Notes:

• The CAMERA ID stops at the edges of the monitor screen.

2. Light Control Setting (ALC/ELC)

You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris.

ALC: If you use the auto iris lens, select this parameter.

ELC: If you use a fixed or manual iris lens, select this parameter.

The factory default setting is ALC.

1.Move the cursor to ALC/ELC.

2.Select ALC or ELC.

Cautions:

1.Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC type lens because the ELC control range is not wide enough under these conditions.

2.Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur:

•Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight objects such as spotlight or sunlight from windows.

•Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations.

3.If ELC is selected, SUPER-D2 and SHUTTER are not available and white balance mode is automatically set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.

4.If ELC is selected for ALC/ELC and used with the fixed iris lens in, the focal depth becomes shallower than with the ALC type lens. Therefore, the range of focus-to-object distance becomes narrower.

2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 ON

Super Dynamic2 Function (SUPER-D2)

The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the SUPER-D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the important object is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would most likely be located). You can use the SUPER-D2function if you select ALC. It eliminates interference by strong background lighting which makes the camera picture dark, such as a spotlight.

1.Select ALC, and press I. The ALC CONT menu appears.

2.Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and select ON.
