Introduction
The AJ-HDC27H is a camera-recorder that supports
the SMPTE-296M 1280a720 scanning standard.
Integrated in this single unit are an HD color video
camera featuring a 1-million pixel IT-CCD unit with on-
chip lens as the pickup device, and a DVCPRO HD
format VTR incorporating the latest compression
technology.
The camera unit supports a variable frame function
and film tone gamma function, and it also supports the
Ultra Prime lenses for 35 mm film cameras as a
standard feature.
Featuring a 100 Mbps recording rate for the VTR as
well, this unit is capable of recording images with an
extremely high picture quality to achieve the highest
performance and most sophisticated functions as an
integrated camera-recorder for electronic field
production (EFP) applications.
Furthermore, it is compact and lightweight, has low
power consumption, and excels in achieving a high
level of picture quality, sensitivity, and mobility, and is
extremely dust-proof and moisture-proof. These are
all attributes which enable the unit to be used for
electronic news gathering (ENG) applications as well.
Since digital signal processing is provided in both the
camera unit and VTR unit, the picture quality is further
improved while the unit’s stability is also enhanced.
SD memory cards meeting global standards can be
used for the camera and VTR setting data as part of a
system which can accomplish data management.
Features
Features of the camera unit
The camera unit of the AJ-HDC27H has the
following features.
OHigh sensitivity: 2000 lx, F11, 24P mode, shutter
Film tone gamma function
In the beginning, the first and foremost aspect defining
the manifold powers of expression that only the
medium of film could achieve was the extent of a
film’s latitude (reproduction range). What Panasonic
did was to use its resources to develop an exclusive
gamma curve for reproducing film tones by means of
the CCDs, and this led to the capability of expressing
natural gradations and reproducing a rich variety of
colors—something that was beyond the means of
speed set to 50% of frame rate
OFrame rate: 4 fps (frame/sec.) to 60 fps
OHigh signal-to-noise ratio: 54 dB (standard)
OLow smear
OLow flare
OScan reverse
OSwitchable frame frequency: 59.94 Hz or 60.00 Hz
O12-bit analog-to-digital converter incorporated
OTwo HD SDI output lines
conventional video cameras.
The AJ-HDC27H
incorporates a total of three gamma curves—two cine
curves (for films/for videos) and the conventional
video gamma curve—and it enables the curve that
best suits the application at hand to be selected. The
powers of expression achieved as a result are
comparable to those provided by film. The high
sensitivity that is simply superior to film cameras
delivers an excellent balance between brightness and
high picture quality: indeed, the kind of sensitivity that
corresponds to ISO640 enables shooting with the
same kind of feel as ultra-fine-grain films.
When the conventional video gamma curve is to be
used, set the unit to the video mode using the CAM
MENU SEL item on the OPTION screen of FILM
(CAM) MAIN MENU 4.
When one of the cine curves is to be used, set the unit
to the film mode using the CAM MENU SEL item on
the OPTION screen of FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 4,
and then select the desired curve by setting the CINE
GAMMA SEL item on the GAMMA screen of FILM
MAIN MENU 1.
Variable frame rate
Frame-drop (under-cranking) shooting and high-speed
(over-cranking) shooting, which are special film
shooting techniques, have been achieved for the first
time in a video camera.
The variable frame rate function can be set as desired
from 4 fps (frame/sec.) to 60 fps.
The shutter speed can also be set from 0.8% of the
frame rate (aperture angle: 3 degrees) to 97.2%
(aperture angle: 350 degrees), enabling full use to be
made of many different presentation techniques.
Along with continually recording at 60 fps, the VTR
unit enables specific effective frames alone to be
marked with time codes so that off-line editing using a
conventional DVCPRO HD VTR is possible. This
makes it possible to construct a 24 fps production
system with minimal equipment investment.

