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)

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

• The boosting level for each switch position can be changed with the SWITCH MODE menu screen.
