nomenon and does not indicate any trouble.

DNR-L)/OFF)
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) automatically controls
the gain (an image brightness level).
Move the cursor to AGC and select automatic level
adjustment ON (DNR-H), ON (DNR-L), or OFF. The fac-
tory default setting is ON (DNR-H).
ON (DNR-H): This setting raises the gain and
brightens the image under low light conditions.
ON (DNR-L): This setting reduces an afterimage
sometimes caused by the object's movement.
OFF: This setting does not control the gain.
Notes:
• When ON (DNR-L) is selected, the noise level may
be slightly higher than the ON (DNR-H) mode..
• DNR-H and DNR-L do not appear on the system
status display of the connected equipment.
