Setting The Flicker-Reduction Function - Sony HDC3300R Operation Manual

To use the level indicator
Setting INDICATOR to ON displays the level
indicator on the viewfinder.
You can set the display format with the menu items
below.
MODE: Set the type and position of the indicator.
LEVEL: Set the density and the response speed of the
indicator.
GAIN: Set the sensitivity of the indicator.
OFFSET: Set the offset of the focus detection value.
1) Normally, the sensitivity of the indicator is automatically set to the
optimum value in conjunction with the AREA MARKER SIZE set
value. Use this setting when an optimum sensitivity value cannot be
obtained, depending on the shooting environment.
2) Normally, the optimum offset is automatically set in conjunction with
the AREA MARKER SIZE and MASTER GAIN set values. Use this
setting when the optimum offset cannot be obtained, depending on
the shooting environment.
To use the area marker
Setting AREA MARKER to ON displays the detection
area of the focus as a marker on the viewfinder screen.
You can set the size and position of the detection area
with the menu items below.
SIZE: The size of the detection area can be changed.
(If the area size is too large, both the subject and the
background are included in the area, making the
indicator display may easily deviate from the
subject.)

area.
POSITION H: Finely adjust the position of the
detection area in the horizontal directions.
POSITION V: Finely adjust the position of the
detection area in the vertical directions.

Setting the Flicker-Reduction
Function
With artificial lighting, particularly fluorescent lights and
mercury-vapor lamps, the brightness appears to be
constant, but in fact the strength of the red, green, and blue
components varies with the power supply frequency. This
1)
phenomenon is known as "flicker." When using the camera
2)
under such lighting conditions, there are certain cases in
which flicker is more noticeable.
The HDCU3300R Camera Control Unit in this camera
system is provided with the flicker-reduction function.
Perform the following settings if flicker is noticeable.
Note
The flicker-reduction function is available only when the
HDCU3300R is connected. This function corrects flicker
noise in 3-times normal-speed video output signals. This
function cannot be applied to the standard-speed output
from the optional modules (if any) in SLOT 1, 2, and 3 of
the CCU. Perform the settings by checking slow-motion
playback picture.
For details, refer to the Operation Manual of the camera
control unit, along with that of the camera.
