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 sensitiv- ity is raised to just X32.

The factory default setting is OFF.

Move the cursor to SENS UP and select the parameter for electronic sensitivity enhancement.

The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing L or M as shown below:

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 auto- matically.

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

6.White Balance Setting (WHITE BAL)

You can select one of three modes for white balance adjustment as follows:

The factory default setting is ATW1.

ATW1 (Auto-Tracing White Balance 1)

Move the cursor to WHITE BAL and select ATW1. In this mode, the colour temperature is monitored continuously and thereby white balance is automat- ically set. The colour temperature range for the proper white balance is approximately 2 600 - 6 000 K. Proper white balance may not be obtained under the following conditions:
