Panasonic WV-CF254 - Manual (Page 18)

-16-
2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D ON
Super Dynamic Function (SUPER-D)
The important object in a scene is usually placed in
the center of the monitor’s screen. In SUPER-D
mode, more photometric weight is given to the cen-
ter of the screen (where the important object is
located) than to the edge of the picture (where a
bright backlight would most likely be located). You
can use the SUPER-D function if you select ALC. It
eliminates interference by strong background light-
ing which makes the camera picture dark, such as
a spotlight.
1. Press (S) after selecting ALC. The ALC
CONT menu appears.
2. Move the cursor to the SUPER-D parameter
and select ON.
3. If you want to adjust the video output level,
move the cursor to the “I” position. Adjust to
the desired level by pressing
(L) or
(R).
4. Move the cursor to RET and press (S) to
return to the CAM SETUP menu. (To return to
the camera picture, move the cursor to END
and press
(S).)

screen. The cursor is blinking in the top left
corner of the screen.

bright and press (S) to mask that area.
The mask turns white. (When the cursor is
moved on an area that has already been
masked, the mask and cursor start blinking.)
