3-9 Detailed Shutter
Settings
The Electronic Shutter function of this camera enables
shooting with various shutter angles and shutter speeds
(sec).
While the basic settings of the shutter can be made on the
subdisplay, the <SHUTTER/FPS> page of the USER
(PAINT) menu permits you to set the shutter while
observing the shutter angle, the shutter speed (sec), and the
frame rates at a glance.
<SHUTTER/FPS> page
SHUTTER
To activate the electronic shutter, set this to ON.
The currently selected shutter angle is displayed in the
[deg] column. In the [sec] column, the speed (sec)
converted according to the selected frame rate is displayed.
STEP (Step mode)
To select a value registered as a step shutter, move the
cursor on this line.
Turn the MENU SEL/ENTER dial to display a registered
shutter value in the [deg] and [sec] columns one after
another in order.
CONTINUOUS (Continuous mode)
To fine-adjust the selected step shutter value or use a value
that has not been registered as a step shutter, move the
cursor on this line.
The values in the [deg] and [sec] columns will change
continuously when the MENU SEL/ENTER dial is turned.
STEP ASSIGN
Addition and deletion of step shutter values can be
performed in the same way as with the SHUTTER
ASSIGN page (see page 34) of the USER (OPERATION)
menu.
• ADD
For registering a shutter value displayed in the [deg]
column in Continuous mode as a new step shutter value. If
eight step shutter values have been already registered,
“STEPS FULL” will be displayed, and the value will not
be added. In such a case, delete an unneeded step shutter
value beforehand, using DELETE.
• DELETE
For deleting the step shutter value displayed in the [deg]
column in Step mode.
For additional information of the step shutter, see “3-2-2
Shutter Settings” on page 33.
FRAME RATE
Select the frame rate (number of frames per second) if a
format of “Select FPS” is selected.
The selecting range depends on the formats, as follows:
If a format other than formats of “Select FPS” has been
selected, the value is indicated in parentheses and cannot
be changed.
COMP MODE
This camera enables you to compensate for changes in the
video level when the FPS value is changed.
Two compensation modes are provided: one that depends
on shutter angles and another that depends on electric gain.
• ANGLE: Angle Compensation mode
When you change the frame rate, the shutter angle is
automatically corrected, retaining the video level.
• In Angle Compensation mode, the frame rate cannot be
changed to a lower value if the shutter angle comes to
near 0º, and it cannot be changed to a higher value if the
shutter angle comes to near 360º.
• When you activate Angle Compensation mode, the
shutter setting is automatically set to ON.
• GAIN: Gain Compensation mode
When you change the frame rate, the electric gain is
automatically corrected, retaining the video level.
The current shutter angle setting is maintained.
• Care must be taken when shooting a high-contrast
subject, as the dynamic range (latitude) may be degraded
to
1
/
2
at maximum, depending on the selected video
format or FPS.
• With the default settings, the range of the frame
frequencies that can be selected with the Select FPS
