Step 5

Move the cursor to "SCENE1" and press the right or left button to select "SCENE1" to resume normal operation.

Important:

When "SCENE2" is set for "ALARM IN", the "SCENE X (EXT)" indication will be displayed and it is impossible to change the scene file.

* X indicates "1" or "2".

2.Light quantity control method selection [ALC/ELC]

The method of controlling the quantity of light is selected from the following in accordance with the lens to be used.

ALC (default): The iris of the lens is automatically adjusted in accordance with the brightness of a subject. Select "ALC" when using the SUPER-D5 function or when using an ALC lens. Refer to the following when configuring the SUPER-D5 settings.

ALC+: Controls the quantity of light with a combination of the electronic shutter and auto iris. This selection is suitable at shoot- ing a bright subject such as an outdoor subject with auto iris lens. Be aware that flicker may occur when a subject is under fluorescent lighting.

ELC: Controls the quantity of light with the electronic shutter. This selection is suitable for use of a lens with fixed iris or manual iris.

SUPER-D5 (super dynamic function)

If there is high contrast between the bright and dark areas in a shooting zone, the dark area becomes less visible because the camera adjusts the iris in accordance with the bright area. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed out.

The SUPER DYNAMIC function digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.

SUPER-D5 setting

When "ALC/ELC" is set to "ALC", the SUPER-D5 function is available. Follow the procedure below.
