Note
•When “On” is selected for “Super Dynamic(SD)”, “Adaptive black stretch” is unavailable.
[Back light compensation (BLC)]
Select “On” or “Off” to determine whether or not to activate the back light compensation (BLC) function. When
“On” is selected for “Super Dynamic(SD)”, this setting is unavailable.
The back light compensation function can compensate back light by setting mask areas on brighter parts of
images.
•On: Mask areas will be set automatically.
•Off: Mask areas will not be set automatically. It is necessary to set them manually.
•Default: Off
[Mask area]
When “Off” is selected for “Super Dynamic(SD)” and “Back light compensation (BLC)”, it is possible to
compensate for backlight by masking brighter areas. Refer to page 106 for information about how to configure
the mask area.
[Light control mode]
Select the light control mode from the following.
•Indoor scene (50 Hz) / Indoor scene (60 Hz): The shutter speed will automatically be adjusted to prevent
flicker caused by fluorescent light. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz corresponding to the location where the camera
is in use.
•ELC(Maximum exposure time): The lighting control will be automatically performed by adjusting shutter
speed in the range of ELC.
ELC(1/30s)/ ELC(3/100s)/ ELC(3/120s)/ ELC(2/100s)/ ELC(2/120s)/ ELC(1/100s)/ ELC(1/120s)/
ELC(1/250s)/ ELC(1/500s)/ ELC(1/1000s)/ ELC(1/2000s)/ ELC(1/4000s)/ ELC(1/10000s)
•Default: ELC(1/30s)
Note
•When a faster shutter speed is selected (up to 1/10000), it is possible to capture a fast moving object
with less blur.
•When a faster shutter speed is selected, the sensitivity will become lower.
•When “On” is selected for “Super Dynamic(SD)”, only “Indoor scene (60 Hz)”, “Indoor scene (50 Hz)”,
or “ELC(1/30s)” is available.
[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
automatically increased 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)
[Auto slow shutter]
The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up) can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of the
sensor.
The following are available for the recording duration.
Off(1/30s), Max.2/30s, Max.4/30s, Max.6/30s, Max.10/30s, Max.16/30s
•Default: Off(1/30s)
IMPORTANT
•When “On” is selected for “Auto slow shutter”, frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots
(blemishes) may sometimes appear.
