Panasonic WV-CW474F - Manual (Page 6)

2-2. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 OFF
1. Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and
select OFF. The MASK SET appears on
the menu.
2. Move the cursor to MASK SET and
press
I(S). The 48 mask areas
appear on the monitor screen. The cur-
sor is blinking in the upper left corner
of the screen.
3. Move the cursor to the area where
backlight is bright and press
I(S) to
mask that area. The mask turns to
white. (When the cursor is moved on
an area that has already been masked,
the mask and cursor start blinking.)
4. Repeat step 3 to mask the desired
area. To cancel masking, move the
cursor to that area and press
I(S).
5. After masking is completed, press
I(S) for 2 seconds or more. The ALC
CONT menu appears.
6. If you want to change the video output
level (picture contrast), move the “I”
cursor for LEVEL and adjust the level.
Note: If ON is selected for SUPER-D2, a shadow (black line) may appear at the boundary
between the bright and the dim scene. This is a natural phenomenon and does not indi-
cate trouble.
3. Shutter Speed Setting (SHUTTER)
Note: To select electronic shutter speed, select OFF for SUPER-D2 in the ALC CONT menu.
Move the cursor to SHUTTER and select the electronic shutter speed.
The preset values for SHUTTER (electronic shutter speed) change by pressing
I(L) or
I(R) as follows:
The factory default setting is ---.
4. Gain Control Setting (AGC ON (DNR-L, DNR-H)/OFF)
You can set the gain (brightness level portion of an image) to automatic level adjustment.
Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L) or
fixed level (OFF).
ON (DNR-L): Selects lower noise reduction level.
ON (DNR-H): Selects higher noise reduction level.
OFF (Fixed Level): Disables the gain control function.
The factory default setting is ON (DNR-H).
Notes:
• If ON (DNR-H) is selected for the AGC, the noise reduction function is automatically
activated under low light conditions to reduce noise. In pictures containing a moving
object, this may result in an afterimage.
• DNR-L is recommended for pictures containing a moving object that results in an after-
image. However, the noise slightly increases.
• DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear for AGC on the system controller setup menu.
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 sensitivity is raised to just X32.
The factory default setting is OFF.
Move the cursor to SENS UP and select the parameter for electronic sensitivity enhance-
ment.
The preset values for SENS UP (electronic sensitivity enhancement) change by pressing
I(L) or I(R) as shown right:
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 automatically.
• While the SENS UP function is selected, noise, spots or a whitish phenomenon may
appear in the picture when the sensitivity of the camera is increased. This is a normal
phenomenon.
