2. Light Control Setting (ALC)
2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 ON
Super Dynamic2 Function (SUPER-D2)
The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the SUPER-
D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the important object
is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would most likely be located).
The SUPER-D2 function eliminates interference by strong background lighting which makes the
camera picture dark, such as a spotlight.
1. Move the cursor to ALC and press I(S). The ALC CONT menu appears.
2. Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and select ON.
3. If you want to adjust the video output level,
move the "I" cursor for LEVEL. Adjust to the
desired level by pressing
I(L) or I(R).
