F. ISO, Gain and Dual ISO
You can also assign 3 different gain levels to the L/M/H
gain switch via:
(MENU: Shooting – ISO/Gain/EI – ISO/
Gain<L>)
etc. It should be noted that if you then use the
gain/ISO button and Multi-Function dial to set a new gain
or ISO level, this new level will be assigned to the currently
set L/M/H switch position, overriding the value set via the
menu.
To enable/disable automatic gain control press and hold
the gain button for at least 2 seconds or use direct menu
to active the gain direct menu sub menu. From here
you can set the gain to “auto”. The ISO/Gain button will
illuminate when the AGC mode is activated.
NOTE:
If using Auto gain you can set an upper gain for
the auto gain via
(MENU: Shooting – Auto Exposure
– AGC Limit)
. This may be useful to prevent excessive
amounts of gain being added automatically.
NOTE:
In Custom Mode with “dB” selected the camera
can be set between -3dB and +18dB and the smallest
step is 1dB. There is no equivalent to -3dB in ISO mode.
In ISO mode the smallest step is 1/3rd of a stop (2dB).
If using the Cine EI mode, please see the section on
“Exposure Index”.
