2. Light quantity control method selection [ALC/ELC]
The method of controlling the quantity of light is selected from the following in accordance with the lens to be used.
ALC (default): The iris of the lens is automatically adjusted in accordance with the brightness of a subject. Select "ALC" when using
the SUPER-D5 function or when using an ALC lens. Refer to the following when configuring the SUPER-D5 settings.
ALC+: Controls the quantity of light with a combination of the electronic shutter and auto iris. This selection is suitable at shooting a
bright subject such as an outdoor subject with auto iris lens. Be aware that flicker may occur when a subject is under fluorescent
lighting.
ELC: Controls the quantity of light with the electronic shutter. This selection is suitable for use of a lens with fixed iris or manual iris.
SUPER-D5 (super dynamic function)
If there is high contrast between the bright and dark areas in a shooting zone, the
dark area becomes less visible because the camera adjusts the iris in accordance
with the bright area. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas
causes the brighter areas to become washed out.
The SUPER DYNAMIC function digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear
view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view of the darker
areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.
SUPER-D5 setting
When "ALC/ELC" is set to "ALC", the SUPER-D5 function is available.
Follow the procedure below.
Step 1
Set "ALC/ELC" to "ALC" and press the setting button.
→The "ALC CONT" screen appears.

Camera system setting [SYSTEM SETUP]
Performs the settings relating to the camera system such as synchronization, and privacy zone.
The following settings can be configured on the "SYSTEM SETUP" screen displayed from the top screen. Refer to page 5 for how to
call up the screen.
10. Synchronization method selection [SYNC]
This unit supports the following 3 types of synchronization methods, and one of the following is selected.
(1) Multiplexed vertical drive signal (VD2)
(2) Synchronization is performed on the basis of the power supply frequency.
(3) Internal synchronization (INT) (default)
Input of a multiplexed vertical drive signal (VD2) automatically switches to the VD2 synchronization even if the camera is set to other
than the VD2 synchronization method.
When other than the VD2 synchronization is selected, either the power supply synchronization or internal synchronization can be
selected.
