(2) Press the CAM (SET) button to mask the cell. Moving the cursor to a cell that is already masked causes the blinking pattern of the cursor to alternate between horizontal stripes and white. Pressing the CAM (SET) button while the cursor is located at a masked cell cancels the masking of the cell. To cancel all masking areas, press the F3 button. (3) After masking all of the cells you want, press the MON (ESC) button to return to the ALC CONT menu in step 1. Notes: • When AUTO is selected for the shutter setting, fluorescent lighting may cause flickering of the picture. If this happens, select OFF or 1/100 for the shutter speed setting. • AUTO is disabled when MANUAL is selected for light control (ALC/MANUAL) and FIX is selected for electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP). (4) Gain Control (AGC) 1. Move the cursor to AGC, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a gain control setting. ON (LOW) : Low gain ON (MID) : Medium gain. This is the factory default setting. ON (HIGH) : High gain OFF : Fixed gain Note: When AGC is turned on, the noise reduction function automatically activates under low illumination to reduce digital noise. This also, however, can cause afterimages to be generated by moving objects, and 6. Move the cursor to LEVEL, and then tilt the joystick left and right to adjust the picture output level by panning and tilting the camera. For more information, see the DNR setting (page 31). (picture contrast). If you selected ON in step 3 of this procedure, best results can be obtained by setting a contrast level that is somewhat high. A contrast level that is too high, however, may increase the tendency of afterimages and noise. (5) Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP) 1. Move the cursor to SENS UP, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an electronic sensitivity enhancement setting. The electronic sensitivity enhancement setting can be changed only when OFF or AUTO is selected for Note: If operation of the system controller's IRIS (OPEN, CLOSE) button during operation is done after the menu is closed, the LEVEL on the CAMERA menu is reflected and stored for these the shutter speed (SHUTTER) setting.

(2)
Press the CAM (SET) button to mask the cell.
Moving the cursor to a cell that is already
masked causes the blinking pattern of the
cursor to alternate between horizontal stripes
and white.
Pressing the CAM (SET) button while the cursor
is located at a masked cell cancels the masking
of the cell.
To cancel all masking areas, press the F3
button.
(3)
After masking all of the cells you want, press the
MON (ESC) button to return to the ALC CONT
menu in step 1.
6.
Move the cursor to LEVEL, and then tilt the joystick
left and right to adjust the picture output level
(picture contrast).
If you selected ON in step 3 of this procedure, best
results can be obtained by setting a contrast level
that is somewhat high. A contrast level that is too
high, however, may increase the tendency of
afterimages and noise.
Note:
If operation of the system controller's IRIS
(OPEN, CLOSE) button during operation is done
after the menu is closed, the LEVEL on the
CAMERA menu is reflected and stored for these
settings. However, if the camera is in a preset
position, it is reflected as a parameter of the preset
position. To return to the initial factory default level,
execute the system controller's iris reset.
(3) Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)
1. Move the cursor to SHUTTER, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a shutter speed
setting.
Tilting the joystick cycles through the shutter speed
settings display in the sequence shown below.
(unit: sec)
When SUPER-D
3
is turned off
When SUPER-D
3
is turned on
AUTO:
This
setting,
by
moving
the
shutter
automatically when necessary, provides a
clearer picture of extremely bright objects
outdoors, etc. This is the factory default
setting.
OFF
:
Fixed at 1/60 seconds.
Notes:
• When AUTO is selected for the shutter setting,
fluorescent lighting may cause flickering of the
picture. If this happens, select OFF or 1/100 for
the shutter speed setting.
• AUTO is disabled when MANUAL is selected for
light control (ALC/MANUAL) and FIX is selected
for electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP).
(4) Gain Control (AGC)
1. Move the cursor to AGC, and then tilt the joystick
left or right to select a gain control setting.
ON (LOW)
:
Low gain
ON (MID)
:
Medium gain. This is the factory default
setting.
ON (HIGH) :
High gain
OFF
:
Fixed gain
Note:
When AGC is turned on, the noise reduction
function automatically activates under low illumination
to reduce digital noise. This also, however, can cause
afterimages to be generated by moving objects, and
by panning and tilting the camera. For more
information, see the DNR setting (page 31).
(5) Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)
1. Move the cursor to SENS UP, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select an electronic sensitivity
enhancement setting.
The electronic sensitivity enhancement setting can
be changed only when OFF or AUTO is selected for
the shutter speed (SHUTTER) setting. Tilting the
joystick cycles through the settings display in the
sequence shown below. The factory default setting
is OFF.
When SUPER-D
3
is turned off

3
is turned on
Notes:
The following are the differences between AUTO
and FIX.
AUTO:
Selecting
X32
AUTO,
for
example,
automatically increases sensitivity, up to
a maximum of 32 times.
FIX
:
Selecting
X32
FIX,
for
example,
increases sensitivity 32 times.
The FIX settings cannot be selected when the
shutter speed (SHUTTER) setting is 1/100.
• SENS UP is set to 2x automatically if it is set
higher than 2x when auto tracking starts.
Caution:
Turning on SENS UP can cause digital noise
and white spots (blemish) to appear in the picture.
