2. Light Control Setting (ALC/ELC)

You can select the mode for adjusting the lens iris.
ALC: If you use a auto iris lens, select this parameter.
ELC: If you use a fixed or manual iris lens, select this
parameter.
The factory default setting is ALC.
1. Move the cursor to ALC/ELC.
2. Select ALC or ELC.
Cautions:
1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors,
use an ALC type lens because the ELC control
range is not wide enough under these conditions.
2. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena
occur:
• Strong smear and/or blooming on highlight
objects such as spotlight or sunlight from win-
dows.
• Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color
rendition variations.
3. If ELC is selected, SUPER-D2 and SHUTTER are
not available and white balance mode is automati-
cally set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.
4. If ELC is selected for ALC/ELC and a fixed iris lens
is used, the focal depth becomes shallower than
with the ALC type lens. Therefore, the range of
focus-to-object distance becomes narrower.
2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 ON
Super Dynamic2 Function (SUPER-D2)
The important object in a scene is usually placed in the
center of the monitor screen. In the SUPER-D2 mode,
more photometric weight is given to the center of the
screen (where the important object is located) than to
the edge of the screen (where bright backlight would
most likely be located). You can use the SUPER-D2
function if you select ALC. It eliminates interference by
strong background lighting which makes the camera
picture dark, such as a spotlight.
1. Select ALC, and press I. The ALC CONT menu
appears.
2. Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and select ON.