Features (continued)
Features of the camera unit
Prime lens mode
Camera unit equipped to capture a wide range of
image creation activities from cinema production
to broadcasting applications
Not only the lens that does justice to the sensitivity
equivalent to a film but also the various devices and
equipment that are peripheral to the camera combine to
play roles which are so critical that they cannot be
divorced from the technical skills of the person operating
the camera. Using an HD lens adapter made by
Angenieux, this unit supports the ultra-prime lenses used
for film cameras as a standard feature. What’s more,
Panasonic has achieved an industry first by incorporating
as a standard feature, a scan reverse function, which
cancels out image reversal occurring when the adapter is
used, and switching can be easily accomplished by a
menu setting.
The unit also supports slide bases, matte boxes and
other film camera equipment which users may have been
using for years.
A full range of long viewfinders, small LCD monitors and
other options available from related manufacturers is
available, and the maximum can be derived from formats
ranging from films to HD with the same ease afforded by
simply changing the main camera unit.
OA sensitivity of F11 (2000 lx) achieved by the three
highly sensitive CCDs.
The minimum subject brightness is 0.7 lx.
OGamma curves (switchable) for reproducing film
tones.
ONot only a natural choice like 24 fps (frame/sec.) for
films but also any number of shooting frames from
4 fps to 60 fps can be set.
ODigital setup for controlling image production using
numerical values and for simple operation using the
jog dial and gradation menu.
OCinema image menu provided for film producers.
OSetup data in up to 8 files can be stored on an SD
memory card.
OBuilt-in high picture quality circuits including auto
knee, many different detail functions, shading
compensation, 12-axis color compensation circuit
and masking circuit.
OBuilt-in 2-level zebra pattern and spot zebra
functions.
O3 values among the 10 possible settings from –6 dB
(–3 dB in film mode) to +30 dB allocated to the gain
selector; also, the gain can be increased up to +36
dB by the super gain function.
OThe following functions can be allocated to the
USER1 and USER2 buttons: super iris, super gain,
super black, black stretch, audio CH1/CH2 input
front/rear switching, recording start/stop, return
switch, and Y GET (output luminance level
measurement), frame rate switching.
Film user menu
Panasonic does its best to cater to film camera users not
only on the functions and performance front but also in
terms of operation.
For instance, it has provided a cinema image menu
(FILM USER MENU) which brings together on one page
the setting items that are frequently used in location
cinema shooting.
Along with the gamma curve selection and scan reverse
ON/OFF functions, the settings for the hard and soft
texture adjustments, gradation settings for the shadow
areas, latitude adjustments, and tungsten lighting
(3200K) type or daylight (5600K) type can be selected
just like with films on one menu screen.
OAn electronic shutter with a variable function
0.8% to 97.2% of the frame rate (aperture angle of 3.0 to
350.0 degrees)
over and above the 6 shutter speeds.
Digital signal processing
1/100 , 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 and 1/2000 sec.
(or 180.0, 172.8, 144.0, 120.0, 90.0 and 45.0 deg)
Analog signals are converted into digital signals through
12-bit A/D conversion at a sampling frequency of
74.1758 MHz (59.94 Hz)/74.25 MHz (60.0Hz).
This processing not only enhances the picture quality,
stability and reliability but it also enables the viewfinder
screen displays and many of the adjustment and setup
items to be configured in a menu-driven format.
OTungsten lighting (3200K) type or daylight (5600K)
type can be selected just like with films on one
menu screen. Two sets of ND&CC optical filters
are featured as a standard option.
OABB (automatic black balance) and AWB
(automatic white balance) functions incorporated.
Two values for each of the four CC filters can be
retained as the AWB values.
4-piece filter disc sets available as standard
accessories
The filter best suited to the subject’s brightness and color
temperature can be selected. Two independent sets of
filter discs, one for CC and one for ND, each with four
filter discs, are provided as standard accessories.
OStatuses and warnings are displayed on the
viewfinder screen.

