Adjustments and Setup During Recording

Setting the Gain Selector Value

When shooting in locations without sufficient brightness, bright images can be obtained by raising the gain. However, care should be taken as raising the gain also increases the noise.

The gain value for the image amplifier is selected by the GAIN switch. The gain values corre- sponding to the L, M and H positions of the GAIN switch are set at the MASTER GAIN page of the setting menu.
