Note: If ON is selected for the SUPER-D2 parameter, a shadow (black line) may appear at the boundary between the bright and the dim scene. This is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate trouble.

3. Shutter Speed Setting (SHUTTER)

Note: When ELC is selected for ALC/ELC on the CAM SET UP menu or ON is selected for SUPER-D2 on the ALC CONT menu, this item is not available.

To select electronic shutter speed, select OFF for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu.

Move the cursor to the SHUTTER parameter and select the electronic shutter speed.

The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing or as shown at below:

OFF (1/60) 1/100 1/250 1/500

1/10000 1/4000 1/2000 1/1000

4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON/OFF)

You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic level adjustment (ON) or fixed level (OFF).

Move the cursor to the AGC parameter and select automatic level adjustment (ON) or fixed level (OFF).

Note: If ON is selected for the AGC parameter, the noise reduction function is automatically activated under low light conditions to reduce noise. In pictures containing a moving object, this may result in an afterimage.

5. Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)

There are two modes for SENS UP.

AUTO: If you select X10 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is raised automatically to X10 max. When AUTO is selected, AGC is automatically set to ON.

FIX: If you select X32 FIX, for example, the sensitivity is raised to just X32.

Move the cursor to the SENS UP parameter and select the parameter for electronic sensitivi- ty enhancement.

The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement)

change by pressing or as shown right:

OFF X2 AUTO X4 AUTO X6 AUTO X10 AUTO OFF

X32 FIX X16 FIX X10 FIX X6 FIX X4 FIX X2 FIX

Notes:

•When ON is selected for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu, FIX is not available for this item.

•When you select AUTO for SENS UP and ON for SUPER-D2, the SENS UP function has priority so that the SUPER-D2 function is not activated automatically.

•While the SENS UP function is selected, noise, spots or a whitish phenomenon may appear in the picture when the sensitivity of the camera is increased. This is a normal phenomenon.

6.Synchronization Setting (SYNC)

You can select internal sync mode (INT) or line-lock mode (LL). Additionally, this model accepts the VBS signal (color composite video or blackburst signal) and VS signal (B/W composite video or composite sync signal). The VD2 signal (multiplexed vertical drive sig- nal) with the composite video output signal from external equipment such as a Matrix Switcher is also acceptable.

Whenever the VD2 signal is supplied to this camera, the camera automatically switches to the VD2 sync mode.
