 Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera

Before using the camera

r Caution regarding laser beams
The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.
Take suficient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.

r Note the following points.

f If you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded
normally.
f Should video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of the camera or the P2 cards used, we will not assume liability for such failure.
f Set up or check the calendar and time zone before recording. (page 41) These settings have an effect on the management and playback order of
recorded contents.

r Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others

Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merely change the ile management information: it will
not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a
data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their
memory cards.

When the power of the camera is turned on, inrush current is generated. Insuficient power supply when turning on the power may cause a malfunction. We
recommend that you use an external DC power supply that can assure double the capacity of the total power consumption of the camera and connected devices
that are turned on by interlock when the power of the camera is turned on (such as lenses, wireless microphone receivers). For the DC cable, use a dual-core
shielded cord of AWG18 (nominal cross section area 0.824 mm2) or thicker.

f Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the external DC power supply and the camera <DC IN> terminal, and connect the polarity
correctly.
If the +12 V power supply is mistakenly connected to the GND terminal, it may cause ire or malfunction.

@฀NOTE
t When both the battery and the external DC power supply are connected, the power supply from the external DC power supply has priority. The battery
may be removed while using the external DC power supply.
t When using an external DC power supply, be sure to turn the camera’s <POWER> switch to <ON> after turning on the <POWER> switch of the
external DC power supply. If the operations are performed in reverse, the camera may malfunction because the external DC power supply output
voltage rises too slowly.
t When power is supplied from the <DC IN> terminal, the light circuit does not function. The light circuit can be used only when power is supplied from
the Anton/Bauer battery plate.
t When connecting the battery to the <DC IN> terminal, set the type of battery using the main menu → [BATTERY SETUP] → [EXT DC IN SELECT]. In
this case, the remaining battery level is not displayed with % even when the battery has the battery level indicator function.

Chromatic aberration compensation function (CAC)

The chromatic aberration compensation function minimizes color smearing in peripheral images. This function automatically compensates for
registration error that is caused mainly due to slight chromatic aberration, which is hard to completely compensate with the lens itself, using the camera
recorder unit.
When the lens compatible with the chromatic aberration compensation function is mounted, if the camera has the chromatic aberration compensation
data of the lens, then the chromatic aberration compensation function is activated automatically.

What is lens chromatic aberration?

B
G
R

“Chromatic aberration” here refers to zoom factor chromatic aberration. Zoom factor chromatic aberration occurs since the diffraction ratio of a lens
differs according to red (R)/green (G)/blue (B). Chromatic aberration on the lens itself is compensated for, but still remains in the periphery, in particular.
Also, this chromatic aberration occurs on zoom lens due to a complex relationship between zoom ratio, iris and focal distance. In image terms, this is
registration error.

Chromatic aberration compensation function

To compensate chromatic aberration, store the chromatic aberration characteristics of the lens regarding zoom ratio, iris and focal distance to the
camera recorder beforehand. Connect a lens that matches those chromatic aberration characteristics, and perform compensation matched to the zoom
ratio, iris and focal distance of that lens.
The following type of chromatic aberration compensation function data for lenses is stored in the camera before it is shipped.

How to handle data recorded on P2 cards

P2 cards are semiconductor memory cards that are used as the recording medium in the professional video production and broadcasting devices that
make up the DVCPRO P2 series.
f Since data recorded in the P2 format is in a ile format, they have excellent compatibility with computers. The ile structure is a unique format, which
in addition to video and audio data in MXF iles contains various other important information items. The folder structure links data recorded in the P2
format as shown below.
Drive:\

CONTENTS
AVCLIP
AUDIO
CLIP
ICON
PROXY
VIDEO
VOICE
LASTCLIP.TXT*

All these folders are required.

If even part of this information is modified or deleted, the data may no longer
be recognized as P2 data, or the card may no longer be able to be used with
P2 devices.

This is the file to which the information of the final clip that was recorded
with the P2 device is written.

