Page 14: System
The power to the KY-F75 can be supplied through the IEEE1394 connector of the computer. Caution When the KY-F75 is supplied with power though the IEEE1394 cable, make sure that the capacity on the supplying side is sufficient to meet the consumption by the KY-F75 (approximately 600 mA in the case of DC 12 V). - Page 15 When the motorized lens is used, the separately sold AC Adapter AA-P700 should be used to supply the power to the camera. Connect the [DC IN] connector on the KY-F75 to the AA-P700 using the DC power cable. Attach the clamp filter supplied with the KY-F75 to the DC power cable.

To mount the lens, lightly press the thread section of the lens mount onto the thread section of the camera, and then turn the lens unit or the KY-F75 slowly clockwise until the lens is securely threaded onto the camera. -
Page 20: Connecting The Ac Adapter
Connecting the AC adapter It is possible to supply power to the KY-F75 from the computer via the IEEE1394 cable, but when a motorized lens, etc., is used, the DC cable should be used to connect the KY-F75’s [DC IN] connector and the [TO CAMERA] connector on the AC adapter (AA-P700). - Page 21 Turning the power ON Wait for 5 seconds or more after the power switch on the AA-P700 is set to ON before invok- ing the [KY-LINK] application software. Turning the power OFF Wait for 5 seconds or more after the [KY-LINK] application software is closed before setting the power switch on the AA-P700 to OFF.

Page 49: About Alc And Eei Operations
About ALC and EEI operations ALC stands for Automatic Level Control and EEI for Extended Electronic Iris. ( By making the respective settings, the Automatic Level Control (ALC) will operate under dark lighting, and the electronic shutter (EEI) will operate under bright lighting. Furthermore, setting the IRIS mode to AUTO will synchronize sensitivity, iris and electronic shutter so that an appro- priate signal level can be acquired automatically at all times. -
