Move the cursor to SHUTTER and select the electronic shutter speed. The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing I(L) or I(R) as follows: The factory default setting is ---. OFF 1/100 1/250 1/500 1/10000 1/4000 1/2000 1/1000 4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON (DNR-L, DNR-H)/OFF) You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic level adjustment. Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L) or fixed level (OFF). ON (DNR-L): Selects lower noise reduction level. ON (DNR-H): Selects higher noise reduction level. OFF (Fixed Level): Disables the gain control function. The factory default setting is ON (DNR-H). Notes: • If ON (DNR-H) is selected for the AGC, the noise reduction function is automatically activated under low light conditions to reduce noise. In pictures containing a moving object, this may result in an afterimage. • DNR-L is recommended for pictures containing a moving object that results in an afterimage. However, the noise slightly increases. • DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear for AGC on the system controller setup menu. 5. Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP) There are two modes for SENS UP. AUTO: If you select X10 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is automatically raised to X10 max. When AUTO is selected, AGC is automatically set to ON. FIX: If you select X32 FIX, for example, the sensitivity is raised to just X32. The factory default setting is OFF. Move the cursor to SENS UP and select the parameter for electronic sensitivity enhancement. The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing I(L) or I(R) as shown right: OFF X2 AUTO X4 AUTO X6 AUTO X10 AUTO OFF X32 FIX X16 FIX X10 FIX X6 FIX X4 FIX X2 FIX Notes: • When ON is selected for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu, FIX is not available for this item. • When you select AUTO for SENS UP and ON for SUPER-D2, the SENS UP function has priority so that the SUPER-D2 function is not activated automatically. • While the SENS UP function is selected, noise, spots or a whitish phenomenon may appear in the picture when the sensitivity of the camera is increased. This is a normal phenomenon.