@฀NOTE
t P2 cards formatted on devices other than microP2 memory card compatible devices do not have the AVCLIP folder. For P2 cards without the AVCLIP
folder, the folder will automatically be created when recording is performed on microP2 memory card compatible devices.
t When transferring data from a P2 card to a computer, or when rewriting data saved on a computer back to a P2 card, to prevent data loss be sure to
download the special “P2 Viewer Plus” software. For details on downloading P2 Viewer Plus and the operating environment, visit the support desk at
the following website:
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/
t Follow the steps below to use general IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer the data to a computer. However, be
sure to use P2 Viewer Plus when bringing data back to a P2 card.
- Transfer the corresponding CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT ile together as a set.
- Do not transfer individual iles from the CONTENTS folder.
- When copying, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT ile at the same time as the CONTENTS folder.
- When transferring the data in multiple P2 cards to a computer, create a folder for each P2 card to prevent clips with the same name from being
overwritten.
- Do not delete data from the P2 card.
- Be sure to format P2 cards on a P2 device or P2 Viewer Plus.

 Chapter 4 Shooting — Basic procedures

Basic procedures
This section describes the basic procedures for shooting. Before you actually leave for shooting, pre-inspect your system to ensure that it works properly
after making preparations. (page 191)

Preparation

Power supply setup to P2 card insertion

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

1 Insert a charged battery pack. (Fig. 1)

2 Turn the <POWER> switch <ON>, and check the battery charge level.
Check the battery charge level indication on the viewinder or the [HOME] screen of SmartUI.
If the battery charge level shows lower than actual, check the battery settings. (page 136) If the settings are correct, replace with a fully charged
battery.

3 Insert a P2 card, make sure that the P2 card access LED is illuminated orange or green, and then close the slot cover. (Fig. 2)
When two P2 cards are inserted in the card slots, data will be recorded to the P2 card with the smaller slot number irst. Note, however, that
regardless of the slot number, if a P2 card is inserted later, recording to that P2 card will be performed after the previously inserted P2 card.
f Example: When P2 cards are inserted in two slots
If P2 cards are inserted in both slots, recording to the P2 cards are performed in the order of slot number 1 → 2. However, if you remove the P2
card from slot 1 and then insert it again, recording of the P2 card will take place in the order from slot 2 → 1.
The number of the P2 card to be recorded to is held even if the camera is turned off. When the camera is turned on the next time, recording can be
continued to the same P2 card as that used before the camera was turned off.

Shooting and recording switch settings

After turning on the power and inserting the P2 card, set the switches as follows before starting operations.

a b c d

a: <USER MAIN> button

The [Y GET] function is assigned in the factory settings.
b: <GAIN> switch
Normally, set this to <L> (0 dB). If conditions are too dark, set the gain to an appropriate value.

t Under lighting conditions using luorescent lighting or other discharge tube, horizontal stripes might appear on screen. If this happens, this can be
improved by adjusting the shutter speed.
t A subject that quickly crosses the camera may appear distorted when shot. This is due to the method applied for reading the signals from the pickup
device (MOS sensor), and is not a malfunction.
t Red, blue, or green spots might appear on screen at slow shutter speeds, though this is not a malfunction.

 Chapter 4 Shooting — Flash band compensation (FBC) function

Flash band compensation (FBC) function

The camera is equipped with a function for compensating and reducing band-like interference (called “lash band”) that occurs due to the MOS pickup
device when shooting in environments where lash strobe light such as that from still cameras is present.
Change over time

* Not displayed when [OFF] is set in the main menu → [DISPLAY SETUP] → [DISPLAY SETTING] → [FBC].

@฀NOTE
t When the lash strobe lights, the following phenomena may occur. These are due to the lash band compensation function and are not malfunctions.
- Moving subjects look as if they have been stopped for a moment.
- The resolution drops when the lash strobe lights.
- Horizontal lines appear in the video when the lash strobe lights.
- Flash bands appear only in images shot at the time the lash strobe lights.

Using the lash band compensation function

The lash band compensation function is activated when there are large changes in brightness at the bottom of the screen regardless of whether there
is lash strobe light. The lash band compensation function may be activated depending on the shooting environment such as where a bright window has
zoomed in and then out. So, we recommend use of this function in shooting environments where lash strobe lighting is anticipated.
Even if lash strobe lighting occurs, suficient lash band compensation function effect may not be obtained in some shooting environments.

