2-2. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 OFF and ELC Mode
Note: If ELC is selected, set MASK SET according to this procedure.
1. Move the cursor to the SUPER-D2
parameter and select OFF. (When you
select ELC, SUPER-D2 is not avail-
able.) The item MASK SET appears on
the menu.
2. Move the cursor to MASK SET and
press . 48 mask areas appear on
the monitor screen. The cursor is blink-
ing in the upper left corner of the
screen.
3. Move the cursor to the area where
backlight is bright and press to
mask that area. The mask turns to
white. (When the cursor is moved on
an area that has already been masked,
the mask and cursor start blinking.)
4. Repeat step 3 to mask the desired
area. To cancel masking, move the
cursor to that area and press .
5. After masking is completed, press
for 2 seconds or more. The ALC CONT
menu appears.
6. If you want to change the video output
level (picture contrast), move the “I”
cursor for LEVEL and adjust the level.
Note: 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 trouble.
3. Shutter Speed Setting (SHUTTER)
Note: When ELC is selected for ALC/ELC on the CAM SET UP menu or ON is selected for
SUPER-D2 on the ALC CONT menu, this item is not available.
To select electronic shutter speed, select OFF for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu.
Move the cursor to the SHUTTER parameter and select the electronic shutter speed.
The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing or
as shown at below:
4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON/OFF)
You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic level adjustment
(ON) or fixed level (OFF).
Move the cursor to the AGC parameter and select automatic level adjustment (ON) or fixed
level (OFF).
Note: If ON is selected for the AGC parameter, 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.
5. Electronic Sensitivity Enhancement (SENS UP)
There are two modes for SENS UP.
AUTO: If you select X10 AUTO, for example, the sensitivity is raised automatically 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 the SENS UP parameter and select the parameter for electronic sensitivi-
ty enhancement.
The preset values for SENS UP
(electronic sensitivity enhancement)
change by pressing or as
shown right:
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. This is a normal
phenomenon.
6. Synchronization Setting (SYNC)
You can select internal sync mode (INT) or line-lock mode (LL). Additionally, this model
accepts the VBS signal (color composite video or blackburst signal) and VS signal (B/W
composite video or composite sync signal). The VD2 signal (multiplexed vertical drive sig-
nal) with the composite video output signal from external equipment such as a Matrix
Switcher is also acceptable.
Whenever the VD2 signal is supplied to this camera, the camera automatically switches to
the VD2 sync mode.
