(1) ALC Mode with BLC ON
In normal use, the important object in a scene is
placed in the centre of the monitor screen. When
set at the factory, more photometric weight is given
to the centre of the screen than to the edge of the
screen (where bright backlight would most likely be
located). In such a case, the object at the centre of
the screen can be still clearly seen even though the
backlight may vary.
1. Press the CAM (SET) key after selecting ALC.
The ALC CONT menu appears.
2. Move the cursor to the BLC and select ON.
3. If you want to adjust the video output level,
move the "I" cursor for LEVEL. Adjust it to the
desired level by using the joystick.
4. Move the cursor to RET and press the CAM
(SET) key to return to the CAM SET UP menu.
To return to the camera picture, press the [F4]
button.
(2) ALC Mode with BLC OFF
This mode is effective when the main object in the
scene is not located in the centre of the screen but
a source of bright light is located near the centre of
the scene. In this mode, the picture is divided into
48 areas that mask the light to keep the clarity of
the picture.
Note: The result of field setup of the mask area and
level adjustment is fed back (effected) to the
lens iris control in ALC mode.
1. Move the cursor to the BLC and select OFF.
When you select MANUAL, BLC is not avail-
able. MASK SET appears on the menu.
