Resuming The Standard Conditions - Sony F23 Operation Manual

If a format that is not prefixed with S has been selected, a
value is indicated in parentheses and cannot be changed.
COMPENSATION
Either mode can be activated. Simultaneous activation of
both modes is not permitted.
• ANGLE: Angle Compensation mode
When you change the FPS setting with this mode set to
OFF, the shutter frequency is compensated while
maintaining the current shutter angle setting.
If this mode is set to ON, the current shutter angle is
compensated maintaining the current shutter frequency
setting when you change the FPS setting. The video level
is also maintained at a certain level.
Set this mode to ON to reduce flicker at a specific
frequency when you change the frame rate.
Notes
• With ANGLE ON, the frame rate cannot be changed to
lower values if the shutter angle comes to near 0º, and it
cannot be changed to higher values if the shutter angle
comes to near 360º.
• When you activate Angle Compensation mode, the
camera automatically enters Variable Shutter mode.
• GAIN: Gain Compensation mode
By setting this mode to ON at low FPS settings, you can
obtain an image with motion blur if desired, and superior
S/N ratio.
In addition, as the video level is maintained at a certain
level even if the frame rate is changed, this mode may be
useful when testing which FPS value yields the most
desired motion blur effect.
Note
Care must be taken when shooting a high-contrast subject,
as the dynamic range (latitude) may be degraded to
maximum depending on the selected video format or FPS.
