Notes:
• The result of field setup of the mask area and level adjustment is fed back (effected) to the lens
iris control in ALC mode.
• Select OFF for SUPER-D2 on the ALC CONT menu when using only for outdoors.
If ON is selected for the SUPER-D2 parameter, a shadow (black line) may appear at the boundary
between the bright and the dim scene. This is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate trou-
ble.
(3) Shutter Speed (SHUTTER)
You can select the shutter speed from 1/50 (OFF), 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1 000, 1/2 000, 1/4 000, and
1/10 000 seconds.
See page 38 for the setting.
(4) Gain Control (AGC)
You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic adjustment [Automatic Gain
Control ON (LOW, MID, HIGH)] or fixed (Automatic Gain Control OFF).
See page 38 for the setting.
(5) Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)
The electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP) function varies the shutter speed to raise the sen-
sitivity in low light conditions when OFF is selected for ALC.
You can select the shutter speed for SENS UP from the preset values as follows:
1/25 seconds (x2), 1/12.5 seconds (x4), 1/8.3 seconds (x6), 1/5 seconds (x10), 1/3.1 seconds (x16),
or 1/1.6 seconds (x32).
See page 38 for the setting.
There are two modes for SENS UP as follows:
AUTO:
If you select x32, for example, the sensitivity is raised automatically to x32 max.
FIX:
If you select x32, for example, the sensitivity is raised to just x32.
Notes:
• Moving objects will appear blurred when shot during the electronic sensitivity enhancement
mode since SENS UP is equivalent to setting the shutter speed to a slower speed in a still picture
camera.
• The horizontal and vertical resolution will be lowered in this mode.
• If the video output level is adjusted too low (the iris opening is too small), the Electronic
Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)/AUTO mode will not function.
(6) Synchronization (SYNC)
You can select internal sync mode (INT) or line-lock sync (LL). Additionally, this model accepts the
VD2 signal (multiplexed vertical drive signal with the composite video output signal) from a specified
component. Whenever the VD2 signal is supplied to this camera, the camera automatically switches
to the VD2 sync mode.
When you select line-lock sync (LL) you can set vertical phase adjustment.
See page 39 for the setting.
Important Notices:
The priority of sync modes is as follows:
1. Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2) (Highest)
2. Line-lock (LL)
3. Internal Sync (INT) (Lowest)
Note:
The priority of automatic sync mode is the same as shown above.
