[Mask area]

When "OFF" is selected for "Super Dynamic 3", it is possible to compensate for backlight by masking the brighter area.

Refer to page 44 for descriptions of how to mask.

[Shutter]

Select the shutter speed from the following.

AUTO: Provides clearer images of bright objects out- doors since the shutter speed is adjusted automati- cally. Flickering caused by fluorescent lamps can also be compensated.

OFF: Fixed at 1/60 sec

1/100: Recommended when flickering caused by fluo- rescent lamp appears frequently.

Default: AUTO

Depending on the environment, flickering may not be compensated even when selecting "AUTO". When flick- ers appear frequently, set the shutter speed to "1/100".

[AGC]

Select a method of gain adjustment from the following. ON (HIGH)/ON (MID)/ON (LOW): When the luminance

of the subject becomes darker, gain will be automati- cally incremented and screen will become brighter. "HIGH", "MID" and "LOW" are indications of gain level.

OFF: Images will be captured with the fixed gain level.

Default: ON (HIGH)

[Sensitivity up]

The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up) can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of CCD. The following are available for the sensitivity up. OFF/x2 AUTO/x4 AUTO/x6 AUTO/x10 AUTO/

x16 AUTO/x32 AUTO Default: OFF

Note:

When "x32 AUTO" is selected, for example, sensitiv- ity will automatically be increased up to x32.

Important:

When the sensitivity up function is active, frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots (blemishes) may sometimes appear.

[Simple Black & white mode]

Select "AUTO" or "OFF" for the simple black and white mode.

OFF: The camera will always be in the color mode.

AUTO: The camera will automatically be in the color mode or in the black and white mode depending on brightness (intensity of illumination).

When taking images under dark illumination, the camera will automatically become in the black and white mode.

When taking images under bright illumination, the camera will automatically become in the color mode.

Default: OFF

Approximate indication of brightness (intensity of illumination) that makes the camera to switch from the color mode to the black and white mode: Approx. 3 lx (When "ON" is selected for "AGC")

Time to be taken to switch from the color mode to the black and white mode: Approx.5 seconds

[White balance]

Select a method of white balance adjustment from the following.

White color can be adjusted by "Red Gain" and "Blue Gain".

ATW1: Auto tracing white balance mode

The camera will constantly check the color tempera- ture of the light source and adjust the white balance automatically.

Operating color temperature range is approx.

2 700 K – 6 000 K.

ATW2: Auto tracing white balance under a sodium lamp. The camera will adjust the white balance auto- matically under a sodium lamp.

Operating color temperature range is approx.

2 000 K – 6 000 K.

AWC: Auto white balance control mode

Suitable for shooting where the light source is fixed and the light intensity is constant. Operating color temperature range is approx. 2 000 K – 10 000 K.

Default: ATW1

Notes:

Under the following conditions, color may not be faithfully processed. In these cases, select "AWC".

When shooting a subject whose major part is a thick color

When shooting blue sky or sun at sunset

When shooting a subject whose luminance is too low