Features (continued)
Features of the VTR unit
Digital system
Built-in DOLBY NR system
The pictures are compressed by a component digital
recording system that uses the latest compression
technology while non-compression PCM recording
featuring excellent signal-to-noise ratio, frequency
band, waveform characteristics and reproduction of
detailed areas is employed for the sound. The result
is an even higher picture and sound quality.
The cue audio recording circuitry contains a Dolby B
noise reduction circuit.
Audio functions
OA phantom power supply type of microphone
(optional accessory) with sharp directivity
characteristics can be attached. It can also be
detached from the unit for use as an interview
microphone.
OOther kinds of microphones can also be connected
and, using the model AJ-MH800G microphone
holder (optional accessory), attached to the unit.
Power saving management (SAVE REC) function
When the VTR unit is used for recording, the playback
system circuitry can be shut down, making it possible
to perform operations with
consumption.
a
lower power
NEWS REC function
Scene-to-scene continuity
This function especially supports shooting in the
context of news gathering or documentary filming to
ensure that no opportune shutter opportunities are
passed up.
Simply by pressing the VTR START button or lens
VTR button, continuity between the scenes is
obtained at a precision of 0 to +1 frame.
In other words, by controlling the start key
acknowledgment time, the unit can continuously
record without the user having to interrupt the
recording: this safeguards against the failure to record
those precious moments—a failure that occurs when
recording is resumed after it has been shut down
temporarily.
Rec review function
The last 2 to 10 seconds of a recording are
automatically rewound and played back to enable the
user to quickly check what has been recorded.
Playback function
This function enables the playback picture (in black
and white) to be viewed on the viewfinder screen.
Color playback pictures can be output from the HD
SDI MON connector.
RETAKE function
This function is for not leaving behind superfluous cuts
when a cut turns out to be no good during the
shooting of news, reports or art programs.
Users should remember to handle this function very
carefully.
If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a
particular cut is clearly judged to be no good, the tape
is rewound to the start of the cut concerned and the
rec pause (rec standby) mode is established by
operating the MODE CHECK button and lens RET
button. Since recording is now commenced from that
point on the tape, the no-good cut will be deleted. In
order to prevent the cut prior to the no-good cut from
being deleted, a part of the no-good cut equivalent to
ten or so frames is left behind.
Built-in time code generator/reader
The same or separate time code information can be
recorded on the dedicated sub-code track and video
AUX area, and played back.
External locking of time code
The built-in time code generator can be locked to an
external generator. A lithium battery is used as the
backup power supply of the built-in time code
generator to back up the memory data for about a
year even when no power is supplied to the unit.
Tape management information
As the tape management information, this unit
automatically saves the frame rate information on the
shooting speeds, the active frame information on the
first frame where the frame image was switched, and
the active frame count information in the user bits of
the sub-code track area (which used to be the LTC
area).
By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the
work tape, for instance, this function is very effective
in achieving economical operation.
INTERVAL REC function
This function makes simple interval shooting possible.
It proves to be very effective when shooting programs
with a nature theme or art programs.

Film tone gamma function
The unit incorporates a total of three gamma curves—
Film mode (FILM MENU)
two cine curves (for films/for videos) and the
conventional video gamma curve—and it enables the
curve that best suits the application at hand to be
selected.
Two types of film-like images can be achieved in this
mode.
FILM REC (for films: film gamma)
This is the optimum mode for printing the images
recorded on tape onto film and presenting them.
The images are processed using the film-use cine
gamma characteristics developed by Panasonic.
VIDEO REC (for videos: film tone gamma)
Even when playing back images recorded on tape
using a video component, this mode provides a
wide dynamic range, enabling images to be played
back in a mode where the images are more like film
images than the conventional video images.
The images are processed using the video-use cine
gamma characteristics developed by Panasonic.
Switching from the film mode to video mode or vice
versa can be accomplished using the CAM MENU
SEL item on the OPTION screen of FILM (CAM)
MAIN MENU 4.
Two gamma curves (for films/for videos) are available
in the film mode. They can be set by selecting the

Since the 720P/59.94 Hz or 720P/60.00 Hz format is
used for recording onto the tape or outputting to the
HD SDI MON connector and the HD SDI EE
connector , users now have the exciting opportunity to
create a whole new dimension of moving images with
clearer slow-motion images and blur effects—a world
which was hitherto confined to the field of film
production—in their own video productions.

Set the unit to a status other than the menu
operation status.
This unit automatically stores as the tape
management information both the frame rate
information which indicates the shooting speed and
the active frame information which indicates the first
frame where the frame image was switched in the
user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be
the LTC area). This information is output from the TC
OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI
EE connector. Further, the active frame information is
stored in the least significant digit of the user bits
while the frame rate information is stored in its lower
third and fourth digits.

