[Light control mode]
Select the light control mode from the following.
Indoor scene (50 Hz)
Indoor scene (60 Hz):
Flicker caused by fluorescent lighting will be auto- matically compensated. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz cor- responding 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(1/8000s)*1/ ELC(1/10000s)*2 Default: ELC(1/30s)
Note:
•The shorter the maximum exposure time is
1/8000s*1, 1/10000s*2), the higher possibility to capture a fast moving object with less blur.
•When a faster shutter speed is selected, the sensi- tivity will become lower. When a faster shutter speed is selected, flickering may happen.
•In case flickering happens, it may be improved by configuring the following settings.
In the area of 50 Hz power supply frequency:
3/100s, 2/100 s, 1/100s
In the area of 60 Hz power supply frequency:
3/100s, 2/120 s, 1/100s
When flickering still remains, set
•Under extremely strong lighting, flickering may hap- pen even when "Indoor scene" is selected for "Light control mode".
When the brightness (illuminance) level on the screen is set to a relatively low level with the
[Brightness] buttons, flickering may frequently hap- pen.
•In such cases, either of the following can reduce flickering.
•Moderate the illumination intensities of objects by changing the camera direction.
•Set the brightness (illuminance) level on the screen to a brighter level with the [Brightness] buttons.
*1 SP105
*2 SP102
[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)
[Auto slow shutter]
The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up) can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of MOS.
The following are available for the recording duration. Off(1/30s), Max. 2/30s, Max. 3/30s*2, Max. 4/30s, Max. 6/30s*1, Max. 8/30s*2, Max. 10/30s*1, Max. 16/30s*1 Default: Off(1/30s)
*1 SP105
*2 SP102
Important:
•When "On" is selected for "Auto slow shutter", frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots (blemishes) may sometimes appear.
Note:
•When "Max. 16/30s" is selected, for example, sen- sitivity will automatically be increased up to x16.
•When "Gain" is set to "Off" or ELC (maximum expo- sure time) is set to other than 1/30, "Auto slow shut- ter" is set to Off (1/30 s).
[Simple black & white mode]
Select switching between the color mode and the black
&white mode from the following. Off: The color mode is selected.
Auto: Switches from color to
Default: Off
[White balance]
Select a method of white balance adjustment from the following.
White color can be adjusted by "Red gain" and "Blue gain".
