qg GAIN selector

This selector switches the gain of the video amplifier to match the lighting conditions during shooting. The gains corresponding to the L,

2 M, and H settings are selected from the setup menu before use. The factory settings are L = 0 dB, M = 9 dB, and H = 18 dB.

Note that if the display mode (see 4-8-3) is set to 3 when this selector is adjusted, the new setting will be indicated on the setting change/ adjustment progress message display area of the viewfinder screen for about 3 seconds (e.g. GAIN: 12 dB).

For information about setting the gain values, see Section 4-9-1 “Setting the GAIN Selector Values” (page 4-77).

This switch activates the adjustment functions of the white balance and black balance.

WHT: Automatic adjustment of the white balance. If the WHITE BAL switch is set to A or B, the white balance setting is stored in the corresponding memory. When the ATW setting is selected in the setup menu, the white balance setting adjusted with this switch is not stored in memory. The Auto White balance is deactivated while the WHITE BAL switch is set to PRST.

BLK: Automatic adjustment of the black set and the black balance. The setting is stored in a separate memory.
