When performing adjustments using the color bar chart, ad-
just the picture frame as shown in Fig. 6-1-3. (Color reproduc-
tion adjustment frame)

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.

Set the distance from the front of the lens to the pattern box as
shown in Fig. 6-1-5.

The HDR-SR11/SR11E/SR12/SR12E are adjusted by the Auto-
matic Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program
enters automatically via the SeusEX the adjustment operations that
were formerly entered manually by the adjustment remote com-
mander (some items may be adjusted by manual operation on the
operation screen of the SeusEX).

1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment re-

sults such as EVR data to the set through two-way communi-
cation with the camcorder via the SeusEX. Accordingly, the
Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environ-
ment where the SeusEX operates.

2) 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.

3) 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.

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

ment of the personal computer used.

Double-click the application file (HDR-SR11 Series Auto-Adj
Ver_1.2r03.exe), and the Automatic Adjustment Program will start.