Flash band compensation function operation conditions

f The lash band compensation function can be used when all of the following conditions are satisied.
- Either in 59.94i, 59.94P, 50i, or 50P mode
- Scan reverse and digital zoom functions are not operating
- <SHUTTER> switch is <OFF>
f Even if the lash band compensation function is enabled, the lash band compensation function is forcibly disabled if the camera is changed to a mode
where the lash band compensation function cannot be used.
To use the function again, return to a mode where the function can be used, and press the USER button to turn on the lash band compensation
function.
The lash band compensation function is disabled once the power is turned off.
f Even if the lash band compensation function is active, the lash band compensation function temporarily turns off when the <SHUTTER> switch is
turned <ON>. The lash band compensation function turns on again by turning the <SHUTTER> switch <OFF>.

Slot 1 A clip Stand-by B clip

Slot 2 A clip Stand-by B clip C clip

Selecting [ON] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [SIMUL REC] will set the camera to simultaneous recording mode.
The remaining time that can be simultaneously recorded (the remaining time of the memory card that has less available recording space) is displayed in
the media remaining space indicator on the screen, and [SIMUL] is displayed.
When the P2 card in the slot with less remaining recording space becomes full, simultaneous recording stops.
When starting simultaneous recording again, replace the P2 card in the slot with full capacity with a new P2 card, and press the <REC> button. When
the simultaneous recording cannot be performed, [SIMUL] indication is displayed with a diagonal line.
If you press the <REC> button without replacing the P2 card, normal recording will be performed on the P2 card in slot 2 (the slot with remaining
memory space).
For details on system modes in which simultaneous recording can be used, refer to the table in “System modes and recording functions” (page 71).

@฀NOTE
t Start recording when two P2 cards are recognized. When recording is started before both P2 cards are recognized, standard recording is performed
using the P2 card that has been recognized. The card status is checked after recording ends. At that time, if both cards are recognized, simultaneous
recording is performed.
t When the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ] is set to [1080-59.94i/P], [1080-50i/P], or [1080-23.98PsF], simultaneous recording is not
performed.
t Simultaneous recording cannot be used together with loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, or dual codec recording.
t If recording stops because a recording malfunction occurs in one of the P2 cards during simultaneous recording, the camera will continue recording
onto the other P2 card. However, if the card is removed while being accessed, recording will stop.
t If there is space in one of the P2 cards after simultaneous recording has ended, the P2 card with more space will automatically be the recording target.
Press the <REC> button again to record normally.
t If only one P2 card is inserted when simultaneous recording mode is set, the camera will start standard recording.

Hot swap recording

When P2 cards are inserted in two P2 card slots, recording can be performed continuously across two cards.
Also, the card other than the one currently being recorded to can be swapped and recording can be continued on three or more cards (hot swap
recording).
Note that P2 card recognition may take time depending on the timing when the P2 card is inserted into the vacant card slot (immediately after pre-
recording or before and after continuous recording across two card slots). When inserting a P2 card, make sure that there is at least one minute of free
space on the card to be recorded to.

@฀NOTE
t Change slots while recording is on stand-by. You cannot change slots during recording.
t Hot swap playback is not supported.

Selection of external reference signal and generator lock setting

Locking the video signal to the external reference signal

The video signal output from the camera can be locked to the reference signal supplied from an external source.
The camera can receive external reference signals from the <GENLOCK IN> terminal.

Genlocking to the reference signal supplied from the <GENLOCK IN> terminal
HD-Y or composite signal that suits the system frame frequency is supplied to the <GENLOCK IN> terminal. Select the output signal to lock to the input
reference signal in the main menu → [OTHER FUNCTIONS] → [GL PHASE] (not available at 480i, 576i).

 Chapter 4 Shooting — Setting the time data

Setting the time data

The camera provides time codes, user bits, and date and time (real time) data as time data, and they are recorded in the frame in sync with video. They
are also recorded as data for clip metadata iles.

Deinition of time data

r Time code
Rec run and free run can be switched by [TC_MD] in the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI.
f [F-RUN]: The time code always advances even when the power is turned off, and it can be handled in the same way as the actual time. It can also be
slaved to the time code input to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.
f [R-RUN]: The time code advances only during recording. The number of the previously recorded clip is usually succeeded. The counter value is held
even after the camera is turned off or the P2 card to be recorded to is removed.

