N1101-1121 V8QA5931BN Printed in Japan N 19 For U. S. A CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. [. . . ] This is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate trouble. 3. Shutter Speed Setting (SHUTTER) Note: To select electronic shutter speed, select OFF for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu. Move the cursor to SHUTTER and select the electronic shutter speed. The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing I(L) or I(R) as follows: The factory default setting is ---. OFF 1/10000 1/100 1/4000 1/250 1/2000 1/500 1/1000 4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON (DNR-L, DNR-H)/OFF) You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic level adjustment. Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L) or fixed level (OFF). ON (DNR-L): Selects lower noise reduction level. ON (DNR-H): Selects higher noise reduction level. OFF (Fixed Level): Disables the gain control function. The factory default setting is ON (DNR-H). Notes: · If ON (DNR-H) is selected for the AGC, the noise reduction function is automatically activated under low light conditions to reduce noise. In pictures containing a moving object, this may result in an afterimage. · DNR-L is recommended for pictures containing a moving object that results in an afterimage. · DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear for AGC on the system controller setup menu. 5. Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP) There are two modes for SENS UP. AUTO: If you select X10 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is automatically raised to X10 max. When AUTO is selected, AGC is automatically set to ON. FIX: If you select X32 FIX, for example, the sensitivity is raised to just X32. Move the cursor to SENS UP and select the parameter for electronic sensitivity enhancement. The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing I(L) or I(R) as shown right: OFF X32 FIX X2 AUTO X16 FIX X4 AUTO X10 FIX X6 AUTO X6 FIX X10 AUTO X4 FIX X2 FIX OFF Notes: · When ON is selected for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu, FIX is not available for this item. · When you select AUTO for SENS UP and ON for SUPER-D2, the SENS UP function has priority so that the SUPER-D2 function is not activated automatically. · While the SENS UP function is selected, noise, spots or a whitish phenomenon may appear in the picture when the sensitivity of the camera is increased. [. . . ] AUTO1: The camera selects black and white mode if the picture is dark, or color mode if the picture is bright enough. AUTO2: Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunction when using a source of near-infrared light at night because the illuminance changes significantly when switching between the color picture and a black-and-white picture. This can be prevented by using the AUTO2 setting to detect the type of light source. Notes: · Because the type of light source is detected based on information received from the CCD image pickup element, an object that is constantly moving or has the same color as its background may not always be properly recognized.
