You can also switch the camera with the
CAMERA SEL button to configure different light
measurement areas for each camera.
Note
Selecting the light measurement area is enabled
only when the AE button is turned on.

Using the BRIGHTNESS knob

By rotating the BRIGHTNESS knob with the AE
function off, you can adjust the brightness
through a combination of gain and shutter speed
settings. Rotate clockwise for greater brightness
(higher gain or slower shutter speed), and rotate
counterclockwise for less brightness (lower gain
or faster shutter speed).
The setting value is displayed as an integer value
with no unit. You can reset the setting value to 0
by holding down the BRIGHTNESS knob for one
second or longer.
You can also switch the camera with the
CAMERA SEL button to adjust the brightness
separately for each camera.

Setting the total gain

Set the total gain with "Total Gain" (page 34) in
the Picture Profile menu.
Total Gain can be set from 0 to 21 dB. Greater
values select greater brightness.
Note
"Total Gain" in the Picture Profile menu cannot
be set when the AE function is on.
30 Adjusting the Brightness
When the AE function is on, the gain of the video
amp is adjusted automatically by the AGC
function, regardless of the Total Gain setting. The
Total Gain setting also changes when the
BRIGHTNESS knob is rotated with the AE
function off.
You can also switch the camera with the
CAMERA SEL button to configure the gain
separately for each camera.

Setting the electronic shutter

Using "Shutter" (page 34) in the Picture Profile
menu, you can set the shutter mode and the
shutter speed (the accumulated time that is shot
per frame).
When the AE function is on, the unit is in auto
shutter mode and the shutter speed is set
automatically according to the brightness of the
subject. Also, when the AE function is off, the
setting of "Shutter" >"ECS Frequency" changes
depending on the BRIGHTNESS value when you
rotate the BRIGHTNESS knob.
You can also switch the camera with the
CAMERA SEL button to configure the electronic
shutter separately for each camera.
Shutter modes
Speed (standard) mode
Set the shutter speed in seconds.
This mode may be especially effective when you
wish to shoot a quick-moving subject with little
blurring and to adjust the brightness.
ECS (Extended Clear Scan) mode
Set the shutter speed as a frequency.
This mode may be used when you wish to adjust
the brightness more finely than in Speed mode.
Setting the shutter mode/speed
Use "Shutter" >"Mode" (see page 34) and
"Shutter" >"Shutter Speed" (see page 34) in the
Picture Profile menu.
