Sony HDCAM HDW-730 Operation Manual page 244

a) When an HKDW-703 is not installed, even though you can
assign this function to the ASSIGN 1 switch on the ASS <1>
SEL window, the ASSIGN 1 switch does not work.
b) Even when MARKER is set to OFF on the MARKER page of
the USER menu, the ASSIGN 1 switch allows you to display or
not to display all markers.
c) EZ FOCUS
When EZ FOCUS is set to ON, the iris stays open and the video
level is automatically adjusted to the proper level by the
4
electronic shutter when an excessive amount of light passes
through the lens. The depth of field is shallow because the iris
stays open, and it is easy to check whether the object is in clear
focus.
Pressing the switch again sets the EZ FOCUS function to OFF.
This function automatically returns to OFF about 10 seconds
after being set to ON.
d) Even if RETURN VIDEO is set to OFF on the GENLOCK page
of the MAINTENANCE menu, you can use this switch to
display the image of the return video signal on the viewfinder.
