4. Gain Control Setting (AGC)
Select an automatic gain control mode. This setting raises the gain and brightens the image under low light conditions. The
default setting is "ON (HIGH)".
Available modes:ON (HIGH), ON (MID), ON (LOW), OFF
5. Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)
Select a proper enhancement rate when the camera is set to ALC mode. The higher rate you select, the brighter the picture will
be. The default setting is "OFF".
AUTO: Sets "AGC" to "ON" and adaptively raises the sensitivity up to the selected amplification rate, for example 10 times
when set to "X10 AUTO".
FIX: Raises the sensitivity fixedly to the selected rate.
OFF: Does not raise the sensitivity.

Notes:
Some types of system controllers may not operate some of the SENS UP functions. If this happens, use the operation but-
tons on the camera.
When you select "AUTO" for "SENS UP" and "ON" for "SUPER-D3", the SENS UP function has priority so that the SUPER-D3
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 sensi-
tivity of the camera is increased. This is a normal phenomenon.
Only when "OFF", "X2 FIX", or "X2 AUTO" is selected for sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP), it is possible to perform ABF
adjustment or to select "AUTO" for "C/L ←→ B/W" on the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" menu. When a sensitivity rate other than
"X2 FIX" or "X2 AUTO" is selected, use "PRESET" and "FIX" for "C/L ←→ B/W" on the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" menu.
6. Synchronization Setting (SYNC)
1. Select a sync mode.
VD2: Multiplexed vertical drive, highest priority
LL: Line-Lock, follows the phase of supplied AC power, 2nd
priority
INT: Internal sync, lowest priority
Notes:
Selection is not available when VD2 is added to the camera.
Selection from "LL" is available when the respective sync is
added.
When "LL" is selected, phase adjustment is required.
2. Line-Lock Vertical Phase Adjustment (V PHASE)
Select "LL" and press the [SET] button.
Prepare a dual-trace oscilloscope and supply it with the video output of the camera to be adjusted and that of the refer-
ence camera.
Set the oscilloscope to the vertical rate and expand the V-sync portion.
Select a proper "COARSE" phase from 16 steps (22.5 degrees/step) that makes the two video signals on the oscilloscope
the closest.
