Adjusting the Brightness
This unit is equipped with an AE function that
automatically adjusts the brightness to optimum
levels through a combination of settings of the
gain and shutter speed. You can also make
adjustments using the
BRIGHTNESS knob,
which also adjusts the brightness through a
combination of the gain and shutter speed
settings. However, you can also set the gain and
shutter speed separately in the [Picture] >
[Exposure] menu for special shooting conditions.
Note
If the knobs are turned too quickly, adjustments
may not be registered. Be sure to turn the knobs
slowly.
Using the AE function
To turn on the AE function, press the AUTO
button to light it. The gain and shutter speed
change automatically based on shooting
conditions, and the brightness is adjusted to
optimal settings.
The AE function adjustment level (AE level), the
adjustment mode, and the upper and lower limit
values can all be set in the [Picture] menu by
going to [Exposure] > [Mode] and selecting
[Auto] (see page 43).

Setting the AE level
The AE level sets the automatic brightness level
adjustment by specifying how much brighter or
darker it is than the standard level. Perform sets
using the
BRIGHTNESS knob or using
[Exposure] in the [Picture] menu.
To set the AE level using the
BRIGHTNESS
knob
When the AE function is on, you can also set the
AE level by turning the
BRIGHTNESS
knob. Turning the knob clockwise will raise the
AE level (brighter than the standard level), and
turning it counterclockwise will lower the AE
level (darker than the standard level).
You can reset the AE level to factory default
settings by holding down the
BRIGHTNESS
knob for one second or longer.
