SETTINGS

Backlight compensation setting

Use an auto-iris lens and set the switch 4 to the up (ON) position, to engage the backlight compensation function.

This camera has two different backlight correction functions: multi-spot photometry

(MULT) and center focus photometry (CENT). The normal setting (switch 3) is the down (MULT) position, but you can change the switch 3 setting in accordance with the backlight conditions.

• MULT mode: Use this position when applying backlight

compensation to the whole of the screen.

• CENT mode: Use this position when applying backlight

compensation to only the central portion of the screen.

Note:

• When using the backlight compensation function, set the switch 4

to the up (ON) position. When not using the function, set the switch 4 to the down (OFF) position.

• When MULT mode is set, scenes with no backlighting may appear

extremely dark and the object may appear over-exposed. If this happens, move the switch 3 to the up (CENT) position.

(MULTI mode: 64 sections)

(CENT mode)

If using a VIDEO type auto-iris lens

• The ALC volume on the lens should be turned all the way to Av

(Average).

• If the backlight compensation function does not compensate

properly for the conditions, set using the LEVEL volume on the lens.
