Basic Functions Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode by steps of 1.5 dB. EXPOSURE 0E 0D 0C 0B 0A 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 Comp Value +10.5 dB +9 dB +7.5 dB +6 dB +4.5 dB +3 dB +1.5 dB 0 dB -1.5 dB -3 dB -4.5 dB -6 dB -7.5 dB -9 dB -10.5 dB Step +7 +6 +5 +4 +3 +2 +1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 Aperture Control Aperture control is a function which adjusts the enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture. There are 16 levels of adjustment, starting from "no enhancement." When shooting text, this control may help by making the text sharper. Back Light Compensation When the background of the subject is too bright, or when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE mode, back light compensation will make the subject appear clearer. Checking the Location of the Camera for Signals from the IR Remote Commander The supplied Remote Commander may not work correctly near inverter lighting fixtures. Good IR detection can be verified to determine proper camera location. While the camera is being initialized after the power is turned on by connecting the camera to an AC outlet using the AC power adaptor and AC power cord, or by using a VISCA command, the camera detects whether or not the camera is able to receive infrared signals from the Remote Commander. You can check the result of this operation via the IR_ConditionInq command (see page 30). When the installation location does not allow stable reception, try to install the camera farther away from the inverter lighting fixtures. Others Power On/Off Powers the camera on and off. When the power is off, the camera is able to accept only the lowest level of VISCA Commands and POWER of the Remote Commander; the display and other features are turned off. I/F clear Clears the Command buffer of the camera. Clearing the buffer can also be carried out from the control application software when the power is on. Address set VISCA is a protocol, which normally can support a daisy chain of up to seven attached devices. Therefore, whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be sure to use the address set to confirm the address. Camera ID The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside the camera, data will be saved, regardless of the "position preset." 11
