Turn this control anticlockwise to reduce the volume. Setting this control to the minimum position mutes the alarm tone. 2 [MONITOR] Audio monitor volume control Adjusts the volume of the monitoring loudspeaker and earphone. The audio is muted when this control is set to the minimum position. 3 [STATUS] Status/menu button Pressing this button in the normal screen mode (condition when menu is not shown) displays a status screen in the viewfinder. The displayed status mode changes each time the button is pressed. See "Status Screens" on page 25. Pressing this button for more than 1 second in the normal screen mode displays the Camera Menu screen in the viewfinder. Pressing this button while the menu screen is displayed in the viewfinder makes the menu screen disappear. See "How to Select from the Camera Menu" on page 71. 4 [SHUTTER/MENU] dial • Pressing this dial once in the normal screen mode (condition when menu is not shown) displays the shutter speed for approximately 5 seconds. When this dial is turned upwards while the shutter speed is displayed, the shutter speed becomes slower. When turned downwards, the shutter speed becomes faster. The selected shutter speed is memorised for each file. To return the memorised shutter speed to the factory preset, press the dial one more time while the shutter speed is displayed. • When this dial is turned upwards or downwards while the menu screen is displayed, the cursor (>) also moves upwards or downwards to allow selection of items in the menu. To change the setting value of the item, press this dial. When the setting value starts blinking, turn this dial upwards or downwards to change the setting. See "How to Select Camera Menus" on page 71. 12 5 [LOLUX] LOLUX On/Off button This button toggles the LOLUX mode on and off. • LOLUX gain gives extremely low light level sensitivity for special applications. This will result in an increase of 33 dB (approximately 45 times) in the LOLUX mode. • LOLUX operation takes priority over normal gain setting. • If the unit is placed in the LOLUX mode when it is in full auto shooting mode, the auto level control (ALC) (one of the full auto shooting functions) will be made inactive, so that the LOLUX mode is given preference (FAW still remains active). See "GAIN BOOST UNDER LOLUX CONDITION" on page 82. 6 [BLACK] Black stretch/black compression switch Switches the gain for the dark section of the image. Set to an appropriate position depending on the video signal to be shot. STRETCH : By stretching the signal only for the dark section, contrast in the dark portion of the image is enhanced. NORMAL : Standard mode. COMPRESS : When an entire image is relatively light and the contrast is low, the gain of the dark section is compressed to increase the contrast. 7 [FULL AUTO] Full auto shooting ON/OFF button and indicator • This switch toggles the full auto shooting function on and off. • The indicator lights when in the full auto mode. • Full auto shooting combines the auto iris, auto level control (ALC) to automatically adjust the video signal level and the white balance to their optimum levels. • The iris is placed in automatic mode even if the iris mode switch of the lens is in manual. • The gain will vary continuously to the maximum of +12 dB. The shutter speed will vary continuously to the minimum of 1/240 of a second. See "Full Auto Shooting (FAS) function" on page 83.
