Lens The correct lens is important for deriving optimum performance from the camera. Consult These may a Hitachi Denshi dealer for a selection of fine lenses according to the application. Installation and storage sites These may cause The following types of environment can impair performance, lead to damage, pose safety hazards and shorten the useful life of the camera.
Cleaning A photographer’s blower or lens brush can be used for clearing dust from the lens and optical filters. Wipe dust from the case with a soft dry cloth. If soiling is severe, moisten the cloth with a solution of neutral detergent.

3) Moire Interaction between patterns can produce an additional "phantom" pattern to appear. The CCD picture elements (pixels) are arranged in a pattern, which can interact with a pattern in the scene (e.g., a performer wearing a finely striped necktie) to result in a Moire pattern. The effect should be considered when selecting costumes, props and other scene elements.

Control and Status register (CSR) HV-F31F and HV-F22F differ from earlier conventional cameras in that camera functions can be set by entering predetermined setting commands in the Control and Status register (CSR) of the 1394-based Digital Camera Specification Ver. 1.30.
1. IIDC Standard CSR (1) BRIGHTNESS Master black level is adjusted -Manual adjustment- Setting value 820000xx h xx: 00h to FFh (standard 80h) Can be set in range of 00h to FFh. Setting value to 00h side lowers black level. FFh side raises black level.

-One Push Auto White Balance (AWB)- Setting value 86000000 h State for automatic white balance adjustment. -AUTO (ATW)- Setting value 83000000 h White balance is adjusted in real time (automatic tracking). An effective function when the scene is subject to changes in color temperature of the light source. The speed for changing the color temperature is selected by A.
Page 29
-Manual adjustment- Setting value 82000xxx h Electronic shutter can be set in the range of 4 to 1/100,000 second. Shutter speed setting value can be derived as follows. OFF_SPEED = 15 (HV-F22), 30 (HV-F31). • Cause of shutter speed ≦ (1 / OFF_SPEED) a) Setting value obtained from fluorescent time.
Shutter Speed[sec] = (801h – nnn ) / OFF_SPEED Example Fluorescent time = 1/7.5s usable as setting value nnn with HV-F31F. 801h - (30×(1/7.5)) = 7FDh -AUTO- Setting value 83000000 h Auto electronic shutter operates to vary the shutter speed in the range of OFF to 1/100,000 second in response to light source brightness.

2. Advance CSR 2-1. Image color reproduction and color balance related CSR (1) MASKING RGB and Ye Cy Mg color saturation and hue can be separately varied (6 vector independent masking). Color reproduction detail and fidelity are effectively enhanced. When engaged, R saturation (CSR: F200 0024) - M hue ((CSR: F200 0050) can be set, with color phase and saturation adjusted for each color phase.

shading is of concern. If shading is grossly large or light variation random, compensation error can occur. Adjust uniformity of the light source. -One push (ASC)- Setting value 8600000x h x: Same as above. Conduct by the following procedure. 1.

Trigger operation and timing chart External trigger refer to a function for picking up rapidly moving objects by applying a trigger pulse input. It is possible to pick up an image with various timing. 1. HV-F31F (1) External trigger operating mode: Mode 0 When external trigger signal is high active, light pulse begins at the rising edge of the trigger signal and ends at the falling edge.
Page 56
(2) External trigger operating mode: Mode 1 When external trigger signal is high active, after the trigger signal rise, the flash signal start/end can be set to determine the flash time. At the flash signal falling edge, the internal VD signal is reset and the video data are transmitted.
2. HV-F22F (1) External trigger operating mode: Mode 0 When external trigger signal is high active, light pulse begins at the rising edge of the trigger signal and ends at the falling edge. At the trigger signal falling edge, the internal VD signal is reset and the video data are transmitted.
