(ELC) can be adjusted.
(P50 to A50) The ratio of AUTO IRIS/AUTO GAIN up/AUTO ND (ELC)
detected peak to average can be adjusted within a predetermined range.
A photometric measurement method can be selected for AUTO IRIS/AUTO
GAIN UP/AUTO ND (ELC).
ALL: All the screen area is measured.
Center: The screen is measured mainly in the center area, about
one-third of both the top and bottom and one-third of both the right
and left portions of the screen are excluded from measurement.
Top Cut: About one-third of the top part of the screen is excluded
from measurement.
BTM Cut: About one-third of the bottom portion of the screen is
excluded from measurement.
