Power on/off switch (3 position):
- Lower: the video assist is ON in black and white mode (B&W) and the red LED is lit.
- Middle: power is OFF and the red LED is not lit.
- Upper: the video assist is ON in color mode and the red LED is lit.

The flicker reduction switch (3 position):
- When set to the lower position, flickerfree mode FF is activated and the green LED is lit. This mode is designed to produce a flickerfree image for camera speeds ranging from 10 to 150 fps (mirror shutter of 180°).
- When set to the middle position, flicker reduction is off and the green LED is not lit. The video assist is in normal mode.
- NTSC - When set to the upper position, flickerfree mode FF30 is activated and the green LED is lit. This mode provides a 100% flickerfree image when operating at a camera speed of 29.97 fps or 30 fps. In this mode, flickering is reduced by 70% for camera speeds other than 29.97 fps and 30 fps.
PAL - When set to the upper position, flickerfree mode FF24/25 is activated and the green LED is lit. This mode provides a 100% flickerfree image when operating at a camera speed of 24 fps or 25 fps.

If the video assist is powered from the camera's 3 pin Fischer accessory connector, flickerfree modes FF , FF30 (NTSC) and FF24/25 (PAL) will only be active when the camera is running. Once the camera is stopped, normal mode will resume. If the digital gain control is set to "9", flickerfree FR/A mode will be active even when the camera is stopped. If the video assist is supplied from the 12V battery using a cable with a 4 pin XLR connector, activation of the flickerfree FR/A mode will not depend on whether the camera is running.

White balance switch (3 position):
- Lower: 5600K (fixed) - for outdoor shooting on sunny days.
- Middle: 3200K (fixed) - for indoor shooting under incandescent light.
- Upper: Auto White Balance is ON. The white balance is adjusted according to the color temperature transition of the subject. This mode is suitable for shooting with variable lighting.

Pin 1 - OV, GND
Pin 2 - Input +24V or +12V
Pin 3 - Y- GND
Pin 4 - Y output of S-video
Pin 5 - NC
Pin 6 - Input: /ERUN, F ist

Pin 8 - C output of S-video
Pin 9 - C- GND
Pin 10 - NC
Pin 11 - input, if +12V connected then FR/A mode is active
Pin 12 - NC
