screen. Press the E button, and
the screen at right shows up.
(2) GAIN:
With the L and R buttons, the
gain control modes can be
selected.
①
AGC
This mode is initially set to automatically optimize the sensitivity and
the noise levels.
②
HYP-AGC
This mode is higher in sensitivity than AGC.
But images may look rugged at higher sensitivities.
③
LOW
This fixed-gain mode keeps the sensitivity low for brighter spots.
④
MID
This fixed-gain mode keeps the sensitivity middle between HIGH and
LOW.
⑤
HIGH
The fixed-gain mode keeps the sensitivity high for darker spots.
(3) SENS UP
The electronic sensitivity up modes can be selected with the L and R buttons.
At all the positions but OFF, the automatic gain control function turns on
itself. The HYP-AGC mode can also be switched on.
①
OFF (initial setting)
②
S/N
The signal-to-noise ratio priority mode is used in shooting subjects that
vary in brightness and move slightly.
③
STD
The standard mode is used in shooting subjects in brightness-changing
spots to suppress both blurry images and rugged looks.
④
MOVE
The motion priority mode is used in shooting subjects that vary in
brightness and move greatly like on the street and in parking lots.
* Note: With the sensitivity multiplying factor at maximum, the motion-
dependent blurriness and ruggedness look the same in all the 3 modes.
