SHUTTER PRI: Shutter Priority mode. This mode allows you to set a fixed shutter SPEED with exposure
achieved by automatic setting of IRIS, GAIN LIMIT, and EX-COMP. When you select one from various
exposure modes, some of the following setting items that are required for the selected mode will be
displayed.
GAIN: Select the gain from the following:
•
0dB, 3.6 dB, 7.1 dB, 10.7 dB, 14.3 dB, 17.8 dB, 21.4 dB, 25 dB, 28.6 dB, 32.1 dB, 35.7 dB, 39.3 dB,
42.8 dB, 46.4 dB, 50 dB
GAIN LIMIT: The gain limit can be set at Full Auto, Shutter Priority, Iris Priority, Bright, Spot Exposure
and Manual in AE mode. This is useful to limit the automatic setting of gain which can lead to excessive
image noise at extreme settings.
HIGH SENSITIVITY: This function increases the max gain to allow bright output in darker environ-
ments. However, with a strong gain (up to 10×), the captured image will contain a lot of noise.
SPEED: When video format is set to 720P25, 1080P50, 1080i50, 1080P25 or 720P50, shutter speed can
be selected from the following:
•
1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/120, 1/150, 1/215, 1/300, 1/425, 1/600, 1/1000,
1/1250, 1/1750, 1/2500, 1/3500, 1/6000, 1/10K.
When video format is set to 720P30, 1080i59.94, 1080P29.97, 720P59.94, 1080P59.94, 1080I60, 1080P30,
1080P60 or 720P60, shutter speed can be selected from the following:
•
1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/90, 1/100, 1/125, 1/180, 1/250, 1/350, 1/500, 1/725, 1/1000,
1/1500, 1/2000, 1/3000, 1/4000, 1/6000, 1/10K.
IRIS: Select the iris the following: CLOSE, F14, F11, F9.6, F8.0, F6.8, F5.6, F4.8, F4.0, F3.4, F2.8, F2.4, F2.0,
F1.6.
SLOW SHUTTER: When set to “On,” the slow shutter functions automatically in low light conditions.
This setting is available only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.” The default setting is Off.
S. SHUTTER LIMIT: With certain settings, in low light conditions, the shutter speed slows and the gain is
increased. This function allows you to limit the shutter speed reduction. This helps prevent image shake
when shooting a moving subject in low light conditions.
AE RESPONSE: The slow AE Response function allows you to reduce the exposure response speed. By
default, optimum exposure can be obtained automatically within approx. 1 second. The slow AE re-
sponse function allows you to lengthen this response time.
EX-COMP (Exposure Compensation): When MODE is set to FULL AUTO, SHUTTER PRI or IRIS PRI,
setting EX-COMP to ON allows exposure compensation levels to be set from the following values:
•
–10.5, –9, –7.5, –6, –4.5, –3, –1.5, 0, +1.5, +3, +4.5, +6, +7.5, +9, +10.5.
Setting the level to 0 disables exposure compensation. Level +10.5 is the brightest and –10.5 is the
darkest compensation value. When EX-COMP is set to OFF, exposure compensation is disabled.
