Manual Gain Up Manual setting is possible only when the Auto Gain Up setting is “OFF”.
0 dB: 0 dB should be selected in normal cases.
1 dB to 30 dB: Use this range if sufficient video output cannot be obtained even when the lens iris is
opened in shooting dark scenes.
Night Eye L: Use this setting if it is not possible to achieve a satisfactory video output at 30 dB.
Night Eye H: Use this setting if it is not possible to achieve a satisfactory video output even at the
Night Eye L setting.

tory video output even when the lens diaphragm is opened and “Night Eye” is selected as the Man-
ual Gain Up setting.

Auto: ALC is performed followed by AGC and then by the data storage, and the camera automati-
cally adjusts the light quantity.
If “ON” is selected as the Auto ND (ELC) setting, ELC is performed followed by ALC, AGC and then
by the data storage in this order, and the light quantity is automatically adjusted. The Shutter Speed
cannot be changed.
OFF: Under normal circumstances, this setting is used.
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.
