Page 7: Special Notes On Operation
Special notes on operation • Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting cables. • Connection or disconnection of any studio cable, RCB cable or other cable to any unit of equipment must be performed while power is off. • While the camera is in automatic mode; Shooting of bright objects in ELC operation mode may result in a smeared picture unique to the CCD. -
Page 8: Precautions
Precautions DON’TS • Do not attempt to disassemble the camera, remote control unit (RCU) or other units. In order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. • Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera contains sensitive components which could be damaged by improper handling or storage. - Page 9 • Refer any servicing to qualified service personnel. • Handle the camera with care. • Protect the precision made lens by placing the lens cap over when the camera is not in use.
