Sensitivity enhance setting (SENS UP)

The present camera includes a sensitivity enhancement function that increases the CCD exposure time and interpolates the image with an image stored in memory to effectively boost the sensitivity.

1)Press the SET button for longer than 2 seconds to display the “MAIN MENU”.

OFF

: Sensitivity enhance function not used; factory setting.

AUTO

: As the scene darkens, the sensitivity is automatically

 

enhanced by the selected multiple. Best mode for
