Exposure Time; Focussing - THOMSON grass valley LDK 6000 MKII Series User Manual

Exposure Time

The exposure time values of 1/200, 1/500 and 1/1000 of a
second are used to capture fast moving objects so that these
can be played back sharply in slow motion. The value selected
depends on the speed of the moving object.
Note: Increasing the exposure speed lowers the camera
sensitivity proportionally.
The exposure selection also includes lighting control positions
which can be used when shooting with lighting that is operating
at a different frequency to the camera. There are two position 50
Hz and 60 Hz. Each of these positions can be varied further in
a range from -10 to +10.
To reduce flicker select the frequency closest to the frequency
of the lights and then vary the lighting control in the system Install
menu to obtain the best result.

Focussing

To assist with focussing through the viewfinder, a viewfinder
zoom function is available which enlarges the centre of the
viewfinder image. In the install menu you can choose a button
to control this function:
• The VTR button on the camera,
• The VTR button on the lens,
• The RET switch on a zoom control when the camera is used
with a large lens adapter.
The way these buttons operate when in the zoom mode can also
be selected in the Install menu.
A crawler function (that can be switched on or off in the VF menu)
adds motion in the viewfinder to objects in sharp focus.
