3. Subjects 1) Color bar chart (Color reproduction adjustment frame) When performing adjustments using the color bar chart, adjust the picture frame as shown in Fig. 6-1-3. (Color reproduction adjustment frame) 2) Clear chart (AWB adjustment frame) Shoot the color bar chart. Then adjust the zoom to TELE side from WIDE side, and stop it when the black frame of the chart disappears. Remove the color bar chart from pattern box and insert a clear chart in its place. 3) Chart for flange back adjustment Join together a piece of white A0 size paper (1189 mm × 841 mm) and a piece of black paper to make the chart shown in Fig. 6-1-4. Note: Use a non-reflecting and non-glazing vellum paper. The size must be A0 or larger and the joint between the white and black paper must not have any undulations.

4. Setting Distance between Pattern Box and Camera Set the distance from the front of the lens to the pattern box as shown in Fig. 6-1-5.
L = 1 m (PTB-450) L = 40 cm (PTB-1450) Pattern box L Front of the lens Camera
Fig. 6-1-5
5. Precautions When Using Pattern Box 1) It takes about 30 minutes for pattern box to stabilize its brightness. Turn on the pattern box 30 minutes before the adjustment starts. 2) Make arrangement so that the outside light does not enter the chart surface in the pattern box. Also, place a board between chart and camera, and make a hole at the lens part of the board so that the camera is not reflected in the shot image screen. (Adjustment may not be performed correctly due to the influence of outside light.) Example 1: Place a box to block a section between pattern box and camera.
Make the hole of the same size as the pattern box.
Make the hole of the same size as the lens.

L = 1 m (PTB-450) L = 40 cm (PTB-1450) L

Example 2: Place a board having a hole in front of the camera and cover the pattern box and camera with a blackout curtain
Cover with a blackout curtain L = 1 m (PTB-450) L = 40 cm (PTB-1450) L

Front of the lens Camera
3) Control of color chart The color chart will fade if it is exposed to direct sunlight or strong light. Since the fading of color chart progresses even with the light in the pattern box, remove and store the color chart when it is not used. Remove the color chart and store it. Store the color chart in a place not exposed to direct light, avoiding high temperature and humidity. Use the color chart for about three years, and afterward replace it with a new chart.

ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM
The HDR-CX11E/CX12/CX12E are adjusted by the Automatic Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program enters automatically via the SeusEX the adjustment operations that were formerly entered manually by the adjustment remote commander (some items may be adjusted by manual operation on the operation screen of the SeusEX). 1. 1) Precautions When Using Automatic Adjustment Program The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment results such as EVR data to the set through two-way communication with the camcorder via the SeusEX. Accordingly, the Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment where the SeusEX operates. The Automatic Adjustment Program cannot be used when the SEUS or the SeusCam is running. Exit the SEUS or the SeusCam before using the Automatic Adjustment Program. The SeusEX must be already started on the PC when using the Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SeusEX not started, some adjustment items will take time in adjustment. The program run time may vary depending on the environment of the personal computer used.
3. Function of Each Button on Main Menu Screen When the Automatic Adjustment Program started, the Main Menu screen in Fig. 6-1-9 will appear. On this screen, select each adjustment section.

USB SERIAL No. INPUT
1.
The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it. This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement. If original ID can be read from the board before replacement, read it from the board before replacement using the "SERIAL READ/ WRITE" screen, and then write it after replacement. If original ID cannot be read from the board before replacement, write the ID for service using the "MANUAL WRITE" screen. (The ID for service is different from the ID written when the set is shipped.) Enter the PRODUCT ID (last 5 characters of model name) and SERIAL No. into the screen and write them.

11. CAMERA Adjustment 8 Perform this adjustment only when replacing the GYRO sensor or lens block. When the microprocessor, circuit etc. is damaged, don't perform this adjustment but check the operations only. 11-1. Preparation when the GYRO sensor, LD-241 board, or VC-535 board is replaced Note down the sensitivity displayed on the GYRO sensor of the repair parts. At this time, note down also to which board it was attached to. Be sure to check because if attached incorrectly, the screen will vibrate up and down or left and right during the steady shot operations. Note: If the VC-535 board was replaced, replace the LD-241 board at the same time, or replace the GYRO sensor with the repair part.
Preparation: 1) Read the PITCH sensor (LD-241 board SE9001) sensitivity written on repair parts, and named this as S9001. 2) Read the YAW sensor (VC-535 board SE1001) sensitivity written on repair parts, and named this as S1001.
