Adjusting the gain
When the screen of the camera is dark, you can make the screen bright by raising the gain.
<GAIN> switch | <AUTO/MANU> switch |
1Use the <AUTO/MANU> switch, to switch to manual mode. (Page 18)
2Use the <GAIN> switch to switch the gain. <L>:
Normally, put it in this position. (Factory setting is 0 dB)
<M>:
Raises the gain of the camera image amp. (Factory setting is 6 dB)
<H>:
Raises the gain of the camera image amp. (Factory setting is 12 dB)
•Gain value of <L>/<M>/<H> can be changed in the [LOW GAIN]/[MID GAIN]/[HIGH GAIN] item on the setup menu [SW MODE] screen. (Page 86)
Especially when gain adjustment is necessary, assign the [S.GAIN] item to any of the <USER1> - <USER3> buttons. Each time the assigned button is pressed, you can switch between normal gain/super gain. When setting super gain, select [24dB] or [30dB] in the [SUPER GAIN] item on the [SW MODE] screen.
•When other than [OFF] is selected with the [AGC] item on the setup menu [AUTO SW] screen, auto gain is on during auto mode regardless of the position of the <GAIN> switch. (Page 88)
•When the recording frame rate is 2 fps, 0 dB is fixed regardless of the position of the <GAIN> switch.

Adjusting the white balance
To reproduce white accurately, adjust the proportion of the primary colors RGB. When the white balance is wrong, not only the reproduction of white is bad, but also the color tone of the whole screen becomes bad.
When shooting in manual mode, if light conditions change, always adjust the white balance.
The adjusted value for white balance can be saved on the <A> and <B> positions of the <WHITE BAL> switch.
Also, you can use the preset values already in the memory. Use the memory according to shooting conditions.