@฀NOTE
t In the following case, the values are not continuous.
- When deleting recorded clips
- When switching to 24PN and 30PN (25PN)
- When recording is interrupted due to a malfunction of [REC WARNING], etc. during recording.

r User bits
Two types of user bits are built in.
f LTC UB: Recorded as LTC and output from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal. It is also output as LTC of the HD SDI signal.
f VITC UB: Recorded as VITC (recorded to VIDEO AUX area by DVCPRO). It is also output as VITC of the HD SDI signal.
LTC UB can select and record user set values, time, year/month/day, the same value as time codes, camera frame rate information, and input value of
external signals from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal, etc.
VITC UB records the camera frame rate information.
The LTC UB value of the recording start time can be recorded on the user bits of the clip metadata.

r Date/time (real time)

f By means of the internal clock, year, month, day, and time can be displayed on the viewinder and on the output image of the <MON OUT> terminal,
etc.
f The internal clock is used for measuring the free run time code while the power is off and as time and year/month/day data of the user bits. It is also
used as the reference for ile generation times during clip recording, which determine the sorting order of thumbnails and the order of playback.
f It is also used to generate clip metadata and UMID (Unique Material Identiier).
For details, refer to “Setting the date/time of the internal clock” (page 41).

Sets the user bits to be recorded in the sub code area in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [UBG MODE].

Item Description
[USER] Records internal user values. User values can be set at [UBG] in the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI. Setting values are held
even when the power is turned off.
For details, refer to “How to input user bits” (page 91).
[TIME] Records the time measured by the internal clock.
[DATE] Records the hour digit of year/month/day/date-time measured by the internal clock.
[EXT] Records the user bits values currently entered to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.
[TCG] Records the time code value.
[FRAME RATE] Records the camera photo frame rate information.
When playing back clips recorded in native format, the same frame rate information as VITC UB is output regardless of the
recorded value. Use at this setting when the editing device such as a computer uses the frame rate information of the user bits.
[REGEN] Reads the user bit last recorded to P2 card that is currently to be recorded to and recording this value as it is.

@฀NOTE
t When slave-lock to the user bits value input to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal, set to [EXT].
t While the user bits are slaved, the [UBG[R]] display is in black and white inversion.
t After executing slave once, even if input from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal stops, the slave status will continue. However, in the following cases, the
slave status of the user bits will be released.
- When [UBG MODE] is set to other than [EXT]
- When user bits are set in the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI
- When the power is turned off
t The internal [USER] value retains the slaved value even after slave lock is released.
t To input external time codes from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal, set [TC IN] in the main menu → [IN/OUT SEL] → [TC IN/OUT SEL].

Frame rate information recorded on user bits

Saving the frame rate values for the image information shot/saved according to the frame rate set in the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] to user bits
allows you to use the editor (personal computer editing software).
Information is always saved in VITC UB.
In addition, selecting [FRAME RATE] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [UBG MODE] saves the information also in user bits (LTC UB). In
playback of clips recorded in native format, the same values as the frame rate information obtained by playing back recorded user bits are also output
as HD SDI output signals or user bits of TC output from the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.

Time code function during battery replacement

Even during battery replacement, the backup mechanism functions, allowing the time code generator to continue operating.
When each item of the system mode has been changed, the time code of free run may shift. Turn on the power again, check the time code, and reset it,
if necessary.

@฀NOTE
t When the <POWER> switch has been switched to <ON> → <OFF> → <ON>, the backup accuracy of the time code in the free run mode is
approximately ±2 frames.

Externally locking the time code

The internal time code generator of the camera can be locked to an external generator. In addition, the time code generator of an external device can be
locked to the internal time code generator of the camera.

Example of connections for external locking

As shown in the igure, connect both the reference video signal and the reference time code.
For details on reference signal and generator lock, refer to “Selection of external reference signal and generator lock setting” (page 86).

r When locking onto an external signal

Reference video signal

<GENLOCK IN> terminal

Reference time code

<TC IN/OUT> terminal

@฀NOTE
t You can input Y reference signals of HD and composite video signals as reference videos signals.
t When the system mode is 480i (576i) (SD), 1080i/P, and 720P, input the composite video signal.
t When the system mode is 1080i/P and 720P, if you input the HD-Y signal, genlock will be applied to the image signal, but the time code may be shifted
by one frame.
t If the genlock input reference signal becomes disrupted, a normal recording cannot be performed and [TEMPORARY PAUSE IRREGULAR FRM SIG]
lashes on the viewinder, then clips are divided. The continuity of the time code is not guaranteed. Recording will be resumed when the signal returns
to normal. However, interval recording, one-shot recording, and loop recording are not resumed.

