Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Limit

When recording in dark surroundings, the camcorder will automatically increase the gain to try to get a brighter picture. However, using higher gain values may result in more noticeable video noise. You can select the AGC limit to curb the amount of noise by setting the maximum gain value to be used. The smaller the AGC limit, the picture will be darker but will have less the noise.

Operating modes:

[FUNC.] >[xAGC Limit] >[n]* (manual) > [Ï] or [Ð]** to set the AGC limit >[X]

*Touch [m] (automatic) to remove the limit for the automatic gain control. **You can also drag your finger along the dial.

• The selected AGC limit will appear on the screen.