<Notes>
3Disturbed images
In this unit, the frame rate is set by changing the
storage time of the optical signals sensed by the CCD.
Depending on the frame rate setting, the following
problems may arise.
The images may be disturbed for an instant when
shooting while maintaining the frame-to-frame
continuity of the scenes with the time code set to
the rec run mode and with the frame rate set at 24
fps, 25 fps, 30 fps or 50 fps.
1White blemish
This occurs in order to reset the video signals from
the camera so as to maintain the continuity of the
time code recorded on the tape.
The disturbed images are not recorded on the tape
but they will affect the signals which are output from
the HD SDI MON connector.
Similarly, the images may also be disturbed for an
instant when the time code has been locked to
external signals or preset while the frame rate is set
at 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps or 50 fps.
If the time code has been set to the free run mode,
the images may also be disturbed at that instant
when the frame rate is switched to 24 fps, 25 fps,
30 fps or 50 fps.
White blemishes may be seen on the screen on
account of the fluctuations in the dark current of the
photodiodes which make up the CCD picture
elements.
This current increases in direct
proportion to the rise in the CCD’s temperature and
storage time in the photodiode.
In short, the white blemish increase in inverse
proportion to the frame rate setting.
When a lower frame rate setting is desired, reduce
the master gain setting and, where possible, avoid
direct sunlight and use the unit in a cool
environment.
When using this unit particularly at a low frame rate
of 11 fps or less, the extremely small white streaks
generated by the CCD are minimized using a
special method. For this reason, when subjects
with extremely small bright spots are shot, these
spots may appear less bright.
However, the images will not be disturbed
during recording even if the frame rate is
switched to 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps or 50 fps.
2Delayed response time in automatic processing
When the frame rate setting has been lowered, it
takes longer for the unit to perform the automatic
processing (such as auto white balance, flare
compensation, auto knee and auto iris), possibly
giving the user the impression that something is
odd or wrong.
The response time for automatic processes is
particularly slow at a frame rate of 20 fps and
below.
When the frame rate has been set to 20 fps or
below, it is recommended that the unit be operated
with the automatic processing released.
63
Scan reverse
Using an HD lens adapter made by Angenieux, this
unit supports the ultra-prime lenses used for film
cameras as a standard feature. Furthermore, it can
also select the setting of the scan reverse function for
canceling the image correction (reversal of the
top/bottom and left/right of the images) that is

24 fps, it will not be possible to set the time code
while recording is in progress since the images will
be disturbed if the advancing of the time code is
discontinuous.
OWhen the frame frequency has been set to 60.00
Hz, the unit always performs the processing in the
non-drop frame mode.

Setting the time data (continued)
<Note>
Externally locking the time code
When the external lock operation is performed, the
time code is instantly locked to the external time code,
and the same value as the external code value
appears on the counter display.
Set the POWER switch to ON.
1
Do not set the unit to the recording mode during the
few seconds it takes for the sync generator to
stabilize.
Set the TCG switch to F-RUN.
2

4
Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.
User bits setting when the time code is externally
locked
When the time code is externally locked, only the time
data is locked to the time data of the external time
code.
Supply the reference time code and reference
video signal which are in a phase relationship that
satisfies the time code standard to the TC IN
connector and GENLOCK IN connector
respectively.
This means that the user bits can be set separately for
each unit.
The user bits can also be locked to the user bits of the
external time code. For details, consult your dealer.
To release the external lock
First stop supplying the external time code, and set
the TCG switch to R-RUN.

2
When switching the power from the battery to an
external power supply while the time code is
externally locked
In order to ensure the continuity of the time code
generator’s power, connect the external power supply
to the DC IN connector, and then remove the battery
pack. If the battery pack is removed first, no
guarantees can be made for the continuity of the
external locking of the time code.
1
Gen-locking of the camera unit while the time
code is externally locked
Example of connections for external
lock
While the time code is externally locked, the camera
unit is gen-locked by the reference video signal which
is supplied to the GEN LOCK IN connector.
The time code generator of the VTR unit can be
locked to an external generator.
<Notes>
OWhen the frame rate is set to 24 fps, this unit will
perform the processing in the non-drop frame mode
in order to maintain the continuity of the frames
even when the time code has been set to the drop
frame mode.
When locking to an external signal
Reference
time code
GENLOCK IN
TC IN
Furthermore, when the frame frequency has been
set to 60.00 Hz as well, the unit performs the
processing in the non-drop frame mode.
If an external time code generator is used, set it to
the non-drop frame mode.
Reference
video signal
OUse the same frame frequency setting for the
reference time code and reference videos signal as
the unit’s setting.
The built-in time code generator is now locked to the
reference time code.
About 10 seconds after locking, the external lock
status will be retained even if the connection of the
externally supplied reference time code is
disconnected. However, the servo lock will be subject
to disturbances if it is connected or disconnected
during recording (REC).
When the frame rate is used at 24 fps, the image
may be disturbed if the frame frequencies differ.
67
Tape management information
This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which
indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame
image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be the LTC area). This information
is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector. Further, the active
frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored
in its lower third and fourth digits.

performed for 10 seconds, “0240”
will be displayed as the count.
When recording is started, the count
is reset to “0000,” and the number of
recorded frames per cut is counted
up to “9999.”

