SONY DXC-3000 ORIENTATION  
The filter wheel is used to compensate for various lighting  
situations. They help to maintain proper color temperatures  
when shooting indoors and outdoors. The DXC-3000 has  
three filter positions.  
It is recommended to use the correct filter when shooting  
in the specific color temperature. Therefore, filter #1 is  
usually used when shooting indoors, and filter #2 & #3 is  
used outdoors. The ND (Neutral Density) filter is used to  
compensate for a bright light situation, however in doing  
so it does not change the color tmeperature.  
Filter #1=3200 degrees Kelvin  
Filter #2= 5600 degrees Kelvin w/1/8 ND  
Filter #3=5600 degrees Kelvin

There are many cameras out  
there. Some may have as many  
as 20 filters. Know your filters!  
It can really make or break a  
production. Always double  
check the settings and make sure  
itʼs locked into place.  
Many of the studio camera features  
will be controlled by the CCUʼs.  
This would be the job for the technical  
director or engineer from the control  
room. Bars, gain, and white & black  
balancing are usually controlled remotely.

SONY DXC-3000 Zoom Orientation  
The remote electric zoom is relatively a simple device. Aside from controlling zoom action it also contains a video return button. This button,  
labeled “VTR” will allow you to see what is on the preview monitor in the control room. With this capability you can COMP (compose) a shot with  
switcher setting appearing in your camera viewfinder. This is how to COMP for a box wipe or television graphic like that in a newscast program. You  
can also use it to see what the up-coming event is. The video return button does not affect your camera output to the switcher so it wonʼt matter if you  
decide to activate the switch during the program.  
There are 2 remote video return buttons  
1. Top of the handle above the zoom rocker switch  
2. A depression under the rubber housing of the  
handle (hidden)

Remote zoom rocker switch  
(telephoto-clockwise turn)  
( wide-counter clockwise turn)  
The zoom action switch changes the rocker zoom  
from a clockwise zoom-in to a clockwise zoom out.  
Normally a clockwise movement of the zoom rocker  
performs a zoom-in or telephoto action.  
The real purpose of this switch is to accomodate for  
left-handed operators.  
SONY DXC-3000 Viewfinder Orientation Viewfinder  
The viewfinder mounted to the top of the camera is an under-scanned monitor. This enables you to see the entire picture from one edge to the other.  
When you compare the visual image you see in the viewfinder to the image you see on the television, you may notice the TV image crops off  
information on all sides. This is why we must follow safe-title regions when we COMP our shots. So why have an underscanned monitor/viewfinder?  
So that you can determine exactly what your camera is shooting and prevent anything from sneaking in on the sides that shouldnʼt be there. Knowing  
how much to compensate and shoot for the viewing audience may be difficult at first, but you can use the COMP border markers taped on the  
monitor to assist you in shooting.

The side of the viewfinder contains monitor adjustment controls.  
All monitors need to be adjusted correctly in order to have proper  
viewing. This means to have a technical understanding of level  
adjustments and industry standards.  
Start to train your eye at an early stage so that you can recognize  
what a properly adjusted monitor looks like.
