Select the light control mode from the following.
•
Outdoor scene:
Depending on the brightness level (illuminance), the iris will automatically be controlled
together with the shutter speed adjustment to control light. When shooting a bright subject such as outdoor,
etc., select this parameter. Be aware that flicker may occur when a subject is under fluorescent lighting.
•
Indoor scene (60 Hz) / Indoor scene (50 Hz):
The shutter speed will automatically be adjusted to prevent
flicker caused by fluorescent light. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz corresponding to the location where the camera
is in use.
•
Fix shutter:
The selected value will be set as the fixed shutter speed.
1/30 Fix, 3/100 Fix, 3/120 Fix, 2/100 Fix, 2/120 Fix, 1/100 Fix, 1/120 Fix, 1/250 Fix, 1/500 Fix, 1/1000 Fix,
1/2000 Fix, 1/4000 Fix, 1/10000 Fix
•
Default:
Outdoor scene
Note
•
When a faster shutter speed is selected (up to 1/10000), it is possible to capture a fast moving object
with less blur.
•
When a faster shutter speed is selected, the sensitivity will become lower. Smear also may appear
under bright light condition.
•
When “On” is selected for “Wide dynamic range”, “Fix shutter” is not available. To configure “Fix
shutter”, set “Wide dynamic range” to “Off”.

Indoor scene (50 Hz) / Indoor scene (60 Hz):
The shutter speed will automatically be adjusted to prevent
flicker caused by fluorescent light. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz corresponding to the location where the camera
is in use.
•
ELC(Maximum exposure time):
The lighting control will be automatically performed by adjusting shutter
speed in the range of ELC.
ELC(1/30s)/ ELC(3/100s)/ ELC(3/120s)/ ELC(2/100s)/ ELC(2/120s)/ ELC(1/100s)/ ELC(1/120s)/
ELC(1/250s)/ ELC(1/500s)/ ELC(1/1000s)/ ELC(1/2000s)/ ELC(1/4000s)/ ELC(1/10000s)
•
Default:
ELC(1/30s)
Note
•
The shorter the maximum exposure time is, the more accurately it is possible to capture a fast moving
object with less blur.
•
When a faster shutter speed is selected, the sensitivity will become lower.
•
When a faster shutter speed is selected, flickering may happen.
In case flickering happens, it may be improved by configuring the following settings.
In the area of 50 Hz power supply frequency: ELC(3/100s), ELC(2/100s), ELC(1/100s)
In the area of 60 Hz power supply frequency: ELC(3/120s), ELC(2/120s), ELC(1/120s)
When flickering still remains, set flicker-less mode.
•
Under extremely strong lighting, flickering may happen even when “Indoor scene” is selected for “Light
control mode”.
When the brightness (illuminance) level on the screen is set to a relatively low level with the [Brightness]
buttons, flickering may frequently happen.
