Freeze, Automatic Gain Control & Sensitivity
The settings for Automatic Gain Control (AGC) affect the brightness and
picture levels of the video produced by the camera. AGC amplifies existing
video to help the camera reproduce a video signal at low light levels.
Sensitivity controls adjust how the camera works in low light conditions.
· FREEZE: Freezes the Field or the Frame in a still mode until you select
Off, or until you move the camera with the remote control.
· AGC Levels: Selects the base level of gain control used when automatic
gain control is on.
· SENS: Changing the sensitivity changes how the camera compensates
for low light. The higher the setting is called "Starlight" Mode (square
cursor to the right). In this mode the camera lets more light in when in
the dark, and a better picture results.
1. After following step A, B, and C on page 23 to bring up the main
menu, use the down arrow to select AGC·SENS.
2. Select AGC·SENS with the Right arrow button.
3. Use the Down arrow button to select SENS.
4. Select it with the Right arrow button.
5. Use the Up arrow button to move square cursor to the right (most
sensitive to light). Or the Down arrow button to move the cursor to the
left. The new setting takes several second to stabilize.
6. Save the new setting with the Right arrow button.
7. Press the Left arrow button to repeatedly to back out of the menus.

Color Settings
The options in the color settings menu control the appearance of the video
picture you get from the camera.
· ATW: Adjusts the settings for Auto Trace White Balance (ATW). ATW
automatically adjusts the picture to accurately show white in response
to varying light conditions. Change the setting towards R (red) or B
(blue) to tell the ATW how to adjust for your specific light conditions
more accurately.
· AWB: Auto White Balance works with ATW to maintain accurate
levels of white in the video from the camera. Change the setting towards
R (red) or B (blue) to tell the AWB how to adjust for your specific light
conditions more accurately.
· R Gain: Adjusts the saturation of red in the video produced by the
camera. Set this to higher levels to correct for low levels of red in your
picture, or vice versa.
· B Gain: Adjusts the saturation of red in the video produced by the
camera. Set this to higher levels to correct for low levels of blue in your
picture, or vice versa.
