2AUTO W/B (white/black) BAL switch

AWB : The white balance is automatically adjusted. When the AWB memory selector switch on the side panel is set to A or B and then the AUTO W/B BAL switch is operated, the adjustment value is recorded in the memory. When VAR has been selected as the setting for AWB A and/or AWB B menus, the value will be the one set in the menu and this switch will not function. Note that this switch will also not function at the PRST position.

ABB : The black balance is automatically adjusted.

If the AUTO W/B BAL switch is held down at the ABB position for 5 or more seconds, the black shading is compensated automatically.

<Note>

When white balance or black balance are being automatically adjusted and the switch is pressed again to either the AWB side or to the ABB side, the automatic adjustment for the side pressed will be stopped.

The adjusted value in this case is the value before automatic adjustment was performed.

3SHUTTER switch

This is the ON/OFF selector switch of the electronic

shutter.

OFF : The electronic shutter does not operate.

ON : The electronic shutter operates.

SEL : This is used when the electronic shutter speed is to be changed.

The switch is a non-locking type. The shutter speed changes each time it is operated. For further details, refer to “4-2 Setting the electronic shutter.”

4Synchro scan adjustment switches

These switches become effective when the shutter switch 3 is set to ON and SYNCHRO SCAN is selected. They are used to adjust the synchro scan speed.

When the “–” switch is pressed, the shutter speed is reduced; conversely, when the “+” switch is pressed, it is increased.

During personal computer monitor shooting, etc. adjust these switches to the positions where the horizontal bar noise inside the viewfinder is decreased.

5GAIN selector switch

This is used to select the gain of the video amplifier in accordance with the lighting conditions prevailing at the time of the shooting. The gain values for the L, M and H settings are set ahead of time on the setting menu. Their factory settings are 0 dB, 9 dB and 18 dB, respectively.
