Note: If ON is selected for SUPER-D2, a shadow (black line) may appear at the boundary between the bright and the dim scene. This is a natural phenomenon and does not indi- cate 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 SHUTTER and select the electronic shutter speed.

The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing L or M
as follows:
The factory default setting is ---.	OFF (1/60)	1/100	1/250	1/500
	1/10000	1/4000	1/2000	1/1000

4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON (DNR-H, DNR-L)/OFF)

AGC (Automatic Gain Control) automatically controls the gain (an image brightness level). Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L), or OFF. The factory default setting is ON (DNR-H).

ON (DNR-H):This setting raises the gain and brightens the image under low light con- ditions.

ON (DNR-L):This setting reduces an afterimage sometimes caused by a moving object when ON (DNR-H) is activated.

OFF: This setting does not control the gain.

Notes:

•When ON (DNR-L) is selected, noise can slightly increase than ON (DNR-H).

•DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear on the system status display of the connected equip- ment.

5.Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)

There are two modes for SENS UP.

AUTO: If you select X10 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is automatically raised 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. The factory default setting is OFF.

Move the cursor to SENS UP and select the parameter for electronic sensitivity enhance- ment.

The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing L or M 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-D2function 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.
