Menu Settings
The values for shooting, output, etc., can be set or changed
using the menu displayed on the monitor screen.
In the following example of basic operation, we will alter
the gain setting. The same procedure is used for setting
other parameters. For an explanation of the parameters, see
“Setting contents” ( pages 44 to 47). You need not to set
the parameters again the next time you use the camera.
Once a parameter is set, it is stored in the camera’s
memory and is retained even when the power is turned off.
Example: Altering the Gain Parameter
When the object is insufficiently illuminated and the image
appears dark even when the iris is wide open, you can
obtain an image of suitable brightness by adjusting the
gain.
