[GAIN] Selection

Switch

[FULL AUTO] Switch

Fixed Gain Mode (Manual Gain Switching)

You can select the gain of the video amplifier using the [GAIN] switch on the camera recorder.

The default positions of the switch are as follows.

[L]: 0 dB (No electrical boosting.)

[M]: 9 dB (Boosts sensitivity by about 2.8 times. )

[H]: 18 dB (Boosts sensitivity by about 8 times. )

Memo :

The gain value of each position can be set to AALCB and within the range of A0dBB to A18dBB (in increments of 3 dB) in the menu. Increasing the sensitivity causes the screen to appear grainier. (A Page 79)

Automatic Gain Mode (Automatic Gain Adjustment)

Set the [FULL AUTO] switch on the camera recorder to AONB to enter Automatic gain Level Control (AALCB fixed). The gain of the video amplifier is automatically set according to the brightness of the object.

In this case, the [GAIN] switch on the camera recorder is disabled.

Memo :

When [Gain] in the [Camera Function] B [FULL AUTO] menu is set to ASW SetB, you can switch the gain with the [GAIN] switch even if the [FULL AUTO] switch on the camera recorder is set to AONB. (A Page 81)

You can change the shutter speed (time for each shooting frame) using the electronic shutter function. Electronic shutter can be adjusted manually or automatically.
