Automatic adjustment and memory functions for black balance/white balance
The black set, black balance and white balance can be automatically adjusted by simple switch
operations. Adjustment values are held in the memory even if the power for the unit is turned off,
so there is no need to readjust the balance each time the power is turned on.
There are two memory systems for white balance which can hold 3 adjustment values each for the
CC filter (cross filter is the same as 3200K.), making a total of 6 adjustment values. When adjust-
ment values matching the illumination conditions are selected from among the values stored in the
memory, the unit is automatically adjusted to the corresponding white balance. (A menu setting
also allows adjustment of only two values instead of the values for each filter.) In addition, when
the unit is shipped from the factory, the white balance value for 3200K is stored in the memory as
a preset value. This value can be called when there is no time to adjust the white balance, etc.
Character display function
The unit is equipped with a function that displays switch settings, the automatic adjustment status
for black balance and white balance, warning displays, etc. on the viewfinder screen.
In addition, when using an Anton Bauer Digital Magnum series battery as the unit's power supply,
the remaining battery level can be displayed numerically on the viewfinder screen.
Warning system for displaying the VTR section status
The unit informs of VTR trouble, the end of the tape, battery wear, etc. with various warning lamps
and a warning tone. The remaining tape time can also be checked by the character display inside
the viewfinder.
4·2 filters as standard equipment
CC (colour temperature conversion) and ND (neutral density) filters are provided as standard
equipment. The filter setting best suited to the brightness of the subject and lighting conditions can
be selected from among 16 different combinations.
Fine adjustment of the automatic iris reference value
The reference value for automatic iris adjustment can be finely adjusted by setting menu opera-
tions.
Auto close function

ing cases.
ÁWhen the black balance is automatically adjusted.

tate audio level adjustments.
