ATW1: Auto tracing white balance mode
The camera will constantly check the color tempera-
ture of the light source and adjust the white balance
automatically.
Operating color temperature range is approx.
2 700 K – 6 000 K.
ATW2: Auto tracing white balance under a sodium
lamp. The camera will adjust the white balance auto-
matically under a sodium lamp.
Operating color temperature range is approx.
2 000 K – 6 000 K.
AWC: Auto white balance control mode
Suitable for shooting where the light source is fixed
and the light intensity is constant. Operating color
temperature range is approx. 2 000 K – 10 000 K.
Default: ATW1
Notes:
• Under the following conditions, color may not be
faithfully processed. In these cases, select "AWC".
• When shooting a subject whose major part is a
thick color
• When shooting blue sky or sun at sunset
• When shooting a subject whose luminance is too
low
• After selecting "AWC", click the [ADJUST] but-
ton. It will take for around 7 seconds to complete
the white balance adjustment.
[Red Gain]
Adjust the red color of images.
When the cursor is moved in the "+" direction, the red
color will become thicker. When the cursor is moved in
the "–" direction, the red color will be thinner. Click the
[RESET] button to reset the color to the default.
[Blue Gain]

the "–" direction, the blue color will be thinner. Click the
[RESET] button to reset the color to the default.
[Mask area]
When "OFF" is selected for "Super Dynamic 3", it is
possible to compensate for backlight by masking the
brighter area.
Refer to page 35 for descriptions of how to mask.
[Shutter]
Select the shutter speed from the following.
AUTO: Provides clearer images of bright objects out-
doors since the shutter speed is adjusted automati-
cally. Flickering caused by fluorescent lamps can
also be compensated.
OFF: Fixed at 1/60 sec
1/100: Recommended when flickering caused by fluo-
rescent lamp appears frequently.
Default: AUTO
Depending on the environment, flickering may not be
compensated even when selecting "AUTO". When flick-
ers appear frequently, set the shutter speed to "1/100".
[AGC]
Select a method of gain adjustment from the following.
ON (HIGH)/ON (MID)/ON (LOW): When the luminance
of the subject becomes darker, gain will be automati-
cally incremented and screen will become brighter.
"HIGH", "MID" and "LOW" are indications of gain
level.
OFF: Images will be captured with the fixed gain level.
Default: ON (HIGH)
[Sensitivity up]
The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up)
can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of CCD.
The following are available for the sensitivity up.
OFF/x2 AUTO/x4 AUTO/x6 AUTO/x10 AUTO/
x16 AUTO/x32 AUTO
Default: OFF
Note:
When "x32 AUTO" is selected, for example, sensitiv-
ity will automatically be increased up to x32.
Important:
When the sensitivity up function is active, frame rate
may become lower. Noise or white dots (blemishes)
may sometimes appear.
