NIGHT SHOT... OFF 4. (OPTION) menu FOCUS... AUTO 5. (HOME) menu (SETTINGS) MOVIE SETTINGS DIGITAL ZOOM... OFF STEADY SHOT... OFF 6. (HOME) menu (SETTINGS) GENERAL SET DEMO MODE... OFF 2. Order of Adjustments Basically carry out adjustments in the order given. Color bar chart (Color reproduction adjustment frame) H Yellow Cyan Green White Magenta Red Blue C C = D = 0 D Electronic beam scanning frame Yellow Cyan Green White Magenta Red Blue CRT picture frame A B A=B B A Fig. a (VIDEO terminal of A/V jack output waveform) Enlargement V Fig. b (monitor TV picture) Difference in level B A Adjust the camera zoom and direction to obtain the output waveform shown in Fig. a and the monitor TV display shown in Fig. b. Fig Subjects 1) Color bar chart (Color reproduction adjustment frame) When performing adjustments using the color bar chart, adjust the picture frame as shown in Fig (Color reproduction adjustment frame) 2) Clear chart (AWB adjustment frame) Shoot the color bar chart. Then adjust the zoom to TELE side from WIDE side, and stop it when the black frame of the chart disappears. Remove the color bar chart from pattern box and insert a clear chart in its place. 3) Chart for flange back adjustment Join together a piece of white A0 size paper (1189 mm 841 mm) and a piece of black paper to make the chart shown in Fig Note: Use a non-reflecting and non-glazing vellum paper. The size must be A0 or larger and the joint between the white and black paper must not have any undulations. White Black 1189 mm Fig mm 6-4

6 Ver Setting Distance between Pattern Box and Camera Set the distance from the front of the lens to the pattern box as shown in Fig Pattern box L = 1 m (PTB-450) L = 40 cm (PTB-1450) Front of the lens L Camera Fig Precautions When Using Pattern Box 1) It takes about 30 minutes for pattern box to stabilize its brightness. Turn on the pattern box 30 minutes before the adjustment starts. 2) Make arrangement so that the outside light does not enter the chart surface in the pattern box. Also, place a board between chart and camera, and make a hole at the lens part of the board so that the camera is not reflected in the shot image screen. (Adjustment may not be performed correctly due to the influence of outside light.) Example 1: Place a box to block a section between pattern box and camera. Make the hole of the same size as the pattern box. Make the hole of the same size as the lens. Pattern box L = 1 m (PTB-450) L = 40 cm (PTB-1450) L Front of the lens Camera Example 2: Place a board having a hole in front of the camera and cover the pattern box and camera with a blackout curtain Cover with a blackout curtain Board that opens hole to lens part Pattern box L = 1 m (PTB-450) L = 40 cm (PTB-1450) Front of the lens L Camera 3) Control of color chart The color chart will fade if it is exposed to direct sunlight or strong light. Since the fading of color chart progresses even with the light in the pattern box, remove and store the color chart when it is not used. Remove the color chart and store it. Store the color chart in a place not exposed to direct light, avoiding high temperature and humidity. Use the color chart for about three years, and afterward replace it with a new chart. 6-5

8 Ver ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM The HDR-SR11/SR11E/SR12/SR12E are adjusted by the Automatic Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program enters automatically via the SeusEX the adjustment operations that were formerly entered manually by the adjustment remote commander (some items may be adjusted by manual operation on the operation screen of the SeusEX). 1. Precautions When Using Automatic Adjustment Program 1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment results such as EVR data to the set through two-way communication with the camcorder via the SeusEX. Accordingly, the Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment where the SeusEX operates. 2) The Automatic Adjustment Program cannot be used when the SEUS or the SeusCam is running. Exit the SEUS or the SeusCam before using the Automatic Adjustment Program. 3) The SeusEX must be already started on the PC when using the Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SeusEX not started, some adjustment items will take time in adjustment. 4) The program run time may vary depending on the environment of the personal computer used. 2. Start of Automatic Adjustment Program Double-click the application file (HDR-SR11 Series Auto-Adj Ver_1.2r03.exe), and the Automatic Adjustment Program will start. 3. Function of Each Button on Main Menu Screen When the Automatic Adjustment Program started, the Main Menu screen in Fig will appear. On this screen, select each adjustment section. qs Fig [Connecting the Equipment] button A connection diagram of the equipment is displayed. 2 [CONNECT] button The mode of Camcorder is switched to the Adjustment Mode. When the Adjustment Mode has switched normally, the operation of the buttons 4 - qa is enabled. qd 1 2 q; qa 3 3 [END] button The mode of Camcorder is switched to the normal mode.
