Switching The Gain - Ikegami Editcam 3 DNS-33W Operation Manual

5.6 Switching the Gain

When shooting the camera under the conditions such as in
evening, night time, or indoor use, the gain (sensitivity) of
the camera needs to be adjusted to suit subjects with different
brightness.
5.6.1 Switching the Gain on the Camera
Allocate a gain value to each of "L" (LOW), "M" (MID) and
"H" (HIGH) switch position of the GAIN SELECT switch on
the right side of the camera in advance. Switch the setting
depending on the shooting environment.
The gain values -3, 0, +3, +6, +9, +12, +18, +24, +30, +36,
+42, and +48 dB can be selected from the Menu. (Any value
can be allocated to the switches as long as the values are in
the following relationship: "L"<"M"<"H".)
The normal position of the GAIN switch is "L".

5.6.2 Activating the HYPER GAIN
When temporarily shooting the dark part during the normal
shooting, a clear image may not be shot because of the low
gain. In such a case, the HYPER GAIN can be activated.
1. Press and hold the HYPER GAIN switch on the right side
of the camera for more than 2 seconds.
This operation turns the HYPER GAIN "ON". The value
of the gain is determined as follows according to the
setting value set in the "HYPER GAIN" of the "LOW/
MID/HIGH GAIN MODE" submenu.
Selected Mode
+30dB +30dB
+36dB +36dB
+42dB
+42dB
+48dB +48dB
SEL(30-36)dB Switch of +30dB and +36dB
SEL(30-42)dB Switch of +30dB, +36dB, and +42dB
SEL(30-48)dB Switch of +30dB, +36dB, +42dB, and +48dB

Notice
When the HYPER GAIN function is activated, the
noise component increases as well as the gain
becomes high. The HYPER GAIN switch must be
pressed and held for 2 seconds or more in order to
prevent accidental operation.
2. Switch the value from +30dB to +48dB.
When the "HYPER GAIN" of the "LOW/MID/HIGH
GAIN MODE" submenu is set to "SEL(30-36dB)",
"SEL(30-42dB)", or "SEL(30-48dB)", the range of the
gain can be switched.
Pressing and holding the HYPER GAIN switch (ON) for
2 seconds or more changes the value previously set. At
this time, the GAIN indication on the VF flashes. While
it flashes, pressing the HYPER GAIN switch again
switches the setting as +30dB→+36dB→+42dB→+48dB
→+30dB (in the case of SEL30-48dB).
3. Return to the gain mode of the normal setting.
To return to the gain mode of the normal setting, press
the HYPER GAIN switch again.
Notice
When the "HYPER GAIN" of the "LOW/MID/HIGH
GAIN MODE" submenu is set to "SEL(30-36dB)",
pressing the HYPER GAIN switch while the gain
value indication on the VF screen is flashing
switches the value from +30dB to +48dB; on the
other hand, pressing the HYPER GAIN switch while
the indication is not flashing returns to the
mode of the normal setting.
5.6.3 Activating the HYPER GAIN from the
Remote Controller
RM-11 selects the gain value from 0dB, "MID", and "HIGH"
(the values of "MID", and "HIGH" are set by the camera).
For details on this operation, refer to the instruction manuals
attached to the remote controllers.
Notice
When a remote controller is connected, the
operation of the remote controller has priority over
the operation switches on the camera (When the
SEMI REMOTE mode is set to "OFF").
