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 phenom- enon and does not indicate trouble.

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

You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic level adjustment.

Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L) or fixed level (OFF).

ON (DNR-L):Selects lower noise reduction level.

ON (DNR-H):Selects higher noise reduction level.

OFF (Fixed Level): Disables the gain control func- tion.

The factory default setting is ON (DNR-H).

Notes:

•If ON (DNR-H) is selected for the AGC, the noise reduction function is automatically activated under low light conditions to reduce noise. In pictures con- taining a moving object, this may result in an after- image.

•DNR-L is recommended for pictures containing a moving object that results in an afterimage. However, the noise slightly increases.

•DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear for AGC on the system controller setup menu.

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 sensitivi- ty 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.

3. Shutter Speed Setting (SHUTTER)

Note: 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 [Left] or [Right] as follows: The factory default setting is ---.

The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing [Left] or [Right] as shown at below:

OFFX2 AUTO X4 AUTOX6 AUTO X10 AUTOOFF

X32 FIXX16 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-D2 function is not activated auto- matically.

•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.
