SHUTTER LIMIT, AE RESPONSE, GAIN LIMIT, and EX-COMP.
Manual
:
Allows manual adjustment of the GAIN, GAIN LIMIT, shutter speed (SPEED), iris (IRIS), and HIGH SENSITIVITY.
Iris Pri: Iris Priority mode. This mode allows you to set a fixed IRIS with exposure achieved by automatic setting of
SPEED, GAIN LIMIT, and EX-COMP.
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.
Bright: The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness
level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by gain when dark, and by iris when bright. As both gain and iris
are fixed, this mode is used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching from Full Auto or Shutter
Priority Mode to Bright Mode, the current status will be retained for a short period of time.
