Operations

This section explains two things: the basic operation
for displaying normal materials and the advanced
operation for displaying special materials such as film
negatives.

Basic Operation

Turning on the power (POWER switch)
Press the POWER switch to turn on the power. The
VID-P150 automatically sets the camera to the home
position, turns on the arm lights, adjusts the focus, iris
(brightness), and white balance. While adjusting the
settings, the CAMERA indicator flashes for about 6
seconds and you cannot operate the ZOOM, FOCUS,
IRIS or W.BALANCE buttons. When the VID-P150
finishes adjusting the settings, the CAMERA indicator
light stays on and now you can use this unit.
The only things left to do are to adjust the camera
angle and to zoom the image on the screen to display a
normal document.
Changing the camera direction
The VID-P150 allows you to shoot in two positions:
the document position is for shooting material on the
stage, the flip-up position is for shooting material on a
wall by tilting the camera upward through 90 degrees
manually. At each position, you can move the camera
from left to right, or up and down using the power
scroll function. This allows you to shoot and display
the audience, students, or even yourself. To shoot an
object in the flip-up angle and far away from the VID-
P150 itself, remove the close-up lens.
