[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 29 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.
[Black & white mode]
Select switching between the color mode and the black & white mode.
ON: The black & white mode is selected.
OFF: The color mode is selected.

color mode and the black & white mode in accor- dance with picture brightness (luminance). The black
&white mode is selected when lighting is low, while the color mode is selected for bright lighting.
Default: OFF
Note:
•This camera can easily judge the light source by the information of the CCD image capture elements. Sometimes the light source cannot be judged when a moving subject or the entire screen is constantly a fixed color.
[LEVEL]
Set the level of light at which black & white mode is switched to.
HIGH: The black & white mode is switched to when the lighting around the camera is approximately 5 lx or lower.
LOW: The black & white mode is switched to when the lighting around the camera is approximately 2 lx or lower.
Default: HIGH
[Wait time]
Select the interval before switching between the color mode and black & white mode from the following.
10 sec/30 sec/1 min/5 min Default: 30 sec
[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.
