Sony SNC-EP520 User Manual page 37

Iris priority: The camera performs the gain adjustment
and shutter speed adjustment automatically, and you
can select the iris. When this option is selected, Iris
becomes active.
Manual: You can set the exposure manually. When this
option is selected, Shutter speed, Iris and Gain
become active.
Set the following items as required, according to the
selected exposure mode.
Backlight compensation
When you select On, the backlight compensation
function becomes effective.
DynaView (WDR)
The DynaView function reduces white-out and blackout
in high-contrast shooting scenes such as under
backlighting. When you select On, the DynaView
function becomes effective.
Notes
• When DynaView or Backlight compensation is set
to On, oscillation may occur depending on the picture.
In this case, set it to Off.
• When DynaView is set to On, the image loading rate
set in the camera operating mode is halved (SNC-
EP580/ER580/ER585/ER585H/ZP550/ZR550).
(e.g. If 30 fps is selected in the camera operating
mode, the actual image loading rate reaches up to 15
fps.)
Exposure compensation
The exposure compensation function adjusts the
brightness of the image by offsetting the exposure.
When you select On, you can select the exposure
compensation value.
Selectable values are as follows:
-1.75, -1.50, -1.25, -1.00, -0.75, -0.50, -0.25, 0,
+0.25, +0.50, +0.75, +1.00, +1.25, +1.50, +1.75

cannot be activated.
High sensitivity mode (SNC-EP550/EP580/
ER550/ER580/ER585/ER585H/ZP550/ZR550)
High sensitivity mode is engaged as regular gain is
increased, providing up to a 4× increase when gain is at
the maximum level. When you select On, the High
sensitivity mode function is activated.

Set the slow shutter. When On is selected, the auto
exposure setting including long term exposure is set to
compensate for the brightness of a scene.
