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 sensitiv-
ity is raised to just X32.
The factory default setting is OFF.
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 L or M as
shown below:
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 auto-
matically.
While the SENS UP function is selected, noise,
spots or a whitening phenomenon may appear in
the picture when the sensitivity of the camera is
increased. This is a normal phenomenon.
6. White Balance Setting (WHITE BAL)
6-1. Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW)
You can select one of three modes for white balance
adjustment as follows:
The factory default setting is ATW1.
ATW1 (Auto-Tracing White Balance 1)
Move the cursor to WHITE BAL and select ATW1.
In this mode, the colour temperature is monitored
continuously and thereby white balance is automat-
ically set. The colour temperature range for the
proper white balance is approximately 2 600 -
6 000 K. Proper white balance may not be obtained
under the following conditions:
1. The colour temperature is out of the 2 600 - 6 000 K
range.
2. When the scene contains mostly high colour tem-
perature objects, such as a blue sky or sunset.
3. When the scene is dim.
In these cases, select the AWC mode.
•ATW2 (Auto-Tracing White Balance 2)
Auto-tracing white balance in the sodium lamp
mode (ATW2)
When you select ATW2 for sodium lamp, white bal-
ance is automatically set (no operation needed).
Note: ATW1 and ATW2 do not appear for WHITE
BAL on the system controller setup menu.
Automatic White Balance Control Mode (AWC)
In this mode, accurate white balance is obtained
within a colour temperature range of approximately
2 300 - 10 000 K.
