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.)

Place a box to block a section between pattern box and camera.

Place a board having a hole in front of the camera and cover the pattern box and camera with a blackout curtain

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.

The DSC-T500 is adjusted by the Automatic Adjustment Program.
The Automatic Adjustment Program enters automatically via the
SeusZ the adjustment operations that were formerly entered manu-
ally by the adjustment remote commander (some items may be
adjusted by manual operation on the operation screen of the SeusZ).

1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re-

sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communi-
cation with the camera via the SeusZ. Accordingly, the Auto-
matic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment
where the SeusZ operates.

2) The Automatic Adjustment Program cannot be used when the

SEUS, SeusCam, or SeusEX is running. Exit the SEUS,
SeusCam or SeusEX before using the Automatic Adjustment
Program.

3) The SeusZ must be already started on the PC when using the

Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SeusZ not started,
some adjustment items will take time in adjustment.

4) The program run time may vary depending on the environ-

ment of the personal computer used.

Double-click the application file (DSC-T500 Auto-Adj
Ver_1.1r02.exe), and the Automatic Adjustment Program will start.
