Basic Adjustments and Settings

If a format that is not prefixed with S has been selected, a

value is indicated in parentheses and cannot be changed.

COMPENSATION

Either mode can be activated. Simultaneous activation of

both modes is not permitted.

•

ANGLE: Angle Compensation mode

When you change the FPS setting with this mode set to

OFF, the shutter frequency is compensated while

maintaining the current shutter angle setting.

If this mode is set to ON, the current shutter angle is

compensated maintaining the current shutter frequency

setting when you change the FPS setting. The video level

is also maintained at a certain level.

Set this mode to ON to reduce flicker at a specific

frequency when you change the frame rate.

•

With ANGLE ON, the frame rate cannot be changed to

lower values if the shutter angle comes to near 0º, and it

cannot be changed to higher values if the shutter angle

comes to near 360º.

•

When you activate Angle Compensation mode, the

camera automatically enters Variable Shutter mode.

•

GAIN: Gain Compensation mode

By setting this mode to ON at low FPS settings, you can

obtain an image with motion blur if desired, and superior

S/N ratio.

In addition, as the video level is maintained at a certain

level even if the frame rate is changed, this mode may be

useful when testing which FPS value yields the most

desired motion blur effect.

Care must be taken when shooting a high-contrast subject,

as the dynamic range (latitude) may be degraded to

maximum depending on the selected video format or FPS.
