8. Digital Gain Up Setting [Digital Gain Up: 0dB, 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB, 30dB] This can be set when a setting other than "Auto" has been selected as the gain setting (6-7). 0 dB: Under normal circumstances, this setting is used. 6 dB to 30 dB: Use this setting while shooting dark scenes if it is not possible to achieve a satisfactory video output even when the lens diaphragm is opened and "Night Eye" is selected as the gain setting (6-7). 9. AGC Maximum Gain Setting [AGC Max Gain: 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB, N/Eye L, N/Eye H] (AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650) [AGC Max Gain: 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB, N/Eye] (AW-E350) This is used to set the maximum gain up when "Auto" has been selected as the gain setting (6-7). 10. CCD Storage Time setting [Charge Time: Auto, OFF, 1/30s, 1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1s, 2s] This is used to set the CCD storage time. OFF: Under normal circumstances, this setting is used. Auto: ALC is performed followed by AGC and then by the data storage, and the camera automatically adjusts the light quantity. If the electronic shutter mode setting (6-5) is set to "ELC", ELC is performed followed by ALC, AGC and then by the data storage in this order, and the light quantity is automatically adjusted. The electronic shutter mode setting (6-5) cannot be changed at this time. 1/30s to 2s: Use this setting if it is not possible to achieve a satisfactory video output even when the gain up setting is used. The electronic shutter go "OFF" at this time, the electronic shutter mode setting (6-5) and electronic shutter step/synchro scan setting (6-6) cannot be changed. ❈ If the CCD read out (mode) setting (;-9) has been set to "Frame1" or "Frame2", 1/15s to 2s is selected as the storage time setting, and the sensitivity is set to about one-half of that obtained with when the CCD read-out (mode) setting (;-9) has been set to "Field". -47-
