11 Configure the settings relating to images and audio [Image/Audio]

[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.

Note

When “Max.16/30s” is selected, for example, sensitivity will automatically be increased up to x16. When “Off” is selected for “AGC”, this setting is unavailable.

[Day & Night(IR)]

Select switching between the color mode and the black & white mode from the following.

Off: The color mode is selected.

On: The black & white mode is selected.

Auto1(Normal): The camera automatically switches between the color mode and the black & white mode in accordance with picture brightness (luminance). The black & white mode will automatically be selected when the lighting condition becomes darker, while the color mode will automatically be selected when it becomes brighter.

Auto2(IR Light): Suitable when using near-infrared light source at night.

Auto3(Super Chrome Compensation(SCC)): Suitable to keep the color mode even under darker light condition.

The color mode will be carried on by the Super Chrome Compensation (SCC) function even under illumination that is lower than Auto1(Normal).

Default: Auto1(Normal)

Super Chrome Compensation (SCC) function

This function achieves faithful color images using the proprietary color compensation technology that reproduce images even under low illumination where it is usually difficult to capture objects faithfully.

Note

The operating sound might be heard when changing to black-and-white mode, however it does not indicate any malfunction.

Since the color compensation technology is used for Auto3(Super Chrome Compensation(SCC)), some colors may look different from the actual objects depending on the light condition.

[Level]

Select the threshold illuminance level (brightness) to switch between the color mode and the black & white mode.

The descriptions about the following threshold illuminance levels are given when “Off” is selected for “Super Dynamic(SD)”.

When “Day & Night(IR)” is set to “Auto1(Normal)” or “Auto2(IR Light)”
