WV-CL920A/CL924A SA 1966 WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. [. . . ] Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC type lens because the ELC control range is not wide enough under these conditions. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur: · Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight objects such as spotlight or sunlight from windows. · Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations. If ELC is selected, SHUTTER is not available. Back Light Compensation (BACK LIGHT COMP) Back light compensation is available for both the ALC and ELC modes. It eliminates strong background lighting which makes the camera picture dark, such as a spotlight. You can select one of two modes (PRESET ON or PRESET OFF) of back light compensation. 2-1. ALC Mode with PRESET ON In normal use, the important object in a scene is placed in the center of the monitor's screen. In the factory setup mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the important object is located) than to the edge of the picture (where a bright backlight would most likely be located). In this mode, the object at the center of the screen will always be clearly visible regardless of backlight variations. Note: If ELC is selected, set LEVEL according to this procedure. ** CAM SET UP ** CAMERA ID OFF ALC/ELC ALC SHUTTER OFF AGC ON(DNR-H) SENS UP OFF SYNC INT WHITE BAL ATW1 MOTION DET OFF LENS DRIVE DC END SET UP ENABLE 1.
