Auto:   The light quantity is adjusted automatically.
–6 dB to –1 dB:
     This setting makes it possible to shoot at the 
optimal gain setting under conditions where the 
light quantity is high. When it is used, images with 
minimal noise can be shot but the dynamic range 
is reduced.
0 dB:  0 dB should be selected in normal cases.
1 dB to 18 dB:
     Use this range if sufficient video output cannot 
be obtained even when the lens iris is opened in 
shooting dark scenes.
