Notes
-
The upper limit you can select for the AGC (Auto Gain Control) depends on the status of the camcorder.
-
When the camcorder is set to the movie recording mode, the upper limit is 24 dB.
-
When the camcorder is set to the photo shooting mode, the upper limit is 21 dB.
-
When the camcorder is set to use [Smth Slw REC], the upper limit is 15 dB.
-
At a higher gain, the brightness becomes more appropriate in dim scenes, but the noise increases. At a lower gain, the noise decreases, but the shutter speed becomes slower to compensate for the lack of brightness, causing camera-shake or subject blur.
