IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
INFORMATION (FOR CANADA) RENSEIGNEMENT (POUR LE CANADA)  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  
1. Read all of these instructions.  
2. Save these instructions for later use.  
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.  
3. All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.  
4. Unplug this appliance system from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
5. Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.  
6. Do not use this appliance near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet  
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.  
PRECAUTIONS  
If an AGC switch is turned on, the sensitivity increases automatically in dark places. It is not a  
failure when the image looks grainy.  
If a zoom lens is used, check the back focus before mounting the camera. This also applies to  
lens ALC and LEVEL. (See the instructions on lenses for details.)  
7. Do not place this appliance on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The appliance may fall,  
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance may fall,  
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.  
Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.  
Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting  
kit approved by the manufacturer.  
PORTABLE CART WARNING  
(symbol provided by RETAC)  
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have vertical  
lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery (especially inAES mode). This is a characteristic  
of the CCD, and is not a defect.  
If an EE lens is used, set the automatic electronic shutter switch (AES) to OFF. If set to ON,  
flickering may occur. If a manual iris lens is used, set the AES to ON.  
When used in hot places, vertical lines may appear on the screen of this camera. This is a  
characteristic of the CCD and not a failure of the camera.  
The automatic tracking system may not function properly when shooting with non-standard  
lighting or lighting with a color temperature which exceeds the capability of the camera. In such  
a case, set to the MANUposition.  
If the camera subject is a single solid color (other than white), the auto white circuit will normally  
attempt to change this color to white. In the case of this camera, if it cannot make a correct  
prediction, the previous white balance setting will be maintained until the subject colors become  
more varied.  
Where there are strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism, for example near a radio or TV  
transmitter, transformer, motor, etc., the picture may contain noise and the colors may be incorrect.  
Beware of the instruction of noise when installing the twisted pair cable that is used as a  
connection.  
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive  
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.  
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to  
insure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, these openings  
S3126A  
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa,  
rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This  
appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.  
9. This appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are  
not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For appliance  
designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.  
10. This appliance system is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This  
plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into  
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding  
plug.  
11. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long  
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent  
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
12. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this appliance where the cord will be abused by  
persons walking on it.  
To save energy, be sure to turn off the system when not in use.  
MOUNTING A LENS  
1. Before mounting a lens, check whether it is a C-mount or CS-mount lens.  
If a C-Mount lens is used, loosen the back-focus locking screw (M 2.6) using a Phillips  
head screwdriver, turn the back-focus adjusting ring with your fingers or the screw-  
driver and change the mounting method.  
13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the appliance.

points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.  
16. Do not attempt to service this appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
2. Dimension (b) of the lens shown in the illustration must be as shown in the table  
below. If (b) exceeds the value in the table, it may damage the inside of the camera  
or correct mounting may be impossible; never use such lenses. Do not attach the C- B  
mount lens when using a CS-mount.

checks to determine that the appliance is in safe operating condition.  
3. Mount the lens on the camera by turning the lens clockwise. Adjust its position.  
4. When using an auto-iris lens with an EE amplifier, turn the switch to the VIDEOC  
side. When no EE amplifier is equipped, turn the switch to the DCside.  
5. If the lens has an auto-iris mechanism, connect the lens cable after checking the pin  
arrangement.  
If the lens cable has a different type of plug, use the 4PIN PLUG supplied.
