OPERATING VERSATILITY
Built-in Optical ND Filter
and Electronic CC Function
The DXC-D55/D55WS Series
provides optimum light and color
temperature control by using a built-
in optical ND (Neutral Density) filter
wheel and electronic CC (Color
Correction) function. The use of
electronic color correction allows all
filters in the filter wheel to be of the
ND type, providing the operator
with great flexibility in depth-of-field
and exposure control. Electronic
color correction can also be
controlled using a remote controller,
for even easier operation.

The DXC-D55/D55WS* is equipped
with the DXF-801 1.5-inch** 4:3
monochrome viewfinder as
standard. The DXF-20W 2.0-inch**

available as an option. Furthermore,
for studio operations, the wider
DXF-51 5.0-inch** monochrome
viewfinder can be mounted on the

Enhanced Ease of
Operation
Recognizing the importance of
making camera operation as quick
and straightforward as possible,
DXC-D55/D55WS cameras provide
several convenient functions
enabling operators to start
shooting with minimum setup
procedures, and in less time.
EZ Focus
The EZ Focus function allows
accurate focus adjustments without
manually opening the lens iris.
Simply by pushing the EZ Focus
button, the iris automatically opens
to reduce the depth of field and
make focusing significantly easier.
At the same time, the electronic
shutter is automatically set to obtain
the correct exposure.
EZ Mode
Settings for key camera parameters
are instantly set to the standard or
auto position simply by pressing the
EZ Mode button – making the
camera instantly ready for shooting.
This feature is very convenient when
operators require fast camera setup.
Auto-Tracing White Balance
(ATW)
The DXC-D55/D55WS camera
features a convenient Auto Tracing
White Balance (ATW) function,
which automatically adjusts white
balance as lighting conditions
change. This function is very useful
when shooting in rapidly changing
lighting conditions, such as when
moving from indoor to outdoor
locations.
