■ Setting and Changing of the Setting (Halogen Mode, Fluorescent Mode, Outdoor Mode)

Brightness Set Display

1. Video Level Adjustment [Picture Level: –50 to +50]

Convergence level of AUTO IRIS/AUTO GAIN UP/ AUTO ND (ELC) can be adjusted.

2. Detecting Ratio Adjustment

[Light PEAK/AVG: P50 to A50]

The ratio of AUTO IRIS/AUTO GAIN UP/AUTO ND (ELC) detected peak to average can be adjusted within a predetermined range.

3. Photometric Measurement Method Setting

[Light Area: All, Center, Top cut, BTM cut, R/L cut]

A photometric measurement method can be selected for AUTO IRIS/AUTO GAIN UP/AUTO ND (ELC).

All: All the screen area is measured. Center: The screen is measured mainly in the center

area, about one-third of both the top and bottom and one-third of both the right and left portions of the screen are excluded from measurement.

Top cut: About one-third of the top part of the screen

is excluded from measurement.

BTM cut: About one-third of the bottom portion of the

screen is excluded from measurement.

4. Auto ND (ELC) Setting [Auto ND (ELC): ON, OFF]

This cannot be set unless either “OFF” or “Auto” has been set for the CCD storage time setting (1-9).

ON: The electronic shutter is controlled to automati-

cally adjust the luminance.

OFF: Luminance is not automatically adjusted by the

electronic shutter.

5. Auto Gain Up Control Setting [Auto Gain Up: OFF, ON]

This cannot be set when “Auto” has been set for the CCD storage time setting (1-9).

OFF: The light quantity is not adjusted

automatically.

ON: The light quantity is adjusted automatically.

The maximum to which the gain can be increased using the auto gain up function is selected by the AGC maximum gain setting (1-6).

6. AGC Maximum Gain [AGC Max Gain: 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB, N/Eye L, N/Eye H] (AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650) [AGC Max Gain: 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB, N/Eye] (AW-E350)

This is used to set the maximum amount to which the gain can be increased when “ON” has been selected as the auto gain up setting (1-5).

7. Manual Gain Up Control Setting [Manual Gain Up: 0 dB to 30 dB, N/Eye L, N/Eye H] (AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650) [Manual Gain Up: 0 dB to 30 dB, N/Eye] (AW-E350)

Manual setting is possible only when the Auto Gain Up control (1-5) is in the OFF position.

0 dB: 0 dB should be selected in normal cases. 1 dB to 30 dB: Use this range if sufficient video out-

put cannot be obtained even when the lens iris is opened in shooting dark scenes.

AW-E750, AW-E655, AW-E650 Night Eye L: Use this setting if it is not possible to

achieve a satisfactory video output even at 30 dB.

Night Eye H: Use this setting if it is not possible to

achieve a satisfactory video output even at the Night Eye L setting.

AW-E350 Night Eye: Use this setting if it is not possible to

achieve a satisfactory video output even at 30 dB.

• In case of settings on the camera alone or when the iris switch on the RCU (RCB) is at [AUTO], the Auto Gain Up control may not operate if the lens iris switch is in the manual position.

• When the AGC switch on the hybrid control panel is set to AGC, the Auto Gain Up control operates in the HIGH position.

9. CCD Storage Time Setting [Charge Time: Auto, OFF, 1/30s, 1/15s, 1/8s, 1/4s, 1/2s, 1s, 2s]

This is used to set the CCD storage time.

Auto: ALC is performed followed by AGC and then

by the data storage, and the camera automatically adjusts the light quantity. If “ON” is selected as the auto ND (ELC) setting (1-4), ELC is performed followed by ALC, AGC and then by the data storage in this order, and the light quantity is automatically adjusted. The electronic shutter setting (5-2) cannot be changed.

OFF: Under normal circumstances, this setting is

used.

1/30s to 2s: Use this setting if it is not possible to

achieve a satisfactory video output even when the gain up setting is used. The auto ND (ELC) setting (1-4) and electronic shutter setting (5-2) go “OFF” and cannot be changed.

❈ If the images (CCD read out (mode) setting

(5-4)) have been set to “Fine”, 1/15s to 2s is selected as the storage time setting, and the sensitivity is set to about one-half of that obtained with when they have been set to “Normal”.

• Only 0 dB, 9 dB, or 18 dB can be selected in case of using the RCU (RCB).

• 0 dB when the manual GAIN switch on the hybrid control panel is at LOW, 9 dB when it is at MID, or 18 dB when it is at HIGH.

Notes

8. Digital Gain Up Setting [Digital Gain Up: 0dB, 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, 24dB, 30dB]

This can be set only when “OFF” has been selected as the auto gain up setting (1-5).

0 dB: Under normal circumstances, this setting is

used.

6 dB to 30 dB: Use this setting while shooting dark

scenes if it is not possible to achieve a satisfactory video output even when the lens diaphragm is opened and “Night Eye” is selected as the manual gain up setting (1-7).
