Notes on the remote control unit
Light reception range of the remote control unit is within a horizontal radius of 5 meters from the remote control light receptor. Use the remote control unit within this range. If direct sunlight or powerful illumination (inverted fluorescent light, flash light, etc.) or infrared light are shone on the remote control light receptor, the remote control may not function properly. In that case, change the position of the unit or the direction of the illumination.
Remote control light receptor

approx. 20 approx. 20

Horizontal direction of 360
Vertical direction of approx. 20
If there is a person or an object between the remote control and the light receptor, signal reception may not be possible. When the camera head is rotated to shoot surrounding objects, the light receptor may not receive the signal. If the remote control is dropped or a violent shock is applied to it, the internal mechanism and electronic parts may be damaged. Be careful when handling it. When batteries are close to depletion, signal reception weakens. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones.
CAUTION When changing the batteries, always replace both batteries with new ones. Do not use a new battery together with an old one. Otherwise, a fire or injury may result due to the explosion or leakage of the battery. When the remote control is not used for a long period (more than one month), remove the batteries. Otherwise, a fire or injury may result due to the explosion or leakage of the battery. Do not charge, disassemble or heat a battery, nor throw it into a fire. Otherwise, a fire or injury may result due to the explosion or leakage of the battery.

Check these points

Is the power plug connected to an AC outlet? Is the power switch turned on? Is this unit connected correctly to the projector or display? Is the brightness set to the optimum level? Are you sure that the pictures have been stored to memory? First store the pictures to memory and then recall them Is EXT IN selected as a source? Select CAMERA. Are the picture mode and sync signals set appropriately? Set them according to the specifications of the connected projector or display. Is the close-up lens attached? Is the object too close to the lens or is the top of the object at a height of more than 100 mm from the stage surface? Did you shoot the surrounding objects with a camera with close-up lens attached? When shooting surrounding objects, remove the close-up lens. Did you enlarge the picture size with the zoom after focusing was achieved? Perform focusing after enlarging the picture size with zoom. With FOCUS AUTO, focusing may be difficult depending on the object. In this case, adjust the focus with the FAR and NEAR buttons. If the unit is connected to the projector, make sure that the projector is focused correctly. Refer to the projector's instruction manual for focusing procedure. Is the close-up lens or camera lens dirty? Clean it with a commercially available cleaner. Are the side illumination lamps on? Is the brightness set appropriately? Dots in the printed matter may interfere with the pixels in the camera image device resulting in producing color stripes. In this case, change the picture size slightly with the ZOOM buttons. Have you adjusted the tone with the AUTO WHITE SET? Have you set the optimum values for RED LEVEL and BLUE LEVEL on the menu display? Make sure that the negative mode is not engaged. When this unit is used near equipment generating a strong electric wave, beats may occur in the picture. Keep this unit away from such equipment. In areas where the 50 Hz power frequency is used, flickering may occur on the screen when a fluorescent light or mercury-vapor lamp is used. Use this unit by lighting the side illumination lamps.
