer using the battery. It takes longer for recording to commence after
the VTR START button ∑ is pressed in the SAVE position than in the STBY po-
sition.
When the switch is set to this position, the VTR SAVE lamp inside the viewfinder
lights.
STBY: Recording commences immediately when the VTR START button is pressed.
π MODE CHECK button
While this button is kept depressed, the camera’s setting status is displayed in the viewfinder.
It does not affect the camera’s output signals.
∫ SUPER GAIN button (inside sliding cover)
Press this button to forcibly establish the super gain mode. Each time it is pressed, the gain
is set in succession to 30 dB and OFF. When 30 dB is allotted to the SUPER GAIN button,
DTL and other menu settings cannot be performed.
ª SUPER IRIS button
This is used when backlight compensation is to be provided. When it is pressed, the switch
settings are displayed inside the viewfinder for 3 seconds. When it is pressed again, back-
light compensation is released.
