Default:	Outdoor	scene
Note:
	 •	 When	a	faster	shutter	speed	is	selected,	it	is	possi- ble to capture a fast moving object with less blur. 
	 •	 When	a	faster	shutter	speed	is	selected,	the	sensi- tivity will become lower. Smear also may appear 
under bright light condition.
	 •	 When	"On"	is	selected	for	"Wide	dynamic	range	 (WDR)",	only	"Outdoor	scene",	"Indoor	scene"	
(60Hz) and "Indoor scene" (50Hz) are available. 
 
[AGC]
Select a method of gain adjustment from the following.
On(High)/On(Mid)/On(Low): When the luminance of  the subject becomes darker, gain will be automati-
cally incremented and screen will become brighter. 
"High", "Mid" and "Low" are indications of gain 
level.
Off:	Images	will	be	captured	with	the	fixed	gain	level.
Default:	On(High)
[Auto slow shutter]
The electronic sensitivity enhancement (sensitivity up) 
can be carried out by adjusting the storage time of 
MOS.
The following are available for the recording duration.
Off(1/30s)	/	Max.	2/30s	/	Max.	4/30s	/	Max.	6/30s	/	 
Max.	10/30s	/	Max.	16/30s
Default:	Off(1/30s)
Important:
	 •	 When	"On"	is	selected	for	"Auto	slow	shutter",	 frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots 
(blemishes) may sometimes appear.
  Note:
	 •	 When	"Max.16/30s"	
is	selected,	for	example,	sensi-
tivity	will	automatically	be	increased	up	to	x16.
	 •	 When	"On"	is	selected	for	"AGC",	this	setting	is	 unavailable. 
 
    
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.
  Note:
	 •	 When	"On"	is	selected	for	"Wide	dynamic	range	 (WDR)", it is impossible to configure the "Adaptive 
black stretch" setting.
[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	"Wide	dynamic	range 
(WDR)", this setting is unavailable. 
The back light compensation function can compensate 
back light by setting mask areas on brighter parts of 
images brighter.
On: Mask areas will be set automatically.
Off: Mask areas will not be set automatically. It is nec- essary to set them manually.
Default:	Off
[Mask area]
When	"Off"	is	selected	for	"Back	light	compensation	
(BLC)", it is possible to compensate for backlight by 
masking brighter areas.
Refer to page 49 for information on how to set the 
mask area.
[Light control mode]
Select the light control mode from the following.
Outdoor scene: Depending on the brightness level  (illuminance), the iris will automatically be controlled 
together with the shutter speed adjustment to con-
trol light. When shooting a bright subject such as 
outdoor, etc., select this parameter. Be aware that 
flicker may occur when a subject is under fluores-
cent lighting.
Indoor scene (50 Hz)
Indoor scene (60 Hz): The shutter speed will automati- cally be adjusted to prevent flicker caused by fluo-
rescent light. Select 50 Hz or 60 Hz corresponding 
to the location where the camera is in use. 
ELC: 
SP306 SP305SP302
	 	 This	selection	is	suitable	for	use	of	a	lens	with	fixed	 iris or manual iris.

	 •	 When	shooting	a	subject	whose	major	part	is	a	 thick color
	 •	 When	shooting	blue	sky	or	sun	at	sunset
	 •	 When	shooting	a	subject	whose	luminance	is	 too low
	 •	 When	"AWC"	is	selected,	click	the	[Set]	button.

from the image of "4:3". 
    Therefore even when "16:9" is set, the brightness of 
the nondisplayed masked area will affect the image, 
it is recommended that the aspect ratio should be 
once set to "4:3" before masking. 
Image in the aspect ratio of 4:3 Areas where the image is 
not displayed when 16:9 
is selected for the aspect 
ratio