Setting Data Using an SD memory card
An SD memory card (optional accessory) can be used
as a setup card that stores up to eight files of settings
menu specifications.
How to eject the SD memory card
Open the cover by raising its bottom edge, and eject
the SD memory card.
<Note>
Use of this data speeds up the process of reproducing
suitable setup statuses.
Take care not to touch the connector on the edge of
the SD memory card directly.
OThe SD memory cards used with this unit do not
comply with the SD standards. Do not use the SD
memory cards formatted with other camera-
recorders.
SD memory cards that have been formatted on
personal computers (NTFS, FAT32) cannot be
used with this unit. They also may not be formatted
on this unit.
SD memory cards with the following capacity (8 MB
- 512 MB) can be used for the unit:
8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB,
256 MB, 512 MB
How to insert the SD memory card
With the surface bearing the logo facing you, insert
the SD memory card into the SD memory card slot,
and close the cover.
<Note>
Bear in mind the following points when using
and saving the SD memory cards.
OAvoid high temperatures and high humidity levels.
Check that the surface bearing the logo is facing you
and the lettering is not upside down before inserting
the card.
OKeep the cards away from water.
When inserting the card, check the direction in which
the card is pointing, and if it does not slide neatly into
place, it means that the card may be pointing in the
wrong direction or that it may be upside down. Do not
force the card into place but check which is the front
and back and which is the top and bottom, and try
inserting the card again.
OAvoid exposing the cards to electrical charges.
Keep the SD memory card inside the unit with the
cover closed.

Recording (continued)
Scene-to-scene continuity
If the unit is in the rec-pause mode, it is possible to
ensure scene-to-scene continuity with an accuracy of
0 up to 1 frame just by pressing the VTR START
button or lens VTR button.
If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point
at which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be
maintained must be located before recording is
started.
Ensuring scene-to-scene continuity at
other times
Proceed as follows either after the tape has been
allowed to run or after the cassette has been ejected
or when ensuring continuity on a tape which has been
recorded only in part.
While monitoring the viewfinder screen, press the
PLAY/PAUSE button to play back the tape.
1
During rec-pause
The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located
automatically. However, the time taken until the start
of recording differs depending on the setting of the
VTR SAVE/STBY switch.
At the place on the tape where continuity is to be
maintained, press the PLAY/PAUSE (or STOP)
button again to stop the tape.
2
OWhen the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE,
recording commences about two seconds after the
VTR START button is pressed.
OWhen the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY,
recording commences as soon as the VTR START
button is pressed.
Press the lens RET button.

operations.
83
Playback
(checking what has been recorded)
When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the
playback pictures can be monitored on the viewfinder
screen.
These playback pictures can be monitored in two
other ways.
Rec review
Color playback
When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens
RET button is pressed, the last two seconds of the
tape are automatically rewound, and the playback
pictures on this part of the tape appear on the
viewfinder screen. This makes it possible to check
whether recording was performed properly.
After the two seconds of the tape have been played
back, the unit is again set to the recording start
standby mode.
When an HD color monitor is connected to the unit’s
HD SDI MON connector, color playback pictures can
be monitored.
The playback signals will be output to the viewfinder
even during rewinding (REW) or fast forwarding (FF).
Selecting the audio output of the playback signal and
adjusting the volume are accomplished using the
MONITOR switch control (page 12).
If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10
seconds of the tape is rewound and played back.
<Note>
The rec review function cannot be used unless
recording lasts for one or more seconds.
The functions of the RET button on the lens can be
assigned to the USER1 or USER2 button on the
unit’s side panel on the CAM SW MODE screen of
FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 2, and this button can
then be used to perform the return operations.
Lens RET button functions
Depending on the internal VTR status, the RET button
functions which appear on the viewfinder screen
change as follows.
The functions of the RET button on the lens can be
assigned to the USER1 or USER2 button on the
unit’s side panel on the CAM SW MODE screen of
FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 2, and this button can
then be used to perform the return operations.

