C[GAIN] Sensitivity selector switch

Electronically boosts the light sensitivity when there is insufficient illumination on the subject. The boosting level differs depending on the switch position as follows:

(Factory presets)

L : 0 dB (no boosting is applied)

M : 9 dB (boosted to approximately 3 times the original)

H : 18 dB (boosted to approximately 8 times the original)

The boosting level for each switch position can be changed with the CAMERA OPERATION menu screen.

See page 75.

The more the boosting level is increased, the more the resulting image will be noisy.

When shooting a human being indoors with a view to the landscape out through a window.

When shooting a human being in the shade on a fine day.

When shooting a high-contrast scene.

CAUTION:

If a fast moving high-brightness section like a car in sunlight is shot, the auto knee function may change the brightness of the entire image along with the motion of the object. In this case, set the auto knee function to OFF.

If a fast moving high-brightness section like a car in sunlight is shot, the auto knee function may change the brightness of the entire image along with the motion of the object. In this case, set the auto knee function to OFF.

% [WHT.BAL] White balance switch

Three white balance modes are selectable with this switch.

B

: If white balance is performed with the switch in

 

this position, it will be memorized into B.

D[OUTPUT] Color bar/Camera/Auto knee switch

This switch is used to select the output signal. When the video signal from the shooting camera is selected, the auto knee function is available.

CAM. AUTO KNEE ON: Outputs the video signal from the shooting camera. In this mode, the auto knee function is available.

CAM. AUTO KNEE OFF: Outputs the video signal from the shooting camera. In this mode, the auto knee function is not available.

BARS: Outputs the color bar signal. In this mode, the auto knee function is not available. Set to this position when adjusting the video monitor or when recording the color bar signal. Color bars will not appear when Full Auto is set to ON or when in the VTR mode.

AUTO KNEE function

When shooting a foreground subject, such as a human being, etc., with a high-brightness background, if the brightness level is set for the foreground subject, the background image will be blurred with white. In such a case, a clearer background is obtained when the auto knee function is used.

It is effective especially in the following cases:

E[WHT.BAL] White balance switch

Three white balance modes are selectable with this switch.

B : If white balance is performed with the switch in this position, it will be memorized into B.

A: If white balance is performed with the switch in this position, it will be memorized into A.

PRST : A non-erasable white balance setting at 3200K.

(PRESET)

FAW (Full-time Auto White) mode can be set to A, B or PRESET with the CAMERA OPERATION menu. See page 75.

In the FAW mode, video color temperatures are constantly sampled for automatic adjustment to a proper white balance.

F[MODE] Mode switching switch

This is a switch to select either the Camera mode or the VTR mode. Each time this switch is pressed upward, the mode is switched to either the Camera mode or the VTR mode and the CAM indicator 9 or VTR indicator 0 lights in accordance with the selected mode.
