Mid High
[Set values: OFF, Low, Mid, High]
Memo
With a moving object, the higher the noise reduction (as you select Low Mid High), the more likely there will be an afterimage.
White Balance
For selecting the white balance control feature.
ATW-Wide:
Switches to the Auto-Tracking White Balance (automatic color temperature tracking) Wide mode. Adjusts the white balance automatically according to the color temperature of the light. (Color temperature: 2500 K to 8500 K)
ATW-Narrow:
Switches to the Auto-Tracking White Balance (automatic color temperature tracking) Narrow mode. Adjusts the white balance automatically according to the color temperature of the light. (Color temperature: 3200 K to 8000 K)
ATW-Full:
The Auto-Tracking White Balance (automatic color temperature tracking) adjusts the white balance automatically in a wide color temperature range according to the color temperature of the lighting.
AWC:
Selects the Auto-White Balance Control (AWC) mode. In the AWC mode, values entered for the [AWC R-Gain] and [AWC B-Gain] items are applied to white balance.
By pressing the [OnePushAWC] button, this unit saves all the changes on the [Camera] page. Next, the white balance setting is switched to the AWC mode, and the white balance is automatically adjusted to the optimal setting for the current image. The results are reflected in the [AWC R-Gain] and [AWC B-Gain] fields.
[Set values: ATW-Wide, ATW-Narrow,
Memo
To execute [OnePushAWC], fill the screen completely with a white object in a location with lighting conditions similar to those of the subject you are going to shoot.
Depending on the subject and lighting condition, you may not achieve the desired white balance even if you have performed [OnePushAWC] once. In this case, perform [OnePushAWC] again.
AWC R-Gain
Sets the gain of R (red) when in the AWC mode. A larger value increases the redness and a smaller value decreases the redness.
[Set values: 0 to 107 to 255]
AWC B-Gain
Sets the gain of B (blue) when in the AWC mode. A larger value increases the blueness and a smaller value decreases the blueness.
[Set values: 0 to 168 to 255]
AGC
Sets the AGC (automatic gain control) level. You can adjust the brightness of image according to the object brightness.
OFF:
When the AGC function is not in use.
Mid:
When the amount of light is insufficient.
High:
When the amount of light is particularly insufficient.
[Set values: OFF, Mid, High]
Memo
If
The screen appears grainy at dark locations when the AGC feature is in use.
Sense Up
This function is used to raise the sensitivity level by lengthening the exposure time.
You can specify the number of times by which the sensitivity level is to be increased automatically when the object becomes dark.
When “x16” is selected, the sensitivity level will automatically increases continuously until it is 16 times the level when “OFF” is selected.
[Set values: OFF, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32]
Memo
When the sensitivity is increased, the shutter speed drops and a moving object appears unnatural.
Upon raising the sensitivity level, the screen may appear white, or white dots may occur, or noise may become more visible. However, this is not a malfunction.
If Shutter Speed is set to 1/50 to 1/10000, Sense Up can only be set to “OFF”.
Note
When Sense Up is set to a value other than “OFF”, flickers occur under the light of fluorescent or mercury lamps. This is not a malfunction of the camera, but is due to principles related to Sense Up.
Priority
Sets the priority of ALC (function for maintaining the video level according to the object brightness).
Combo:
Selects the best combination automatically.
Motion:
Assigns priority to AGC (automatic gain control). This is suitable for shooting fast-moving objects.
Quality:
