6 Functions

If  there  is  high  contrast 

between  the  bright  and 

dark  areas  in  a  shooting 

zone,  the  dark  area 

becomes 

less 

visible 

because 

the 

camera 

adjusts  the  iris  in  accor-

dance  with  the  bright 

area.  Conversely,  adjust-

ing the lens brightness for 

the  darker  areas  causes 

the  brighter  areas  to 

become washed out. The 

SUPER DYNAMIC function digitally combines an image that is set up for a 

clear view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view 

of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.

Note:

 •  When “ON” is selected for “SUPER-D6”, a shadow (black line) may 

appear at the boundary between a brighter area and a darker area. 

This is not an error. 

 •  When flickering or noise is observed frequently due to the illumination 

of light, select “OFF”.

   (1) When flickering or color deterioration is observed

   (2) When noise is produced in a bright area on the screen

Step 3

When  the  SUPER-D6  function  is  set  to  “OFF”,  bright  areas  of  an  image 

are masked to facilitate the visibility of dark areas.

Repeat the above procedure to mask other areas as necessary.

Note:

 •  To  cancel  the  masking,  select  the  desired  masked  area,  and  then 

press the [SET] button. The masked area will be canceled.

Step 5

Note:

 •  When “SENS UP” is set to the AUTO mode, “AGC” cannot be set to 

“OFF”.

4

 Electronic sensitivity enhancement setting [SENS UP]

Use of the electronic sensitivity enhancement function increases the light 

sensitivity  of  the  CCD,  and  accordingly  the  image  becomes  brighter. 

Meanwhile, the magnification is automatically adjusted in accordance with 

the illuminance of a photographic subject. The magnification of the elec-

tronic sensitivity is selectable from the following.

OFF/X2  AUTO/X4  AUTO 

(default)

/X6  AUTO/X10  AUTO/X16  AUTO/

X32 AUTO

Camera title setting [CAMERA ID]

Camera operation setting [CAMERA SETUP]

Note:

 •  When  the  magnification  of  “SENS  UP”  is  increased,  the  screen 

becomes coarser, more whitish, or more flawed. However, this phe-

nomenon is normal.

5

 White balance setting [WHITE BAL]

The white balance adjustment is selectable from the following.

ATW1

(default)

:  

Automatic  color  temperature  tracking  mode.  The  camera 

continuously  checks  the  color  temperature  of  the  light 

source  and  automatically  adjusts  the  white  balance.  The 

adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 

2700 K to 6000 K.

ATW2: 

 Activates  the  sodium  lamp  automatic  color  temperature  tracking 

mode.  The  camera  automatically  achieves  an  optimal  white  bal-

ance under the sodium lamp. The adjustment of the color temper-

ature ranges from approx. 2000 K to 6000 K.

Note:

 •  If the situation meets one of the following, color may not be accurate-

ly reproduced.

 • The subject is mostly highly-colored.

 •  The photographic scene is under the bright blue sky or at nightfall.

 • The illumination of the light illuminating the subject is insufficient.

AWC: 

Activates  the  automatic  white  balance  control  mode.  This  adjust-

ment  is  suitable  for  a  location  where  a  light  source  is  stable.  The 

adjustment  of  the  color  temperature  ranges  from  approx.  2000  K 

to 10000 K.

When “AWC” is selected, follow the steps below to adjust the white bal-

ance.

Step 3

Press the [Right] button to select “AWC”. Refer to the content below for 

fine adjustment of the white balance.

Note:

 •  The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2000 K 

to  10000  K.  If  the  range  is  out  of  this  adjustment  range  or  lighting 

directed at subject is too weak, the white balance may not be adjust-

ed. In such a case, “AWC

Fine adjustment of the white balance

The white balance is manually fine adjusted after the white balance auto-

matic  adjustment  in  the  automatic  color  temperature  tracking  mode 

(ATW1, ATW2) or automatic white balance control mode (AWC).
