Flickering

Due to the influence of lighting, flickering may sometimes happen. In this case, select “Indoor
scene” for “Light control mode”. Select “Indoor scene(50 Hz)” or “Indoor scene(60 Hz)” in accor­dance with the power supply frequency in your locality. Refer to the Operating Instructions (included
in the CD-ROM) for further information about the setting.
Under extremely strong lighting, flickering may happen even when “Indoor scene” is selected for
“Light control mode”. When the brightness (illuminance) level on the screen is set to a relatively low
level with the [Brightness] buttons, flickering may frequently happen. In such cases, either of the fol­lowing can reduce flickering.

Moderate the illumination intensities of objects by changing the camera direction.

⿟

Set the brightness (illuminance) level on the screen to a brighter level with the [Brightness] buttons

⿟

.

White-out on images caused by the effect of light control mode

When “Indoor scene” is selected for “Light control mode”, the tone of the brighter parts on the
screen may be deteriorated than the case when “ELC” is selected.

Color blurring on detailed drawing patterns

When there are detailed drawing patterns on images, color blurring may happen over these parts.
