Chromatic Aberration Compensation (Cac) - Panasonic P2HD VariCam AJ-HPX3700G Operating Instructions Manual

Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)

CAC is a function that automatically corrects registration errors mainly caused by slight chromatic aberration, which cannot be
corrected with lenses, and minimizes color weepage on the images.
What is the chromatic aberration?
Chromatic aberration means magnification ratio chromatic
aberration. Magnification ratio chromatic aberration is
caused by differences in the red (R), green (G), and blue (B)
refractive indexes of a lens. The lens itself corrects
chromatic aberration but the astigmatism remains in the
surrounding area in particular. The zooming ratio, iris, and
focal distance involves complicated chromatic aberration
phenomena in a zoom lens. Images have registration errors.
Chromatic aberration compensation function
To correct the chromatic aberration, record the chromatic
aberration characteristics of the lens for the zooming ratio,
iris, and focal distance in the unit and connect a lens suitable
for these characteristics. Then perform the correction in
accordance with the zooming ratio, iris, and focus distance
of the lens.
The CAC data for the following 4 kinds of lenses are stored
in the unit at the time of shipment from the factory.
