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).
