Basic Functions
Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the
internal reference brightness level used in the AE
mode by steps of 1.5 dB.
Data Step
Setting value
0E 7 10.5 dB
0D 6 9 dB
0C 5 7.5 dB
0B 4 6 dB
0A 3 4.5 dB
09 2 3 dB
08 1 1.5 dB
07 0 0 dB
06 –1 –1.5 dB
05 –2 –3 dB
04 –3 –4.5 dB
03 –4 –6 dB
02 –5 –7.5 dB
01 –6 –9 dB
00 –7 –10.5 dB
Aperture Control
Aperture control is a function which adjusts the
enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture.
There are 16 levels of adjustment, starting from “no
enhancement.” When shooting text, this control may
help by making the text sharper.
Back Light Compensation
When the background of the subject is too bright, or
when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE
mode, back light compensation will make the subject
appear clearer.
Slow Shutter – Auto/Manual
When the Slow Shutter is set to “Auto,” this ensures
that the slow shutter is engaged automatically when the
brightness drops. This occurs only when the AE mode
is set to “Full Auto.”
“Slow Shutter Manual” is the factory setting.
Camera ID
The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this
will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside
the camera, data will be saved regardless of whether it
has been backed up.
Effect
It consists of the following functions.
• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal
• Black White: Monochrome Image
Others
Mirror Image
The video output from the camera can be reversed left
and right using this function.
Freeze
This function captures an image in the field memory of
the camera so that this image can be output
continuously.
Because communication inside the camera is based on V
cycle, the captured image is always the one 3V to 4Vs after
the sending of a Command. Thus, you can not specify a time
period after sending EVEN, ODD or a Command.