Other VTR functions
NEWS REC function
INTERVAL REC (intermittent recording)
function
The NEWS REC function is set using NEWS REC
MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen.
This function makes simple interval shooting
(intermittent recording) possible. It proves to be
particularly effective when shooting programs with a
nature theme or art programs.
The INTERVAL REC function is set on the VTR
MENU “FUNCTION” screen.
By
controlling
the
VTR
START
button
acknowledgment time during recording (by up to 2
seconds), the time taken for the unit to transfer from
the recording mode to the rec-pause mode can be
delayed.
In other words, by controlling the VTR START button
operation acknowledgment time, the unit can
continuously record without the user having to
interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the
failure to record those precious moments—a failure
that occurs when recording is resumed immediately
after it was shut down temporarily.
OINTERVAL REC MODE
This sets the INTERVAL REC function to ON, ONE
SHOT or OFF.
OINTERVAL REC TIME
This sets the recording time (1 cut) for interval
shooting.
OINTERVAL PAUSE TIME
This sets the rec-pause time for interval shooting.
RETAKE function
Once the above items are set, the unit is set to the
INTERVAL REC mode, and “i” starts to flash inside
the viewfinder.
When the VTR START button is now pressed, interval
shooting is started, and “iREC” lights in place of “i.”
Also, the time unit (h/min/s/frm) display on the counter
display area starts to flash.
When the unit is set to rec-pause mode upon
completion of the first interval shooting, “iREC” goes
from lighted to flashing inside the viewfinder.
The time unit display on the counter display area
remains flashing.
The RETAKE function is activated by selecting ON for
RETAKE MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION”
screen.
If the lens RET button is pressed while holding down
the MODE CHECK button when the unit is in the rec-
pause mode upon completion of a recording or
subsequently in the STOP mode, the tape will be
rewound to a point near the start point (a position
about 10 frames ahead of the recording start point) of
the final picture which was last recorded, and the unit
will be set to the rec-pause mode.
If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a
particular cut is clearly judged to be no good,
recording can be started from that point so that the
no-good cut will be deleted.
To forcibly stop recording at any point in time during
interval recording, press the STOP button repeatedly.
By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the
work tape, for instance, this function is very effective
in achieving economical operation.

This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and
the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area
(this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector.
Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored in its
lower third and fourth digits.
<Notes>
OWhen “DATE,” “TCG” or “USER” has been selected as the UB MODE item setting on the TC/UB screen, the tape management
information is output from the least significant digit to the lower fourth digit of the user bits, so no other user bits information will be

Maintenance
Condensation
Head cleaning
The water vapor in the air may form as tiny droplets
on the head drum when the unit is moved from a cold
location to a warm location or used in a very humid
place. This phenomenon is known as condensation,
and running the tape under these conditions is liable
to cause the tape to stick to the drum.
Use the AJ-CL12LP cleaning cassette if the heads
need to be cleaned.
Take care to read the
instructions accompanying the cleaning tape since the
video heads may be damaged if the tape is not used
in the correct way.
Note the following points:
Cleaning inside the viewfinder
ODo not use thinners or any other solvent to remove
ORemove the tape when the unit’s operation is to be
started in conditions where condensation may form.
OBefore loading the tape, set the power switch to
ON, and check that the HUMID display is not
lighted in the display window.
dirt.
OUse a lens cleaner available on the market to wipe
the lens.
ONEVER wipe the mirror.
<Note>
For safety reasons, the HUMID display will flash and
the drum will rotate for 80 minutes after condensation
detection is released.
During this time, the operation buttons cannot be
operated.
If dirt or dust has found its way onto the mirror,
remove it using an air blower available on the
market.
Phenomena inherent to CCD
cameras
Check that the HUMID display
is not lighted.
Smear
This phenomenon may occur when very bright
subjects are shot.
The faster the electronic shutter speed, the more likely
that it will occur.
White blemish
This phenomenon is caused by small white spots
when dark places are shot. The lower the frame rate
or the higher the gain, the more noticeable it
becomes.
Replacing the backup battery
The backup battery is already installed when the unit
is shipped.
When it has discharged, the “BACK UP BATT
EMPTY” display appears for 3 seconds on the
viewfinder screen when the POWER switch is set to
ON.
Moreover, the time code value of the TCG will be set
to “00:00:00:00” and the backup of the time code
value will no longer be possible: this means that the
backup battery should be replaced.
Consult with your nearest service center, and replace
the spent battery with a new battery (CR2032 or
BR2032).
CAUTION:
Backup battery
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified
service personel only. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not perform any servicing other than that
contained in the operaiting instructions unless you
are qualified to do so.
