NOTE

When the FULL AUTO or ALC+EEI is ON, the gain be- comes ALC. However, the GAIN is Lolux in the Lolux mode. The gain cannot be varied in this mode.

LOW : 0 dB (No gain boost)

MID : 9 dB (Gain approximately tripled.)

HIGH: 18 dB (Gain approximately octupled.)

The gain boost values of these switch positions can be modified to the following values.

(Available values: -3 dB, 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, 15dB, 18 dB)

REF. : Items 5D to 5F, “GAIN LOW, MID and HIGH” on page 25.

The gain value set in the variable mode is applied in priority over the gain switch setting.

This function is unavailable when connected to GY- HD250/GY-HD251.

3. The gain can be fine adjusted between 0.1 dB and 18 dB in 0.1 dB steps in the VARIABLE mode. Also, in this mode, the maximum gain value can be set to 9 dB, 12 dB or 18 dB.

When the variation step is set to 1.0 dB, the gain can be varied from 1 dB to 18 dB in 1 dB steps.
