It is possible to register 2 patterns of scene file. For example, when different settings are to be applied between day and night,
SCENE1 can be applied in the daytime and SCENE2 at night.
Change between the scene files can be made on the shortcut operation. (+page 30)
"SCENE1" is set as the default setting.
Step 1
After confirming that "SCENE1" is selected, configure the settings of "ALC" through "i-VMD". (+pages 9 - 20)
When using while changing the scene files, go to step 2.
Step 2
Move the cursor to "SCENE1" and use the right or left button to select "SCENE2".
→The "COPY(SCENE1)" screen will be displayed.
Step 3
To configure the settings of "SCENE2" using the settings of "SCENE1", press the setting button after moving the cursor to
"COPY(SCENE1)".
→The settings of "SCENE1" will be copied to "SCENE2".

2. Light quantity control method selection [ALC]
The method of controlling the quantity of light is selected from the following.
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.
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" is selected, the SUPER-D5 function is available.
Follow the procedure below.
Step 1
Select "ALC" and press the setting button.
→The "ALC CONT" screen appears.
Note:

Step 2
Move the cursor to "SUPER-D5" and select the item from the following:
ON (default): Activates the SUPER-D5 function all the time. (+page 10)
ON (i-VMD): Activates the SUPER-D5 function all the time. (+page 10)
In addition to the SUPER-D5 function, the motion detection function also works.
OFF: Deactivates the SUPER-D5 function. (+page 10)
