IMPORTANT
•
When "On" is selected for "Adaptive black stretch", noise in the darker parts may be increased, and
parts around borders between the darker parts and the brighter parts may become darker/brighter than
the other darker/brighter parts.
[Back light compensation (BLC)]
Select "On" or "Off" to determine whether or not to activate the back light compensation (BLC) function. When
"On" is selected for "Super Dynamic(SD)", this setting is unavailable.
The back light compensation function can compensate back light by setting mask areas on brighter parts of
images.

•
Default: Off
[Mask area]
When "Off" is selected for "Super Dynamic(SD)" and "Back light compensation (BLC)", it is possible to
compensate for backlight by masking brighter areas.
Refer to page 92 for information on how to set the mask area.
[Light control mode]
Select the light control mode from the following.
•
Indoor scene (50 Hz) / Indoor scene (60 Hz): The shutter speed will automatically be adjusted to prevent
flicker caused by fluorescent light. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz corresponding to the location where the camera
is in use.
•
ELC(Maximum exposure time): The lighting control will be automatically performed by adjusting shutter
speed in the range of ELC.
ELC(1/30s)/ ELC(3/100s)/ ELC(3/120s)/ ELC(2/100s)/ ELC(2/120s)/ ELC(1/100s)/ ELC(1/120s)/
ELC(1/250s)/ ELC(1/500s)/ ELC(1/1000s)/ ELC(1/2000s)/ ELC(1/4000s)/ ELC(1/10000s)
•
Default: ELC(1/30s)
Note
•
The shorter the maximum exposure time is, the more accurately it is possible to capture a fast moving
object with less blur.
•
When a faster shutter speed is selected, the sensitivity will become lower.
•
Flickering may occur depending on the "ELC(Maximum exposure time)" setting.
In case flickering happens, it may be improved by configuring the following settings.
In the area of 50 Hz power supply frequency:
–
ELC(3/100s), ELC(2/100s), ELC(1/100s)
In the area of 60 Hz power supply frequency:
–
ELC(3/120s), ELC(2/120s), ELC(1/120s)
When flickering still remains, set flicker-less mode.
