Note • The exposure settings (iris, shutter speed, gain, etc.) are automatically adjusted for Portrait, Sports, Low Light, and Spotlight. White balance and image quality cannot be operated. • In Portrait and Sports mode, the captured video may not appear smooth or may flicker. • For precautions regarding shooting in Low Light, refer to "About Shooting with Slow Shutter" (P. 23). [AE Shift] When one of the [Shutter Mode], [Gain] and [Iris] is set to auto, the exposure can intentionally be compensated to capture subjects either at a brighter or darker exposure. Move the slider knob or click or to change the value. Note In infrared shooting, [AE Shift] cannot be set. [Shutter Mode] Adjusting the shutter speed enables to adapt to the shooting environment, making it possible to capture fast-moving subjects (sports, vehicles, etc.) clearly and brighten low-light scenes, etc. Shutter speed can be adjusted in the following modes: [Auto (sec.)] Automatically adjusts the shutter speed according to the brightness of the video. [Speed (sec.)] Sets the shutter speed to seconds. The shutter speed can also be set to a value higher than the frame rate. Move the slider knob or click or to change the value. [Slow (sec.)] Sets the shutter speed slower than the frame rate to seconds. This setting is used for shooting in low-light areas. Also, special effects such as "blurring the background" and "adding residual image effects to zoom" are available for shooting a moving subject with pan operation. Move the slider knob or click or to change the value. For precautions regarding shooting, refer to "About Shooting with Slow Shutter" (P. 23). [Clear Scan (Hz)] Sets the shutter speed by frequency. This is used to reduce black bands on the screen, flickering from fluorescent lighting, and to fine tune the brightness. Move the slider knob or click or to change the value. Note When shooting in [Slow (sec.)], the focus may not work well in autofocus. [Gain] Able to set the amplification amount of the video amplifier. Move the slider knob or click or to change the value. Also, this value is automatically adjusted when [Auto] is turned on. Note • Increasing the gain may cause a slightly grainy screen. Also, irregular colors, white dots, and vertical lines may appear on the screen. • In infrared shooting, [Gain] cannot be set. [Iris] Adjusts the iris (aperture) according to the brightness of the subject. Move the slider knob or click or to change the value. Also, this value is automatically adjusted when [Auto] is turned on. Note • The aperture value that can be set differs depending on the zoom position. Reference aperture value is displayed on the screen. • By changing the depth of field and blur the background or surroundings to make the subject stand out, set a smaller iris value, and to keep everything from close objects to far-away objects in focus, set a larger iris value. • If the iris is narrowed down when shooting in a bright location, this can cause blurring. It is possible to prevent blurring by adjusting the shutter speed or ND filter and opening the iris. • When [AUTO] of the iris setting is turned off, the aperture value of Auto is taken. It does not restore to the aperture value set before [AUTO]. • In infrared shooting, [Iris] is fixed open. [ND Filter] The ND filter allows to open the iris for a video with shallow depth of field even in a bright environment. This is also convenient for avoiding blur caused by a small iris when narrowing down the iris. 22