r When two cameras are connected and one is used as a reference camera

Reference camera Slave camera

<TC IN/OUT> terminal <TC IN/OUT> terminal

<MON OUT> terminal <GENLOCK IN> terminal

@฀NOTE
t Set the <TC IN/OUT> terminal to output or input in the main menu → [IN/OUT SEL] → [TC IN/OUT SEL].
t For all devices, set [RECORDING] in the main menu → [IN/OUT SEL] → [TC OUTPUT REF] and set [COMPOSITE] in the main menu → [OTHER
FUNCTIONS] → [GL PHASE].
t If you set [RECORDING] in the main menu → [IN/OUT SEL] → [TC OUTPUT REF], the two cameras will be able to record with the same time code in
the image.
t You cannot externally lock the composite signal subcarrier output from the <MON OUT> terminal of the camera.

External lock operation procedure

To externally lock the time code, follow the steps below.

1 Set [TC IN] in the main menu → [IN/OUT SEL] → [TC IN/OUT SEL].
2 Press the <SETUP> button to display the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI.
3 Press the <COUNTER> button to set the counter display to [TC].
4 Press the <STOP> button to set [TC_MD] to [F-RUN].

 Chapter 4 Shooting — Setting the time data

5 Input a reference time code and reference video signal that are in a phase relationship (that conforms to time code specifications)
to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal and the <GENLOCK IN> terminal.
The built-in time code generator is locked to the reference time code. When approximately ten seconds has elapsed after locking, the external lock
status will be held even if the reference time code from the external device is disconnected.
f When the input reference signal of genlock is disrupted, recording cannot be performed normally. [TEMPORARY PAUSE IRREGULAR SIG] is
displayed in the viewinder, and the clip is divided. The continuity of the time code is not guaranteed. Recording will be resumed when the signal
returns to normal. However, during loop recording, recording does not resume.
f When external lock is performed, the time code is instantaneously locked to the external time code, the same value as the value of the external
time code is output to the counter display area, and the [TCG[R]] display is black and white inverted. Do not set to the recording mode for several
seconds until the sync generator has stabilized. Also, lock the time code to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal signal.
f When using the camera with [ON] set in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [PRE REC], disrupted images or stopped time codes may
be recorded if the time code is switched from recording run to free run immediately before recording or an external time code is input to be slave-
locked to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.
f If you execute the slave once, even if there is no longer <TC IN/OUT> terminal and <GENLOCK IN> terminal input, the slave status is maintained.
However, in the following cases, the slave status will be released.
- When time code is set on the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI
- When the power is turned off
- When switching between [DF]/[NDF] in [DF MODE]
- When [TC_MD] is set to [R-RUN] on the [SET01:TC/UB] screen of SmartUI
- When switching between [REC FORMAT] and [CAMERA MODE]

Setting of user bits when the time code is externally locked

To lock user bits to the input values from an external source, set the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [UBG MODE] to [EXT]. Regardless of the
setting of recording run/free run, it is slaved to user bits values input to the <TC IN/OUT> terminal.

Canceling the external lock

After stopping supply of the external time code, set the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [UBG MODE] to other than [EXT].

Cautions when switching the power supply from the battery to the external DC power supply while an external lock
is active
To keep on the time code generator power supply continuously, connect an external DC power supply to the <DC IN> terminal and then remove the
battery pack. If the battery pack is removed irst, there is no guarantee that the time code will stay externally locked.

External synchronization of the camera unit while an external lock is active

While an external lock is active, the genlock is activated on the camera unit by the reference video signal input to the <GENLOCK IN> terminal.

@฀NOTE
t To externally lock multiple units with the camera as the master device, set to the same setting as on the camera. Note that in a system using a mixture
of interlaced and progressive scanning, the continuity of the video and time codes is not guaranteed.
t When externally locking in 24PN Native mode, be sure to input non-drop frame time codes. An external lock is not possible using drop frames. Also,
images may be disrupted the instant that the external lock is activated, though this is due to alignment of the 5-frame cycle and is not a malfunction.

Supplying the time code externally

You can supply the output time codes to a VTR or other recording device from the camera by matching the camera images or the replayed images.
