Panasonic WV-CF254 manual ALC Mode with SUPER-D on, ALC Mode with SUPER-D OFF and ELC Mode

2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D ON

Super Dynamic Function (SUPER-D)

The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor’s screen. In SUPER-D mode, more photometric weight is given to the cen- ter of the screen (where the important object is located) than to the edge of the picture (where a bright backlight would most likely be located). You can use the SUPER-D function if you select ALC. It eliminates interference by strong background light- ing which makes the camera picture dark, such as a spotlight.
